I know that you have to steam the tomales after you assemble them, but why do you steam them? And what's the purpose of steaming them?

Do it Babetoo, Your going to LOVE them and they're quite easy to make. The only hard part of the whole process is wrapping them up that will take a bit of time. My mom and I did 15 + in about half hours time, but then again we both did the wrapping together.this thread has made me very excited about learning to make them. ordered a tamale steamer from target. looking forward to the process
Very cool, Let us know how they taste when you get ready to make them ok Babetoo?my handyman is mexican and a cooking buff. will have him help with the wrapping. he brought me some made by one of his sister's. oh my gosh, so yummy, moist and tender.
we have many mexican grocery store here, three in my area alone. so will go there for ingredients with help from abel .
he will love it and i am looking forward to cooking with him.
