Louie D. Garcia, from East Los, explains, first, why he added a middle name as protection. He then explains there are many ways to cook/steam tamales as there are to make them. He demonstrates how HE prefers to steam them.
Funny guy! Thanks for the tip about standing them up with the towel. Would have never thought of that, and it's so simple. Also like the 1 1/2 hours over medium heat, cause most recipes say 45 minutes. Which just didn't seem long enough to me.
Thanks for the video!!! I'm gonna go cook my tamales my mom gave me now. :)

ah, no fair, I thought I was getting a real Tamale recipe, not some way to reheat someone else's Tamales. :-(

love your video, I'm glad you used the towel. My grandmother used a towel and a plate.

There is nothing crazy about keeping family food traditions secret. It is fairly common to do so.
