Tamales - Steaming Tamales

[pheadrasfall]

if anyone bothered to listen they only fill the husks to a certain middle point where you see the little ties ..so actually nothing edible is touching the boiling water so actually it's just steaming the tamal while letting the husks do their work.I will continue to steam mine as this scares me a tad ,but bottom line tamales are not delicate french pastries they are very hardly little creatures who just need to cook long enough with tasty ingredients inside might try this

no!!! big mistake!!! water is not supose to touch the tamales.

Many cooks actually boil their tamales instead of steaming them. There are many, many, many ways to both make and cook tamales. Critics, if you know so much, make your OWN tamal making video.

And they're really good with Taco Bell sauce, Yall'.

What a fantastic idea! This would be especially great in the summertime when the kitchen is really hot, because an electric skillet does not heat the entire kitchen like a stovetop does.

Thanks for sharing!
