Around Christmas time every year, my in-laws bless us with a few dozen or so homemade tamales. They come stuffed with pork, chicken, and my favorite beans. We promptly freeze them and enjoy a few at a time, as tamales are great reheated in the microwave, right from a frozen state...which got me thinking.

Has anyone brought frozen tamales into the BWCA in their frozen food pack?

What are the properties of foods that are served best reheated from a frozen state?

...in this case, tamales are a protein wrapped with masa inside a corn husk (one side remaining open) and steamed. Anyone know why these are going to make such good camping food?

No plates to clean up!
