Sloppy Joes from scratch and tots tonight. I made a honey mustard sauce for the tots at igors request. Milk to drink. There's still pie for dessert later.

Those sloppy Joes look great, haven't had that for years!

Herbs, jerky, leftover veggies, especially zucchini, celery and onions that I've grown at home, then premeasure and package with the vacuum sealer and store in the freezer until ready to use, usually in soups, stews or meatloaf during the winter. The dogs love dehydrated beef liver, they get a piece every day. Not a lot of fruit, mostly apples for igors lunches. I've dehydrated chocolate cake before and reconstituted with hot coffee while fishing. That was good. OMG tomato chips! They are the best ever! Just thinly slice Roma tomatoes and dehydrate, super simple.

Interesting...never heard of tomato chips. Sounds like you get a lot of use from your dehydrator.

I've been looking at food steamers, any thoughts on these?

I want to start steaming more fresh vegetables and it would be great to be able to make homemade tamales too.

I have a steamer like that but do not use it. I Use an insert that goes into a sauce pan. They make them out of stainless steel or silicone

I saw those too. But I don't know they would be tall enough/upright enough to steam tamales

For tamales you need a very large pot and steamer.

I live in an Hispanic community so they sell them here in the grocery store

You also need a stock pot that can fit the insert.

The first one averages 4.5 stars with the most reviews, I would probably go with that.

They aren't. You gotta make a bunch of tamales to make the effort worthwhile in my opinion and those little things are worthless for steaming them. You need a real steamer.
I make mine short and fat so they fit in my regular steamer just fine.

Exactly!

You have to make at least 24 to 48 tamales at a time and freeze a bunch of them
