I found a granite molcajete in the woods at an abandoned homeless encampment. It was covered in dirt and garbage.
I thought since it was made of granite it wasnt a real molcajete and therefore not porous. So i cleaned it with soap and baking soda. But someone else pointed out to me that granite is porous.
So is it just fucked now? Im probably going to soak it for a week in water in hopes bad tastes get out and then completely dry it, and then season it a bunch.
Edit: Here's a picture of it

You can get a new one from Amazon or Target for like ~$17-25 on the lower end, I’d just get a new one – lord knows what it was used for/what that molcajete has seen.
Better safe than sorry imo
I would avoid using cookware I found in a homeless encampment personally
Methcajete ? I’ll pass.
Throw this shit away you fool
Sounds like the soap should be the least of your worries tbh
This has to be a troll 😂
aye mane if u make some salsa in that thang you gon be up for a week minimum
It probably used for drugs. This is dumb.
Nah fam, you gotta toss it after you absolutely annihilated the poor thing with _soap_.
Whenever I find a heroine molcajete covered in dirt and unknown garbage at a homeless encampment, I just use it as is.
NGL I’m kind of surprised we haven’t gotten a single report 🚩 on this post yet 😂
It is ruined, throw it away.
