Using the stove to reheat your tamales.

The first method I will go in-depth in analyzing how it is done is reheating tamales using a stove. First I will issue a warning to my readers use these process if you have enough patience and time to watch as your tamales reheat to avoid them from burning. These process will give you crispy and sweet tamales there will be no additional fats if you use these process. It involves using a stainless steel cookware and a stove.
Prepare the tamales by removing the husks and throw them to the trash bin, your tamales won't be sweeter if you cook it without removing the husks. Preparation is always good if you want to get the best out of any procedure.
The next step involves pouring olive oil into the stainless steel cookware once the stove is on the stove. Make sure your stove is working well and its heating system is perfect, wait for the process to start producing some little smoke. Do not rush the process just control the heat from the stove and wait for the pan to release a little smoke.
The next step involving placing the tamales in the pan. Gently place the tamales into the stove and look for a clean lid and cover the pan. Make sure the lid does not have any water dropping from it wipe it carefully to remove any water on it before covering the pan. If water is on the lid it may mess up the process which is going on well.
Continue cooking the tamales while flipping after every two to three minutes. This is a very important stage, doing these step perfectly will decide the outcome of the final results. If it is done perfectly then the outcome will be perfect and also if it is not done perfectly the outcome will not be very pleasant. So to have great result have a full concentration while doing the process.
 Continue cooking the tamales until you get the desired color. When the tamales turn brownish on the external and crispy then it is good for consumption. Be careful about this stage because it is vital and you might end up with over-cooked tamales if you leave it for too long. And also, the tamales might be under-cooked if it is removed from the stove faster when it is no ye ready. Lack of patience can cause you to have under-cooked tamales on your table to be cool and take your time, the average time for cooking tamales is five to ten minutes to check your clocks for perfect results.

Reheat the tamales using an oven.

All sides of the tamales are reached by the heat. No one particular spot is over-heated so there is no fear of having a tamale which is not okay to be distributed for sale.
The oven needs to be set at 218.3 degrees Celsius. Set the oven to 218.3 degrees Celsius and preheat it to get it ready for the tamales to be inserted into the oven. Preheating the oven allows the equipment inside the oven to be at the same temperature before you start cooking the tamales.

Cook the tamales for a timeframe of exactly 20 minutes. Flip the tamales after ten minutes to avoid one side from overcooking. This is a vital step because if you can not flip the tamales after ten minutes it will overheat on one side and also if you leave the tamales for longer than 20 minutes the tamales will also overheat. So be observant and timely to avoid such occurrence from happening since one mistake and our tamales won't be perfect.
