Thank you for sharing this recipe. I'm from New Zealand but my husband is African-American and his grandparents were originally from the South (grandma from Louisiana and grandfather from Georgia) but moved north to New York in the early 1960s due to "tensions" (as his grandma described it) in the South at the time. His grandma, having grown up in Louisiana would regularly cook dishes such as Jambalaya, Shrimp & Grits, baked catfish, etc whenever by husband and his brother would visit them as a kids. That said, sometimes as a special treat for my husband, I'd cook him these Southern dishes as they were his childhood foods, with shrimp & grits being his favourite breakfast foods growing up.
Thanks for the video! I always did the quick grits in the microwave, but I was looking for another way to make nice creamy grits. My 9 year old wants to learn how to make grits and this would make it more fun for him and It looks like they turn out much better!
Girl, by the end of this video, I was drooling!!! That looks delicious! Such a versatile food. I love it with a bit of butter and some good quality syrup. Or just like you fixed them here. Reminds me of when I was a kid! Thanks so much for the video! Cant wait to try it!
I miss grits! Living in Japan, there are some foods you just can not get -- or import -- and grits and homey are two... Well, I get eat vicariously through your channel. 😁
Oh wow, I don't know what I would do without my grits.. 🤣🤣 I heard that Japan has better food then the US. Our foods are packed with so many hormones and and artificial flavors. Thanks for eating with me.
I purchased Quaker Oaks, Dixie-Lilly & Jim Dandy 5-minutes grits and had to cook them for over 1 1/2 hours (some as much at 3 hrs.) to soften. I have eaten grits all my life (74 YO) and the grits were always soften and ready to eat in 5 minutes. Why, for the last year or more, have 5 minutes grits taken so long to soften. On rare occasions a bag, from one of those manufacturers will be soft after cooking for 5 minutes, that is not the norm. Have tried to reaching out to the manufacturers to no avail. Additionally how can they advertise their grits as 5- minute grits when they, in my opinion, are not?
Hey sis my wife made grits the other day and it was like sand in our mouth. we thought it had gone bad and tossed the rest in the container, but we most likely made it wrong. THANK YOU for this vid it explained grits cooking very good.

Love the plates . I just got the instant Quaker ones in the U.K. my partner is American and likes them , god knows what he will think of the instant ones I hope they turn out ok .
Thank you Luv! 😁🤣 I'm sure your partner is going to love them. They taste the same to me. I absolutely lover grits. Check out th-cam.com/video/5ORS9lfvRWI/w-d-xo.html grits by Heaven Made Products they have some delicious Southern Style and Jambalaya grits.
I’m really confused about the amount of salt I’m supposed add. First you said to add a teaspoon of salt, then I heard you say that I don’t need all that salt, so I saw you add about a half teaspoon. THEN you said use 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. THEN you said 1/4 teaspoon of salt! WHICH IS IT?? I played that part about the salt amount over and over again, to make sure I didn’t miss anything. But I get the same confusing info every time. WHAT AM I MISSING?
Add the salt to your own liking. People taste buds are different. I used 1/4 teaspoon of salt. I never use a full teaspoon for a small Pot for 1-2 servings. If your making a medium size pot that serves 3-4 people I would recommend using a full teaspoon. It is okay to add salt to your bowl instead of the pot so you can taste it as you add the salt.
I'm really confused you guys ( Quaker ) hasn't mentioned anything about Quaker Oats Grits and I find that odd conciding your grits are the No1# product that most African Americans buy. All I'm asking is why aren't the grits in your commercial???
Wait!🤦🏽♀️ shouldn’t you wait for the water to boil? If they’re QUICK grits why do you stir so much? I’m confused. How long did you cook yours? Ok nice job. I’m sticking to OLD FASHIONED GRITS.
You can cook grits anyway you want. I add my grits before boiling the water because even though these are instant grits they do not become creamy in 5 minutes! They are still hard. I stir my grits to keep them from sticking to the pan and to be sure they are creamy not undercooked and hard to chew. I don’t know about you but I like my grits cooked right or I won’t eat them.

You nailed it that's exactly how I like my grits and with the pepper.
Thank you Steve! The pepper really makes the grits to me.

I noticed that the old fashioned grits magically turned into quick grits.
Thanks
To quote my cousin Vinny.
No self respecting Southern uses quick grits!
Just being sassy...
Well done❤️❤️💯
I am going to use General Mill Quick Grits. Any opinion on that?

You can alway wait till they are done to add salt
If you want good creamy grits... use milk instead of water, set the fire on low and slow and cook for 25 minutes ❤
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching 🥰
I’m make grit and egg burrito cut up some bacon and pork roll put it in burrito good break fast
Oh that sounds so delicious

I used 1 cup of grits.
I think my grits are perfect but my family doesn’t
🥰🥰 Forget them! If it taste good to you the n they perfect.... period!! What do you put in your grits?

I just bought grits but I'm going to boil my water first.. This is my first time making them 😁
We're your Grits gritty at all?
No. They were creamy with a thick texture.
@@Christinesworldspice Great, I think you've solved my grits problem!
Your kinda confusing about the salt.
Sorry about that. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Quaker Oat Grits?
huh?? Did I say that? Put the time stamp. 😂🤣
@@Christinesworldspice ...I am going to use General Mill Quick Grits. Any opinion on that?
Does this come with 21st century testicles poisening?
You sure about those five minutes?
No it’s 10 minutes
@@Christinesworldspice Do the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove?
It is not possible to properly cook old fashioned grits in five minutes.
Right
no self-respecting southerners around these parts :-(
