Absolutely, you can over steam tamales, and it's a serious culinary crime in my house! If you leave them steaming for too long, the masa turns super mushy, and the filling loses its texture. Think of it like pasta; cook it al dente. You want your tamales firm enough to hold together but still soft and moist. A good rule of thumb is to check them after about an hour. If the masa sticks to the husk, give them a bit more time. But watch out, it's a fine line between perfectly cooked and oversteamed!
I once left my tamales steaming while binge-watching a show... Big mistake. They turned into a soggy, sad mess. So yes, you can over steam them, and no, you don't want to find out what that's like.
