Does a Molcajete help keep the avocado from turning color?

No. Use lime juice and store it with a good seal. The brown color is just that, color. It will not affect the taste. Just stir it up and enjoy!

No, a squeeze of lemon or cap full of white vinegar will do that. Honestly, I don't recommend this molcajete for guacamole at all because it is too porous. Better to use stainless steel or a regular dish and just use a fork to mash the avocado.This is best for grinding garlic, chilis, & seeds (like cumin). Good luck!

No a molcajete will not keep an avocado from turning color. One thing that works is to microwave your avocado for 20 seconds before cutting into the skin. That is a tip I learned from Chef Claudia in Mexico.

I bought this after learning that this product is apparently effective in preventing Agave plants from being killed by a particular grub. When a previously health Agave plant suddenly appears like it is "collapsing", often times there is a grub attacking the core of the plant. Feeding this to the plants BEFORE they are affected, may be a preventative measure. I only know this from googling about insects that destroy agaves and as I had this problem, I bought this product; I have not however used it yet, so I don't have personal experience with it. Hope that is helpful.

Works wonderfully. Cushion at the bottom protects well, never a bruise! My avocados take quite a tug to separate sometimes, too.

No, better to use Avacado oil.I recently learned that heating olive oil changes it and makes it a carcinigen

I used a steamer to block acrylic squares. The color of the blocks did not bleed through. My next project is an ecru colored cotton doily. I will be using the wet blocking method. I will let you know how it turns out.

I just returned it. It is NOT white. Ibelieve Adams calls it dessert sand or some such.

I used it in a homemade sun block recipe, about a tablespoon used, and it didn't show up white when applied.

I personally haven't used this on avocado or citrus. I have used it on indian hawthorn and palms. It works great for these. The package insert says to use 4 tsp/gallon of water for the avocado and 2-4 tsp for citrus. Hope this helps.

They don't go bad so long as they stay capped Ive had a bottle of avocado green for 5 years and its still good to use the metallic colors and sheen colors separate but you just shake them a bit before use

I have never had ro do that, but I understand that a solution of white vinegar helps with lime deposits. If you do manage to clear the deposit, I'sd suggest switching to distilled water to prevent it happening again.

I have been able to "ease out" the color to some degree, in a specific area, though deep coloration would be difficult. CAREFUL scraping with the side of an X-acto blade helps a little, too.

A trick a Colombian friend of mine grew up doing to keep guac from turning brown is to leave the avocado pits in the bowl with the guac. Just put one in the center. I don't know how or why it works but it does.

Nope. That's what I was trying to do and it ended up a nasty grayish, muddled color. I don't know if I have a bad batch or if that's normal but I'd say you're better off trying to make homemade color with spinach juice.

Gosh, I have no idea! I did read recently that the Pam cooking spray I used may have been the cause of the staining. Sorry that's all I know!!

Mash them with avocado and hot sauce! Good way to hide the jarring flavor :-)

It's funny you should ask this question today. I have had a problem with tortillas sticking together in my warmer and just this morning did one of those head-slaps, thinking that parchment paper between slices would solve that problem. I will try it next time.
