Absolutely anything. salsas, mole, one of my relatives used to even make peanut butter. It is very versatile.

I've never made pesto but would imagine it would be ideal. My understanding is in Mexican culture, molcajetes would typically be used for salsas, moles, and grinding spices. I read one reviewer from Mexico say that they would never make guacamole in a molcajete in Mexico. Thats not their traditional use for this product. So maybe that's more a way to market the product to consumers in America.

Hi Visa, This pan is intended for Itallian cooking and based on a tradition in metal working related to Italian cookware. The pan itself does not have any indication of where it is manufactured, however doubtful it is Italy. At any rate, l I have owned the pan over a year and used mostly for risotto. Very well made and I would recommend.

I too burned out the motor--making pesto of all things! I have searched all over with no luck. They sell replacement parts for everything BUT the motor. I second your plea for help.

That product is imported from Venezuela. It´s made there and corn is from there too. That is a very famous product in that country and for all the world. It was invented and patented in Venezuela. It is a product of the Polar Enterprises.

My husband used it for a while, and was happy with the result. I didn't pay any attention to where it was made. FWIW, I don't buyfrozen seafood from China.

I have never made tamales with this product, but I know that it will work well I use this product often to make my own corn tortillas and homemade taco chips and the product works great.

There is a separate container for "dry" ingredients that when pulsed, allows for chopping. I tried it and although it does "chop loosely" I don't feel it fully replaces a food processor for the variety the processor allows. If you are making Pesto, either container would work just fine. The extra container for the dry pulsing is not cheap ...

I'm reading these questions, because I've received this item as a much-wanted gift. (I'm thrilled!) And, coincidentally, I've just read an interesting series of posts about using a pestle and mortar for making nut butters on another site. See link. (I hope it's OK to post it.) Look for the comment and answers from a poster named Nablusiya. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/796482?page=all

I beleive the metels are from China,but at this point just about everything is made in China,this product at one time was made here in the states,but like everything else most of our products are from China,thanks to all our great corporations that don't make enough money here they sent most of it to China, Mexico and were ever else they can get something made for such cheap labor,but all in all it did turn out to be so far a pretty good product,I would recomend it,it still has a very good name ,Farberware has been around a very long time,we still have a few pots from 30 years ago that are still working for us,my wife refuses to get rid of them,so at this point the price was right,the product is good,I say go for it.

I guess some of the parts may made in Chine, but I am not sure. Buttomline is I have used it for over a year. I do not see any problem. It works really well for me for scheduling cooking bean porrige, port bone soup, stream sweet yam and patato.

Good question, just look for where it was made, its on the box and the product itself. Its the best rice cooker I have ever owned and I've been using it everyday for years....cooking tip, adjust your water to rice ratio. The line is a good starting point.

I don't know where it's made, but the quality is excellent. Use wooden spoonsto prolong the life of the enamel.

I have made tortillas with It and it tastes pretty good with a decent consistency. Not very good leftover though.

I checked the bottom...it does not say made in Italy. It does have a few Italian words on it. Regardless...I love this pan. I used it primarily for risotto, but it comes in handy for other dishes as well.

Its made in Mexico, no name brand. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. Issues about 5 months in. I contacted the company, they credited my account 10 bucks to ship back (cost me 12 bucks). They never sent me a replacement and they don't answer my emails. Forward this to them and Amazon and see if they respond !
