instructions not clear. ended up growing my own corn field.

I'm from Denmark and after watching this, I still don't know what grits is.

I'm from North Carolina but living 10 years in Indonesia. I found coarse ground yellow corn in the traditional market that made a nice polenta but not the same as grits as it's too coarse. An Indonesian friend asked about making mozzarella corn dogs but we only have corn starch not corn meal here. So I tried using the dry ingredient blender attachment on my blender and then sifted out the corn meal and the remainder is the perfect consistency for grits. They say a country boy can survive and I think I have proven that statement as not only will I be eating grits for breakfast but I'll be able make corn bread too.

I visited north Florida recently from the UK and had plain grits for breakfast. It was so simple, subtle, easy to eat and filled a hole. I could easily eat that every day. A simple pleasure.

so, 4 cups of boiling water, and *all* the grits. Thanks, I was wondering what to do with this 50kg bag.

I just had bacon, eggs, and grits for breakfast this morning. I am homebound because of a foot injury, but I can still get into the kitchen. The bacon was from Andre's Meats in Earl, Berks County, PA and the eggs were from a local farmer. They were cooked in a Lodge 10" cast iron skillet. I have a few sources for original grits and usually buy 10 pounds at a time. While the grits are cooking, I cook the bacon and eggs.

Use whole milk instead of water, the grits will have a richer taste.

i cant believe that so many people commented on a 1 munute video about grits and r arguing about it

Just about every region in the South has their own "best way" to make grits, and sometimes different regions of individual states will have disagreements with strongly held opinions. Personally, having had opportunity to sample most, I have to give hats off to the Delta region. From New Orleans up to Memphis, those are the best grits. Some parts of Texas also use the Delta formula. If you want to start an argument in the South, talk about the best way to make grits. Even better, talk about the Southern way to make Chicken and Dumplings; you're sure to get some heated arguments. Interesting that you can find grits in restaurants all across the South, but Chicken and Dumplings, a common Southern family favorite, is a bit more rare in the restaurants. (By the way, I know how my mother made Chicken and Dumplings in the true, authentic, Southern fashion, but regrettably, it's a closely held family secret.) As far as Southern cooking goes, the east coast Southern states seem to make the best spoon bread. I've had bad spoon bread almost everywhere except North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The trick has to do with exploiting the full absorptive power of the cornmeal. This is done is various ways; my preferred method uses a double boiler to achieve the perfect level of a absorption before things are even put in the oven. Now, we shouldn't get into a discussion of cornbread. I will only say that if you put flour in your cornbread, it isn't a traditional Southern cornbread. These days, that means that many, many Southern cooks have lost sight of the traditional way. My Grandma would put would put a look of total revulsion on her face at the very thought of four in cornbread. She also said that her mother's wood-burning stove made the best cornbread. I never complained about what she was able to achieve in a modern electric oven, though.

Thank you! Kept finding videos where people did their own original recipe for grits or used INSTANT 5 minute grits. I wanted the base of grits. The original. Thank you.

I use chicken stock and half and half....equal to four parts water. It really tastes good

So basically grits are like porridge made from corn?

This is perfect, a simple recipe to cook the grits. I can elaborate on it if I want, but this is the basic how-to-cook-em. When camping, I don't have milk, butter or several other nice additives. But I can follow these simple instructions. I was given a BIG sack of grits, and now I can start getting into them. Thanks!

4 cups of water. How much grits? That is the real question not answered here.

Oooh, so it's CORN! Aussie here w' no idea what grits were (USA friend loves it tho), finally found out. Thx

me love some grits!

I made the same thing and it was so good

I make cheese grits casserole every week using Bob's Red Mill Grits/Polenta, both white and yellow. Delicious stuff.

A Brit here, I've heard of Grits before but never knew what they were...we certainly don't have anything like it over here, but I'm curious to try them! Hopefully when I visit Charleston/Atlanta this August!

My grandmother worked at the cooking school for 40 years in Birmingham

i frigging love grits expeically with some fish !!

Ahhh....put the lid on while simmering to cut time in half! What a game changer to make corn mush!!!!

That guy was adorbs!!

Thank You so much it really help me with my Breakfast

I love GRITS

NO MILK, NO FLAVOR, SALT AFTERWARDS? 2OMINS? THIS IS HILARIOUS 😂😂😂

Grits are awesome. You can find it everywhere.

Yum.

I would add just a little bit of butter to the boiling water so that the grits do not stick too much.

I do this with semolina, its done in under 5 mins. Also, no butter, I used cinnamon and sugar

Interesting

I like my grits with butter salt and pepper.. tastes like corn on the cob

Me, an Australian: I'm going to KZfaq what grits are This video: "were going to cook grits. Cooked grits is made from uncooked grits. What we will need is water, and the grits. Boil the water and add all of your grits" Me: yahuh, huh, yahuh

I add a scramble egg to mine - makes them richer and creamier

I just watched my cousin vinny. now I want grits.

wheres joe pesci when you want him to take a look at the menu lol

Yummy grits even I don’t like grits that much

I love how the only thing accurately measured is the water. Everything else is just like "nah, that's not important." Enjoy your watery grits, y'all!

From the south and I've yet to ever make grits. Maybe that'll change today.

Them good grits

I am willing to do a grits cook off with any one. I have perfected the art of gourmet grits and there is not any one alive that can touch me.

This receipe is like making a video on how to make toast.

Spice Adams brought me here.

use milk instead of water, and change the grits for oats, change de salt for sugar and then you can have Scottish Porridge

We can't get grits in australia. It looks great i wish we could.

I am from Taber Alberta Canada running what is the best way to cook grits what is grits

ditto below, still no idea what grits are and that is the reason I switched on, also 4 cups of water and bring to boil, would you not cut the time down drastically if you boiled the water in the kettle first and then brought back to the boil?

I am from the UK and I have never heard of gritts before??

Well...that was easy.

Hi there, like the video, you said 4 cups of water how many cups of grits?

I was reading a book and she always ate grits I had no idea what it was but I kinda guessed it was a sort of bacon or sausage, I was way off 😂

Came here after watching My Cousin Vinny movie 😊

hi, what is the water to grits ratio? 1:1.5? 2:1?

Can you tell me what grits is, I want to try this but I don’t know what to buy. Many thanks. 🇬🇧

I heard “4 cups of water” but don’t recall where he said how much grits. I’m guessing one cup? Hmm

Covering the grits is not a gamechanger, dude. My family has been doing that for 50 years.

Thank you Sir. What about spicing it up... any suitable spice in addition to the salt?

Sadly I have never seen grits before either. Just read about them. In Canada we do have cornmeal.

your sure belt that 5 minutes

I wonder if this is the same as "gris" that we eat in my country. We sprinkle some BenQuick (or Nesquick) and cinnamon on top.

My grandma always soaked her grits overnight before cooking...

wow! you missed a very basic point. how much grits do you add?

Should we nixtamalize our corn before we make grits or cornmeal or is this only to make corn tortillas?

How much grits? The whole bag? Get it together! Btw I'm from AL, I know how to cook grits.

western congee :D

4 cups of water to what quantity of grits?

I add the salt up front.

How much grits per the 4 cups of water you recommend

NEVER, NEVER use water. Use chicken broth, half and half and cook low and slow. No lid. Add liquid as needed. Salt, pepper, cheese, cream cheese added makes for a tasty plate. Or make a gravy with tomatoes.

Poeple in Mexico have been making grits for thousounds of years.

The best grits I ever ate had milk in the recipe.

Add me to the list of annoyed viewers. The commercial we have to wait through in its entirety takes nearly as long as this brief recipe. And it's a dish, not a "product." Never mind, I'll ask someone's granny.

ucio witagwa ucuru mani!!!!

Folks, bad advice here... water has no flavor; don't use it. Use half Chicken Stock and half Milk. Your Grits will be creamy smooth and full of flavor.

Were those MAGIC GRITS?! Did you buy it from the guy who sold Jack is Beanstalk Beans?! 😂😂

"....but all my chicks cook grits, and roll a spliff, at the same damn time...you haven't lived long enough, to have a bitch this fine.." - Paak

There has to be at least another person wanting to know what Grits is because of the movie Shaft from Netflix.

How much grits in 4 cups of water?

Do you wash the corn before cooking, looked like a lot of husks on top of water . Thanks

All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all of Brands of Grits Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏

Savory oatmeal

You need 1 cup of grits. I have no ide as why he didn't include that in the video. I assume that he thought we already knew. Probably got distracted about the give us a tip about covering the pot to reduce cooking time. Although I could be wrong.

With salt ? Am eating that with sugar
