Recently bought my first molcajete and I’m worried about the size of the divots and holes in the bowl. The deepest one is about 1/4 of an inch. Is that too deep, or is this normal for a traditional molcajete? I’ve started the seasoning process and noticed that a lot of rice gets stuck in the holes before I can grind it down to a powder. Just want to make sure I didn’t get a defective one before I go any further.

Normal for an authentic one as they’re made from volcanic rock
Grind some dry rice into it.
Yes they are made of volcanic rocks you need to season them. I watched some videos on utube or you’ll be eating lots of debris!
