- 2 cups hot water
- 6 tablespoons grits
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
- Butter, cheese, bacon, or brown sugar for toppings
Required Kitchen Tools
Having the right tools makes cooking grits in the microwave so much easier and safer. Here's what I always keep handy:
- Microwave-safe bowl: Deep enough to prevent splatters while cooking.
- Wooden spoon or silicone spatula: Perfect for stirring without scratching the bowl.
- Measuring cups and spoons: For a precise grits-to-water ratio.
- Microwave oven: Obviously essential! A reliable microwave ensures even cooking.
