Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation So, how do you cook your grits?

I am old school, when it comes to cooking grits. Long and slow. Takes about 20 to 25 minutes to get them right.
Recently I bought a new stove, a Maytag 5 burner gas. The small burner is just 5000 BTU, and it throttles down to a real simmer.
Best pot I have ever found for grits, is this old Le Cruset sauce reduction pan. Cast iron. It makes perfect grits every single time. Period.

20 min on low. Check with about 5 min left,sometimes I need to add a tad more heat.

dry, but not dried out. Cooking proper grits is an art form.

I almost always toss in a bunch of Cheddar cheese as well.

Instant in the microwave

OHHHHHH YEEAAAAAHHHHHH !~!~!

Long, slow, and covered in an old 2qt Revereware sauce pan.
I add some browned and diced bacon (drippings and all).
If I'm in the mood I'll add some grated onion too.

shocker!! NOT!

I only use stone ground grits. From there slow cooked served with butter, salt and pepper. Nothing else 'cept eggs, toast and bacon.

David grits is not something you are going to find a lot of demand for in Wyoming

that is perverted.

these are stone ground in Alabama. They'll do.

Grits make excellent floor dry. Never found much use for them beyond that. I'll leave that stuff to you Southern boys.

First time I was exposed to them I thought they were cream of wheat I put butter, milk and sugar on them. The first bite I thought I had a mouth full off sand.

What the hell is a grit

Girls Raised In The South!!

GRITS!

I know you have a use for that in WY Keith!!

Sam--those are perfect!!

Grits and cooked okra make great compost!

After cooking, what does one do with them?

Is it southern oatmeal?

I grew up on grits cooked slow over low heat and served plain. My favorite way to have grits is the way my sister prepares them with stewed tomatoes and bacon or ham including the drippings. Absolutely delicious.

I am going to make a pot of cheese grits in the morning. Local made smoked pork sausage on the side. Couple of fried eggs. Coffee, fresh OJ.
I love breakfast in the South.

How do you grow a grit? Is it a plant,or a seed or does it grow on a tree
Or maybe it's ground up gravel
