    I learned this from a caregiver of a patient of mine. I commented that I didn’t like grits and she asked me if I washed them? I told her I had never heard of that. She proceeded to give me a hands-on cooking lesson on grits and I’ve loved them ever since. It makes all the difference in the world!!! 🌽 ❤️

      @@angiecarter8979 Well, and this is just for one example, consider many pesticides and fungicides need to remain on the crop in order to be effective, so chemicals are used to make them stick, otherwise they would rinse off in rain or overhead irrigation. This is why they use chemicals to help the pesticides stick. When rinsing the food, only water soluble chemicals would have a chance of being washed away. But, you won't find much water soluble chemicals because they aren't practical for them to be used. Washing rarely hurts (washing raw meats spreads bacteria that would already be killed when cooking, so it's better not to rinse it), but to break chemical bonds that may be keeping something on your food is not often as simple as washing in water, which I believe is what @jtampasaint was saying.

I've been washing my grits for over 30 years thanks to my precious mother-in-law. It really makes a difference in the texture, plus I just like the satisfaction of having cleaned them as much as possible before cooking them.

    Yes ma’am! I always rinse my rice, beans, grits, etc before cooking. And I freeze any cornmeal or flour at minimum overnight when I first get it. I do like to add half water/half milk or cream and loads of butter into my grits (just like my Daddy did). Then I just let them cook low and slow…my Daddy always used to tell me longer when I’d try to take them off the stove! The longer they cook down the creamier they get. So delicious with over medium fried eggs mixed into them. There is no better breakfast!

Now taking about those nasty hands. I started thinking about the folks in the restaurant they are not washing them, nasty hands and even if they wash them they use their hands to sample and taste the food. you use spoons but they are not on camera so they’re not doing that so that’s why it’s important to fix your food and eat at home.

    Well I’ll be! My Mama never washed hers, so I didn’t. I’ll never cook grits again though without washing them. I saw the water getting clearer and clearer as you washed the grits. That is important, as well as getting most of the black things out. Thank you so much for that. I’m 70 and just learned a new trick! I loved hearing you say, “Wash your hands!” My Dad never let me enter the kitchen without asking, “Did you wash your hands?” He did it so much, it was like a joke. I would never enter the kitchen without doing that. My pet peeve is not changing out the hand towels. They must be changed out every day. If they are used a lot, twice a day. Some people never change them out but every few days. That is nasty. It’s the same with the dish cloth. Get a new one every day, and don’t let it stay in the bottom of the sink either. Anyway, I loved you saying to wash your hands, and the Dudes were adorable.

    Washing rice washes out vitamins, perhaps on grits too. I never heard of this. I cook my grits with a splash of milk too.

    You know what? I have always cleaned my grits, the process was passed down by my Great Grandmother to the ladies in my family.. never ever seen this done till i ran across your YT.. I cant eat grits outside my home due to the black specks in them.. Good to know I'm not the only one extra conscious about cleaning "EVERYTHING "🤣..
    Thank you and God Bless

    I'm 65 and have been washing my grits since I was 10 years old. I start just like you. Wash, add cold water, boil and skim the top. Then turn down the heat stir in salt, BUTTER. I also like pepper. They never come out lumpy and there's less starch. Better for you too. Do the same with rice.

    Growing up our parents never washed grits and they were always delicious! But this generation everything Foods,etc is not like it use to be back in the day in the year 70s and before , But for me as if today year 2000, yes I have to wash those grits. I have to wash my grits like 5 or 6 times or more until I am content and try to pick out as much specks as I can. And I cook my grits about 45 minutes to an hour, because I use Old Fashion Quaker Grits. And I like them creamy medium, meaning not watery and not dry, but creamy😁👍💕💕💕💕

She had a stroke a year ago now and I now cook for my 70yr old Mom because she can't do it any longer for herself due to the stroke affecting her right side of body.... But I just love doing it so much for her, my parents took great care of me so Im all here for it and taking care of them is a blessing💯💯❤️👍!! But I can't wait to show my Mom that I'm washing the grit's😉👏!! I Only like salt and butter in my grit's I also put just a dusting of onion powder in my salted water as it is boiling.... not heavy at all... it really sets them grit's off💯💯!! And when people eat them they say it's so delicious and they can't figure out why it taste so much better than theirs!! 🤭I be like well you need to learn how to cook your grit's lol

    Lady Donna, you are SO right! Never understand how people can use the bathroom, then leave without washing their hands.
    Anyhoo... I "wash" my grits, too. I don't measure them (I just "eyeball" them), but I do wash them. I don't like those specks. When my momma taught me to fix them, the goal was to avoid getting popped by them while they were boiling. She didn't turn them down by much at all! 😂 She cooked them with the lid off to avoid their running over.

    • @BeautifulTooCreationsWithDonna
      @BeautifulTooCreationsWithDonna  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Never washed grits but I'll try it. I boil the water 1st. Then add grits slowly while stirring. Turn them down and add butter when almost done. Cook for 25-30 mins stirring occasionally. Comes out creamy and delicious. 😋

    Did you know the dish originated with the Native American Muscogee tribe using a corn similar to hominy. American colonists learned to make the dish from the Native Americans, and it quickly became an American staple. At that time, the hominy for grits was ground on a stone mill. Thanks to Native Americans.
    Now to your recipe. After rinsing grits, add them to a rolling pot of water with butter, a splash of milk, and chicken broth and then stir them. For every cup of grits you need two cups water. If the water isn't really hot or rolling and you're stirring them as you add to the water the grits will clump together as the simmer. It's my personal preference on the sweet no salt butter, milk and chicken broth to add flavor. Even if you use just salt please taste the water! My Southern parents simmered "harmony grits" for at least 45 minutes to get the grains plump and stir it in carefully as they added them into the water just to make sure the ratio water to grits matched if more water or grits was need it was added before covering with a lid. Nobody wants grainy , lumpy grits! You want them creamy. The black specks come from the husk of the corn process at the mill. It ain't going to hurt you. Have any o f yopu ever cracked an whole egg into the simmering grits 3 minutes before it was done? As Gomer Pyle would say, "surprise, surprise, surprise!" BTW, I get it about washing hands, but you don't have to hammer nails in a persons coffin if they forget. Love your channel.
