It took me a couple minutes to get the hang of it, but then the whole process went very quickly. I like how even and uniform each tamale was. The masa spreads smoother at room temperature than cold from the fridge.
Pros
  • Fast, fun, even

Works great if mesa is warm. Ordered four and only have one left. Friends do not let friends spread the old way.

Thank goodness you have a how-to video on your site. My skeptical, Mexican long-time tamale makers were amazed to see how easy it made the process.

Tamale spreader
April 10, 2016
I never made tamales before.  I tried making them for the first time in 48 years and I was having problems with the masa. Which is why it took me so long toStart making them. I didn't feel confident enough. Now that I gave it a shot I tried everything I could think of to make it easier too spread the masa. I found what I thought was the answer,  until my hand started cramping up so bad I couldn't move it.  So I looked on line and found you.  Right away,  I ordered the tamales spreader.  I was hoping it would get here in time to finish an order I had of 18 dozen tamales.  Of course,  it came the same day. When I was done.  It's just my husband and myself that make tamales in a kitchen that should be in a small bachelors pad. I love this product. I'm still trying to figure it out. I'd like to be able too spread the masa in one swipe,  like it's advertised.  
Pros
  • Easier to spread masa.
Cons
  • Does not spread masa evenly in one swipe.  Takes several to spread the masa.

We bought three and once our friends and family tried them they all got "borrowed" for their own tamales! These are awesome, grandmothers, great aunts, people that have been making tamales for years loved them!  Cut our mass spreading time in half!

I love the Masa spreader. I quit making Tamales years ago, because it was such a hassle to put the masa on. Now I can make them whenever I want. The spreader is great.

tamale spreader
January 9, 2016
I was a little hesitant and skeptical, about this product! After receiving the item in the mail (took about 3 days to receive it), I immediately thought that this spreader just might be the answer to quickly spreading the masa for tamales! Two days after I received the spreader, we made tamales (my wife and I)! I usually spread and my wife stuffs the tamales. My wife usually has to stop stuffing, so she can help me catch up, with the corn husks! NOT THIS YEAR!!!!! This device was so useful and QUICK, that I ended up taking breaks, so my wife could catch up to me! I have told MULTIPLE friends of mine, that this is the REAL DEAL! Thank you for a wonderful, helpful item! Making tamales will never be the same for me. VERY GOOD product! I would recommend, this product (and I have) to anyone, that is going to make tamales!

My new favorite tool
December 2, 2015
My 12 year old granddaughter and I lived the masa spreader. I purchased 4 of them and 1 I gave her as a gift. Fast even and fun. Had the pleasure of speaking with the creator on the phone, a very lovely and generous woman. She made a lot of lives much easier. Her family and friends call her the tamale ambassador!! I hope to see more bright colors, I just love color. 
Pros
  • Clean, fast and very affordable
Cons
  • Does not work well if your husk are wet so give them a shake or a pat or stand up to drain a little or masa will not spread evenly where there are wet spots

Best tamales I've ever made.
September 21, 2015
Your Tamale Masa Spreader helped me create the best tamales ever. Great consistency of masa per tamale. No more dough balls with not enough meat. It also made making tamales much faster. Being able to spread the dough and stack the spread husks made things move right along. My neighbor wanted to use it!
Pros
  • Easy to use. The ability to pick up the unused masa dough with the spreader made it much less messy. No more doughy hands.
Cons
  • I don't see any minuses with this product though I've only used it once.
By Dennis

Every tamale maker should own 2 or 3 of these
January 21, 2015
I bought 6 for my wife and her family, 14 all together. Xmas tamale making was amazing. We went through 60 pds. the first night in about 2 hrs. after all of the BS. The next day my wife made up 30 pds. by herself in 2 hrs. Amazing item. We don't see how you can keep them in stock. I did check with 'E-Super' market which said they were contracted to sell but had no luck finding them.
Pros
  • I can't say how amazing this product is.
Cons
  • None, nothing, there is nothing wrong with the Tamale Spreader.

How did I ever make tamales before without this gadget? The spreading was always the tedious part. Now the spreading is the easiest! I can't believe how easy it was to use. While I'm not quite the master spreader as the lady in the video, it was very easy to use and worked just like it is supposed to. There is no excuse now for not making tamales year around.

Mas Tamales Spreader
January 8, 2012
I'm a white girl, who learned how to make tamales. Never spreaded the masa with a spoon, used this, from the get go. I bought 5, ended up giving 4 of them away, to my tamale maker friends and Mother-In-Law. They love it, and I do too. I'm ordering more,so I can have some on hand, for others. :) :)
Pros
  • Easy to use, and cuts time down, QUICKLY on spreading masa on corn husks
Cons
  • Can't think of any

It really works - and I am a begginer
January 5, 2012
The Mas Tamale spreader works - there is a learning curve (just like with anything else) - but once I got the hang of it ,I couldn't imagine making tamale with out it - My tamale making experience is very limited, just a few times with friends and it has been years since the last time I did that - I really wanted to learn how to do it on my own - I feel like a pro after seeing and tasting my results - rick bayless red chile pork filling and mark miller masa - and the spreader - my tamales rocked! I can now teach other family member how to make tamales - I have already ordered more spreaders... peace
Pros
  • even , one swipe masa application.
Cons
  • learning curve - which was exspected.

Cons
  • Nothing

This tool is awesome and making tamales is a pleasure, can make them so much faster now. Better than the palm and spoon method that I was raised on! My girlfriend who helps make them loves it too. She has RA and this tool makes it very easy for her to work the husks to spread the masa. Thank you for such a wonderful tool!

Enjoy!! E.

This is a useful item. I refer to it as my "tamale trowel" because it looks almost like a drywall mud trowel. It's easy to use and I used it to press out extra thick sopes.

I can't get corn husks overseas, they always get taken at customs. I have had to switch to tamales wrappers. They work well....the spreader did not work with them, but would have been perfect if I had corn husks. Definitely recommend this product and highly recommend watching the video.
