Question 1

Can I use regular or stone-ground grits instead of quick-cooking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Regular and stone-ground grits take significantly longer to cook and will require more liquid; follow the package instructions and expect a longer simmer with occasional stirring until tender.

Question 2

How should I reheat grits from the freezer or refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

If frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring in a splash of water or broth to loosen. In the microwave, cover and heat in short bursts, stirring and adding liquid as needed.

Question 3

My grits are lumpy — how do I fix them?

Accepted Answer

Whisk in a little warm water or broth and heat gently while stirring to smooth them out. For a truly silky finish, pass the warmed grits through a fine-mesh sieve or blend briefly with an immersion blender.
