  1. Wikipedia suggest the following treatment of a "new"  molcajete:

     

    A new basalt molcajete needs to be "broken in" because small grains of basalt can be loosened from the surface when it is first used and this will give an unpleasant gritty texture to the first few items prepared in it. A simple way to do the initial "seasoning" is to grind uncooked white rice in the molcajete, a handful at a time. When the white rice flour has no visible grains of basalt in it, the molcajete is ready to use. Some rice flour may remain ground into the surface of the molcajete, but this causes no problems.

     

    Don't know if that's of any help with yours.

    Thank you, @TdeV.  May I ask what you use  multiple racks for?  Is it for dehydrating stuff?

    Place one of those racks in a groove and another in the groove below with your sheet pan on it - there's your perforated pan - those racks have a about a 1/4 inch crosshatch so are especially good for dehydrating - blueberries won't fall through
