How to Heat/Reheat Your Tamales
1.
Stove: Place the unopened bag(s) of tamales in boiling water or a steamer for 15-20 minutes from frozen and 10-15 minutes if thawed. Only 4-5 inches of water are necessary as the tamales heat in the bag.
2.
Microwave: Best if thawed prior to cooking. Poke a couple of holes in the bag or make a slit. Microwave 3-4 minutes depending on your microwave. If frozen, then microwave for 5 minutes. The bag will inflate a little and could be very hot! Carefully check and feel the bag to see if it is warm enough to your liking.
3.
Oven: Oven @ 300 degrees. Place unopened bag on either of the top 2 top racks for about 25–30 minutes if frozen and 20 minutes if thawed. Do not heat the oven higher than 300 degrees.
4.
Grills & Smokers First, take them out of the packaging. Keep them on the top rack and off direct flames. The cornhusks protect the tamales and add to the flavor! Or you can place them in your smoker for 2 hours
CAUTION
Bag and contents will be hot, allow time to cool before handling. If bag is open prior to heating, only heat by microwave or steam.
