Reheating Tamales

Tamales are best eaten fresh, but they can also be frozen or kept in the refrigerator for two to three days.

Here are some ways to heat the Tamales Up:

Microwave:

Wrapping tamales in a damp paper towel before placing them in the microwave. We suggest thirty seconds to one minute depending on how many you are trying to warm up.

Steamer:

Using a steamer basket to reheat tamales is another simple way with reheating them. Fill the pot with 2 to 3 inches of water. If the tamales are fresh and have been in the refrigerator it should take 10 minutes or less. If the tamales have been frozen it can take about 30 minutes or less. Of course, this will be dependent on the number of tamales in the pot, and the temperature you're steaming them at

Oven:

Preheat the oven to 425 F, you can wrap the tamales with aluminum foil, and placing them inside They can be in the over for about 20 minutes,and can be flipped halfway through to heat on both sides.

Stove:

Place the tamales on a flat pan for about 3 minutes on each side, this should only take about 10 minutes and the exterior of the tamales should have a nice crispy exterior.
