Tamales Masa Spreader - Pack of 4

Wow. I purchased a 4 pack of these after watching a video of lady going to town on some husks with these badboys like a boss.Seeing that I love tamales and have my own assembly line of workers ( 3 kids) I decided that this weekend we would have TAMALE night!!!!I prepared my family recipe for masa and Verde to go along with my grilled pre-brined chicken breast. I set out some parchment paper for each of my kids and a cake pan full of my mixed masa, handed them this tool, and told them to get to work.We did 48 tamales in about 15 minutes. Yes- it takes a minute or two to get the thickness right but one you do it's amazing. The tamales turned out perfect. Buy this product for your Christmas Eve tamales and you'll have more time to enjoy the family and less time in the kitchen.

Growing up we spread masa with a spoon. For years I have used these types of spreaders and it is easier to teach someone to help and also allows me to complete more on my own!

I have been wanting to get this product since I saw the YouTube video! I tried using it the same weekend it arrived! Don't be discouraged, it takes a little practice but within about the first half hour, the spreader began working wonderfully, (a little human error was simply to blame). I highly recommend this product if you are into making A LOT of tamales at a time. It really helps but, you may have to share, as you will want to be the only one using the spreader, with everyone else filling and rolling just to keep up with you!

These make it easy to spread the maza but I wish they were a bit wider to cover more of the husk.

I bought these to help me and my family members make a batch of tamales. We are not real fast at doing it the normal way and have only made tamales a few times. My sister in law was helping me and this was her first time making tamales. She had a great time making them with me. I still have to figure out a good mass mix but the mix we had spread very nice and even. After we were done and the tamales were cooked up it was wonderful to see the nice uniform masa on the outside so that it covered the filling great. I would recomend these to anyone interested in making tamales even if you have done it in the past with out them.

Good to use if you know how to do it, takes practice to really do it right. My choice rather just use a table spoon. Old school way.

Where have these been all my life. Tamale making is a process and these spreaders make the jobeasier and quicker. I learned by using the backside of a spoon to spread masa, but these spreadersmake that job easier and quicker. A very nice little tool. I tip my hat to whom ever came up with this.

I have not had the chance to use this tool yet (may not, until next Christmas). But I have watched all the inventor's videos, and I just know it's going to make my life a LOT easier! After my first foray into tamale-making this past Christmas, I was ready to throw in the towel - it took far too long to spread the masa, and I did such a lousy job that they came out looking all deformed. I'm ready to try again! Got some extras for gifts, too!
