They're not super hard to make a couple for yourself. Great fun to throw a tamalada too.

I could make a tamale, or I could find the jankiest, rustiest food cart out there in the world, order a tamale for like two bucks, and have my mind absolutely blown.

cries in 20 inches of snow I really wish that was an option for me :(

Just figured out using a tortilla press for spreading the masa... absolute game changer.

That doesn't press too much air out and make them dense? I've got some experimenting to go do

Doesn't press out any more air than a spoon does, just makes it very even. Properly prepared masa will fluff up as it steams. Happy experimenting!

I sympathize with you mushroommunk, nearest tamale cart is over a thousand miles away so I learned to make them myself.
