| Sometimes you need a special tool for a special job. This product was designed specifically for spreading masa onto corn husks or banana leaves for making tamales. If you've ever tried to spread masa with a spoon you'll know why this tool is so perfect! To use, you pick up about 1/2 cup masa on the edge of the spreader, place the spreader on the husk (the spreader has a built in angle so you know just how to hold it) slide the spreader towards you and you get a perfect layer of masa. You can control the thickness of the masa by the pressure you apply. Made in U.S.A.
*Note, masa spreader color may vary. |
