What should I look for in an electric steamer for use to make tamales I don't know a whole lot about what makes an electric steamer a good steamer. I'm looking for recommendations for one where I'm hoping to make tamales with. The plan is to make large batches so capacity is definitely a concern. Would the multi-level steamers work?

Any specific recommendations would be great. Any suggestions on what features to look for would also be appreciated.
I have never cooked tamales before, but when looking for something that needs to get hot (griddle, waffle iron, steamer) 


Get something made out of metal. Plastic will not get as hot and will warp over time.
Avoid Low/Med/High dials, get something that will tell you the actual temperature.
Even heat distribution is key. Make sure the element/steam is not lopsided.


Some things that I would go for would be a glass top, a digital dial, and a safety power cord that detaches from the unit if yanked.
