    Unless you're going to eat them immediately, the key to keeping tamales from getting soggy is to remove them from their liquid, once they are finished cooking, and store them in an air-tight container, such as Tupperware.....leaving them sitting in their cooking liquid will guarantee a soggy sheeity tamale.

    Unless you got a veggie steamer, the best way to reheat tamales is to place them upright, standing up in a saucepan with only a half inch of water, and let them steam on medium heat until ready to eat.....to aid them to stand upright, just bundle about 6 of them together with some string.

    Microwave makes tamales sorta dry and tough.

    Btw, as a kid, when we had tamales, my mom served us a dipping sauce mixture of equal parts of her home-made mayo, ketchup, and mustard, with a few shakes of chili and garlic powder.
