    This is also my issue, I was gifted smooth mortar and pestles too. I guess this a common problem.

    I got a molcajete years ago, made of pummice stone. They did warn you that you need to condition it to get a lot of the grit worked out before using it for food. They recommended dry rice. The rice ground into the holes and would not come out, and I never did get it to the point where I wasn't getting grit. I gave up, it went in the trash. Not in a hurry to get a new one. So smooth is bad, but although this one was rough, I would not recommend it.

    Same here. Was gifted a mortar and pestle, but both pieces are so smooth that I couldn't grind anything and gave up on it after one use.

    No. I do have one that I was gifted several years ago, but it's ceramic and both pieces are smooth. It's difficult to grind with it because whatever I put in it just slides around.

    I have a couple of mortar and pestles. One is ceramic and the other is marble. The former is medium-sized and the latter is fairly small. So I'm thinking of adding a molcajete big enough for guacamole. I see some decent looking molcajetes on Amazon in the $30 - 50 range.
