Description

Grits are a classic Southern dish made from ground corn, typically served as a breakfast or side dish. While traditionally cooked on the stovetop, using a rice cooker is a convenient and foolproof way to make perfect grits every time. This recipe is simple, straightforward, and yields creamy, delicious grits that are perfect for any meal of the day.

Prep Time

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Measure 1 cup of grits and rinse thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any debris or dust.

  10. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use any kind of grits for this recipe, but we recommend stone-ground grits for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you want to add extra flavor to your grits, try stirring in some cheese, bacon, or herbs before serving.
  • If your rice cooker doesn't have a "porridge" or "white rice" setting, just use the regular "cook" setting and check the grits periodically to ensure they don't overcook or dry out.
