How long are tamales supposed to be cook?
It is possible to make tamales all day.You soak the corn husks when you make the beef, chicken, pork or beans.Everyone has a slightly different approach to assembling the tamale.Some tamale makers tie the corn husks with twine.If you want to relax in the kitchen, you need to keep an eye on the pot.
You should use a steamer that will allow you to stand the tamales upright.If you put water in the steamer, make sure it doesn't touch the basket.The steamer basket should be set over the water.If you leave the stove on high, the water will evaporate quickly if you bring it to a boil.If you want to cook, keep the pot covered and let the tamales steam.You should check the tamales for doneness after about 30 minutes of steaming, depending on your stove, the type of steamer you use, and whether you're steaming raw frozen or freshly prepared.The tamales are done when the dough feels firm.
