Does anyone here make tamales? We had a neighbor give us some after his 4th of July party - they were amazing. (I'd never had them before.)

Seemed like they were corn and black beans and not much more.

I just bought a box of corn "seconds" so now I have like 30 ears of corn to use up somehow. I found this recipe - does this seem about right? I don't have a steamer or double boiler - not sure if there's another way to cook them?

- I use a metal colander over a pot with a couple inches of water as a steamer. (set a lid just inside the colander to cover the food you are steaming) -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 14:46 5
  - I have one of these - but it's kind of small. - kelly Jul 14, 14:50 4
    - As long as it doesn't get into the water and you can get a lid to cover your food that's cool. - Bacon Jul 14, 14:52 1
      - It collapses and lays flat when not in use. -- nm - kelly Jul 14, 14:54
    - I generally see them steamed standing on end. -- nm - Meg Jul 14, 14:51 1
      - Yep with small gaps between to let the steam get in. -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 14:53
not me but some families i know -- nm - charlie Jul 14, 14:42
Usually have a pork or shredded beef. -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 14:42
Steaming is essential. Do you have a vegetable steamer? -- nm - the liioujl with extraneous j and minus a u Jul 14, 14:40 2
- or a big pasta strainer -- nm - peglegpete Jul 14, 14:45
