Use these for making kahlua pork and have used them making shredded chicken as well. Two pounds goes a long way. They freeze up great!

Some leaves were not usable, however very ok with my purchase all thing considered

We recently started a family tradition of making homemade tamales over the holidays. These worked great - much better than corn husks. Came as a frozen bundle. Defrosted by run water over at the sink. Leaves were fresh, soft & pliable. Generally clean, but I did rinse them under running water to remove any remaining debris. Each leaf was approximately 12" x 3-4' long. Used a kitchen knife to remove the hard spine and cut to 8"x10" squares. Easy to cut! Rolled and tied with filling inside. Made about 50 tamales. Very happy

For being the first time using something like this was really helpful some have mould but after hot water wash and dry and cleaning it was good some was ripped so need to use aluminum foil best part for my experience they was flexible enough don't have to cook it o nothing else then cleaning it ðŸ‘ðŸ¼

these banana leaves did really well for wrapping up my Koba Ravine log ... unfortunately placing the log in a crock pot, instead of boiling it for 3 days in a huge tub of water like the video showed, did not turn out so well. the crock pots on here all stated that they did not go very much above boiling anyways so iplaced my mini-log into one and let it cook on slow for 2 days while constantly keeping my water topped up. this recipe "drinks" a lot of water before it gets done as it is turning the brown sugar and ground peanuts into a sort of caramel log which has a layer of rice flower between the log and the banana leaf wrapping. the crock pot turned it into a huge lump of charcoal wrapped in moist banana leaves and tied shut with 100 percent cotton butcher's twine

ihad much better results baking the remainder of my filling with the rice flower stirred into it in a 13 by 9 pyrex casserole dish with a quart of milk poured over it and a couple of pieces of banana leaf placed on top of a layer of rice flour and weighted down with some potatoes, which idecided to bake at the same time. using this method with the temperature set at 350, it is done when your whole house smells like caramel chunk cookies. the taters might take a bit longer. it turns out much like a very thick pudding or maybe a dough of some sort, this depends on how much milk or water you add. adding some vanilla is optional, or so igathered from the youtube video where isaw it cooked. they added it to one batch but left it out of a second, then mentioned that one could add in other spices and or flavoring if they wished.
