Review: Great tamale 🫔 pot - Bought this to make tamales with my mom. The lid had a good seal. The pot is light weight, but it seems like the heat distributed well, since the tamales were evenly cooked. We made about 4 dozen, but it can definitely fit a lot more! Review: Great pot for tamales - Good pot for the price. I used this for tamales and was able to fit about 80 tamales from just the bottom section of the pit. The pot itself is good quality, perfect size and color. ## Features - GENEROUS COOKING CAPACITY: With its 16 quart capacity, this steamer caters to a wide range of cooking needs providing good performance for large batches - DURABLE WITH NATURAL FINISH: Crafted from durable aluminum, this steamer features a natural interior finish paired with a polished exterior, offering both reliability and a sleek appearance - EFFICIENT AND FUNCTIONAL: This steamer includes an aluminum lid designed to retain heat and moisture, complete with a removable steamer insert, and it is equipped with riveted iron chromed side handles for comfortable carrying - VERSATILE: Perfect for steaming tamales, vegetables, and seafood; can also function as a stock pot without the insert making it ideal for pasta, noodles, potatoes, and more - LARGE BATCH COOKING ESSENTIAL: This steamer is designed to accommodate gatherings and festive occasions, making it ideal for preparing Hispanic recipes and meals in generous quantities - This product contains Aluminum (Chromium Total, Chromium Compounds, Copper, Iron, Manganese and Manganese Compounds, Zinc).

I used this for tamales and was able to fit about 80 tamales from just the bottom section of the pit. The pot itself is good quality, perfect size and color. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST TAMALE POT TO GET! *by T***A on August 15, 2025* Perfect size for tamales for the holidays! And a great price! Worth the money ! Easy to use and it has the tray inside as well! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice steamer pot *by D***Y on July 4, 2024* This is a great steamer pot, fits roughly 5 dozen tamales depending on how much masa and filing you use in your husks. The lid fits tightly reducing how much steam is lost through the top, but the handle to the lid really conducts heat and gets hot in less than 30 minutes of use. Steamer plate is easy to remove and install making this an easy pot to clean. The steamer plate sits just over an inch from the bottom of the pot, giving around an hour and a half of steam if you leave the lid on the pot and turn the heat down when it starts boiling. ## Frequently Bought Together - IMUSA 16qt Aluminum Steamer - Tamales Masa Spreader | 2 Pcs Pack, Improved Grip Design | Masa Spreader For Tamales | Easy to Use Tool For Making Tamales | Tamale Spreader Tool | New, Improved Easy Grip Horizontal Design | Anapoliz - Corn Husks For Tamales 1 LB (16oz) - Natural and Premium Dried Corn Husk Tamale Wrappers | Perfect Hojas Para Tamal for Authentic, Flavorful Tamales | By Amazing Chiles and Spices --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/536276906-imusa-16-qt-aluminum-steamer-vaporera](https://www.desertcart.us/products/536276906-imusa-16-qt-aluminum-steamer-vaporera) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
