That's how I buy them, we eat a serious amount of Tamales around here.

good golly miss molly , you might want to vary off that path a few times , that is a large amount of tamales to consume , just saying ....
maybe a tostada or enchilada once in while , you know or tacos, just to keep it interesting ....

I make big batches of Tamales and vacumn seal about 3 to 4 per bag for the freezer
. Never saw an extruder, making by hand is a pain .

Here is the link to the one I have. I bought a extra set of chambers so my wife can load one while I empty the other.

Very good Rojo, nice post. I use pulled pork in mine. Top with a mole sauce.

The mole sauce is intense, which I haven't accomplished yet. A dozen+ ingredients, and prepared with a slow roasted, stewed method. All day process. I frequently visit the local Latino grocery to buy theirs. You know when you have to speak Spanish in there it's the real deal - phone cards home posters in the windows.

Can't help myself in a taqueria to bring home plate lunches for dinner.

If you have a recipe for mole, please share. Thanks.

You are absolutely right Buckeye, but with the recipe, you don't have to go raid Rojo's freezer to get excellent Tamales either, LOL. Great right up John. Your right on time with the above recipe as Ms Joyce has been bugging the tar out of a bunch of folks to bring her some tamales. I never messed with making them before, but recon I will be now.
Seeing that Hobart mixer you have brings back a lot of memories. In every military kitchen I was ever in, we had at least 1 of it's bigger brothers. I ever get this settlement money I think one like that and a full-size confection oven will be in-place. But first My Boat Rebuilt stem to stern. Thanks again for the above recipe.
