Hey there! To cook tamales perfectly, steam them for about 1.5 to 2 hours, checking occasionally to make sure they’re firm and the husk easily pulls away from the masa. Make sure the water in your steamer doesn’t run out! Happy tamale-making!

Hey there! Tamales usually take about 1.5 to 2 hours to cook. If you’re steaming them, just make sure they’re fully cooked through and the masa is firm. Keep an eye on them and check if they pull away from the husks easily. Enjoy your tamale-making!
