My cousins got frozen Porto’s last holiday and it worked out great. They entertain a lot and I was thinking of gifting them more this year.

I think it’s a great gift. Easy and tasty. Maybe just not a great gift if you live 5 mins from a Porto’s.

Anson Mills grits should be in the freezer. Supermarket grits don’t go rancid as fast. I’m not sure if that’s because they remove the germ or put some antioxidant in the packaging or both.

I don’t think I have Anson Mills anyway. I think it’s Bob Mills. Lol.

Bob’s Red Mill! 
When I finish I’ll buy Anson. Just looked at the website. I’ve seen y’all post about them but had no idea they sold so many different kinds of grits, polenta, rice and other products!

I have two bags of the same . It’s real soft and creamy for polenta. I cook around 50 minutes. Sometimes a little more Four to one water to Maybe have to add some water while cooking .Always starting in cold water . Cook on medium low with a small bubble. Stir occasionally. Add butter and parmesan or not . I like my polenta sort of runny .

I like it sorta runny too. I think it depends. If it’s being served under shrimp & sauce then sturdier. I also like firm cheesy polenta squares - they’re great topped with black beans.

Agree . You just look at it and say it’s done .

Bob’s is a quality product but Anson has some special cultivars. Try the rustic polenta integrale (there’s a fair chance you’ve had it in a restaurant).

Thank you. I was looking at the list and trying to figure what to get!
A tip if you don’t already do it - as a good roux takes a long time with constant attention I make a double or triple batch and freeze the extra. Works perfectly.
Lovely dish!
