Tamale Instructions

1. Steaming (Best for Multiple Tamales)

Method: Place tamales vertically in a steamer basket over boiling water.

Time: Steam for 15-25 minutes until hot.

Tip: Keep the water level up; standing them upright helps them vent.

 

2. Microwave (Fastest for One or Two)

Method: Wrap a tamale in a damp paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate.

Time: Microwave for 1-2 minutes, adding time for more tamales.

Tip: Use a wet paper towel to add moisture and prevent dryness.
