That's what I needed to know. Thanks........= )

Well explained thanks

You should re-edit your video so that you don't duplicate the first 7 minutes and don't present the rest of the process out of sequence. Weird.

Too much Lime and too much washing. 1 to 1 1/2% lime to corn and rinse but don't agitate - keep at least 50% of the skins and grind them along with the kernels. in Oaxaca they rinse all the lime away, in most other parts of Mexico they like a little lime in the Masa. Over working the grain while rinsing makes for weak tortillas that cannot be turned after only 30 seconds, first side.

He has a Bosch. You know he means business.

This is so informative. You’ve spent a lot of time learning this and what you’ve packed in here is not only comprehensive but also invaluable. Thank you for doing this work. Too bad you’re not single. Ha. I would like to watch this again and again taking notes, the practice myself then use it so I can make a demonstration with teenaged girls at church church and at the inner city mission where I volunteer with young ladies. What I appreciate is just how much info you’ve included here for me ti do that in one video. Typically when I go to share fermenting or sour dough making or grain milling or pasta making with these girls it takes so much time collecting books and watching countless videos ti get ready. So that you. You saved me not only time which I seem to have less of as I age but also money. Thank you.

You need to edit this video. You have the same clip twice of you pouring the quart of dent corn to be rinsed into your iron pan.

Thank you

Thank you you I have a meet grinder and I was on the process to purchase a corn mill You save me some money! Thank you so much!

Can you get it fine enough to make a reasonable Mexican style corn tortilla using a meat grinder or is it only suitable as a tamale dough?

I use my food processor.

Many borring

Thank you

many people talking. very disturbing!

So yeh the editing got twisted around, but the ideas are great Thanks

Great video. I have the hand grinder for a non-electric option but using a meat grinder will be great for more regular use. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, excellent video! Can you pickel it in a ceramic bowl....

thank you sooo much! i'm asian and i LOVE making tamales! i wanted to learn how to make masa tamales from scratch so i could experiment with different corn flavors!! couldn't find a video anywhere!! also loved that your video had science and history facts!! people should learn these old ways... too much reliance on prepackaged everything.

This video could have been shortened to 6 minutes.

Like this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a61hlZtnrLuapZs.html

Send everyone to the movies and turn down the phones on the next video please...

To get the rest of your corn out through the grinding plate use 3 to four ice cubes at the end of the grind. I just made my first batch of tamales from scratch and I used hominy in the 5 pound can already processed I believe it was old hicory corn as the kernels were as big as chi peas. I had to add only about a quarter cup of water before makjng my masa.

The Aztecs and really all North American Natives used calcium hydroxide (lime) or ashes which have alkaline. I don’t know about South America, because Venezuelan arepas don’t use it.

The corn was not cooked as it should be, the screen he used was too fine and a meat grinder, electric or manual is not the right grinder for tortilla o tamales masa. the idea is to obtain a white masa with very fine texture. Other than that it is a nice video.

Is it similar to the corn i used to make popcorns?

You should say, “when the colonizers came they didn’t listen or pay attention to the Indigenous people on how to use corn.”

What other body part could possibly get caught in a meat grinder other than fingers? Ok there are other other possibilties, I guess.

Such a thorough demonstration of the process, but why would you cut the video together out of sequence? Repeating the first 4 minutes of the video. So much opportunity for success here.

Could you do this with other grains and legumes/beans?

Thanks for the knowledge! Side note im pretty high right now and your video editing kinda messed with me a tad. So also very entertaining.

Very informative. Odd editing, however, good infomercial for Bosch,..

hola vivo en México y ud hizo la tecnica d nixtamalizado muy bien. gracias a la tortilla y a la cal q se le agrega los niños en mexico no tienen sus pies chuecos ya q aporta el calcio necesario. lo felicito lo unico q yo haria no enjuagar mucho cuando esta cocido ya q le quita la cal absorvida solo un enjuague rapido y ya felicitaciones .

I am a Mexican anthropologist cook. The process was discovered in Mesoamerica (Mexico) NOT by the Incas as you suggest.

You can pick up a Corona corn mill for about $20. 40 years ago, every house in rural Mexico had a wooden bench with a Corona mill mounted on it, and a flat stone and stone sestal for the final grind. In dry areas, it was common for the chickens to do the clean up, to save water.

Is this regular popcorn corn?

Polenta is not nixtamalized. Polenta is made from simple corn meal.

can u imagine now ! how fast we will ran out of fresh water, even the corn have to take shower.

Too bad the People talking in the background ruined Your video.

Com'n, give the man a brake! Comment on the good things! He may not have that much experience editing, so, how about gently suggesting at the end?!

good

Thank you so much for this information. I had no idea so much work went into preparing corn. I'm really impressed with your Bosch meat grinder.

Good demonstration! Thank you! However a little frustrating when the whole beginning process repeats itself.

This guy just wanted to show off his new grinderrrrrr.

Good info crappy editing

That was intense and very comprehensive. I learned a lot. Thank you for doing this video.

that's gonna ruin your cast iron!

That person talking in the background during your entire video is HIGHLY annoying!

And you cant say tamale its tamal, tamal is the right way to say it.

The ones who discovered nixtamalization were mayas ancient guatemalan civilization and i can tell about it because i am from guatemala and i live there.

Is your machine able to grind wheat? My kitchen aid mixer, with the wheat attachment, fell apart after a couple of weeks of grinding (2-3 grinds a week) wheat. A machine that can do only one thing is not good.
