[@palomarodriguez3308]

You're very good at teaching. Not all good cooks are also good at teaching others. Thank you. :)

[@Carelmy]

It’s my first time in your channel. I’m puertorican but I like cuban tamales so much, thanks for your recipe!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

You're so welcome!

[@letitiaehlen9510]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been wanting to make tamales for my family for years but found it so intimidating to do by myself. I will definitely be trying it your way thi year!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Hope you and your family enjoyed them! Happy cooking.

[@truthhurtz2793]

Amazing !!! I learn something new every time I watch your channel ! Tamales always seemed so intimidating--but your recipe looks totally doable.....thank you !!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

I'm so glad you found this video helpful. I think you'll be surprised at how easy they are.

I agree with another comment: Amazing! I have never tried tamales because I only knew the Mexican style and it seemed a bit beyond me. I can definitely follow your recipe and look so forward to making chicken tamales this week. Gracias Lana!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Richard, thank you so much! I have always been amazed at the artistry of the way Mexican tamales are folded and one day I would love to learn how to do it. But for everyday cooking, my great grandmother's recipe is perfect. I have made them with chicken before and they are delicious. I how you enjoy them.

[@ladonnaowens710]

I would have loved to see you unwrap the two different methods, especially the foil ones!

[@lizzysan8030]

I wanna try making this on the weekend. I been wanting tamales but I only have a instant pot to cook in. Thank you!

[@josiecat8080]

Did you make them yet?? I’m about to try & also only have instapot atm!

[@latoyaveizaga-noreiga875]

Thank u! I like how u made it easier to do

[@sdstrickland77]

These look sooo good and easier than traditional tamales! I would’ve liked to see you taste them!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Has thanks. It was 6 in the morning so it didn't dawn on me to eat one. That's a good idea though.

[@poppywilliams8404]

Always ready to taste new dishes! Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way. Waving to you from south Georgia-land of best Peaches, boiled Peanuts, & Vidalia onions! ; )

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Yay, hope you like it! I love GA! I boosted Senoia which is one of my favorites too go to when driving up.

[@jackiev4652]

Wow! Thank you.

[@orestesdd]

Could you do tamales without using sugar? I'm diabetic, and I cannot add more sugar to masa.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Sure, you can omit the sugar and just let the sweetness come from the corn. You could also try using a sugar substitute that you can cook with. I haven't tried but I heard agave nectar and some others work well.

[@jonaozo540]

Just curious, what size aluminum foil sheets did you use in the video? Luv Ya God bless you

[@SmileyJay88]

can you freeze your leftover masa meat mix in a vacuum sealed bag?

[@LanaUnderPressure]

That's a great question. I'm not sure. Usually I make them all then freeze them. I think if you freeze the masa before cooking it might change the texture. I'll ask my dad.

[@3papitas]

Nice video, Lana. A couple suggestions, though. Wash meat before cooking to get the foul smell of the stationary blood. It, really, makes a difference. Secondly, don't recommend using aluminum foil for cooking anything. Those dark stains on aluminum foil that's been used for cooking are signs that Aluminum has escaped into the food. Research scientists have, recently, found that Aluminum has been found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients along with deficiencies in Vitamins D and B12. Short term memory goes first. Otherwise, great video!

Eso no es un tamal cubano... Adonde esta el sofrito? Y Maseca... jamás e visto un cubano usar eso? Ahí si que me dejastes botada 🤔🤦‍♀️

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Mi familia es de Santiago de Cuba. Esta es la receta de mi bisabuela. Puedes usar sofrito en el relleno, pero lo hice simple. Y mi bisabuela usaba Maseca porque el maíz en los Estados Unidos no es lo mismo que el maíz en Cuba. Así es como ella lo adaptó. Si sabes algo sobre los Cubanos, sabes que somos resistentes y podemos improvisar.

[@BonnieOsvany]

@@LanaUnderPressure yo tambien soy cubana... nunca habia visto usar Maseca para hacer tamales aqui... ahora harina de maiz como para tamal en cazuela... Si 😊 Lo comenté, porque yo se que la Maseca es super seca.. y yo por lo menos viviendo en Miami he tenido la suerte de conseguir maiz criollo que es lo que usamos en realidad 😊

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Estoy celoso de que vivas en Miami. Crecí en Hialeah y toda mi familia es del South Florida. Ahora, nos hemos movido por todo el país y puede ser tan difícil encontrar ingredientes para hacer comida Cubana. Pero me hace tan feliz cuando my followers aprenden y cocinan la comida de nuestra gente and love it. Que tengas un buen dia y stay safe!

[@BonnieOsvany]

@@LanaUnderPressure gracias Lana, cuidense por alla, aunque yo se que la cosa esta mejor alla arriba que por aca 😑... Yo originalmente soy de Chicago pero llevo 20 años ahora en Miami y vine a conocer el maiz criollo aqui... y realmente no hay tamal mejor 😊 me alegro que encontré tu canal 🙂
