Make Your Day Easier With Instant Pot Grits

Gather the ingredients. Diana Rattray Add the grits to a soufflé dish, 7- by-3-inch baking pan, or a similar heat-proof bowl or baking dish. Add 2 cups of cold water, the kosher salt, and 1 cup of milk or half-and-half. Diana Rattray Add 3/4 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Place the pan of grits in a baking sling trivet and lower them into the pot. Alternatively, place a trivet in the pot and fashion a baking sling with foil (see the tips below). Diana Rattray Lock the lid in place and turn the steam release valve to the sealing position. Choose the pressure cook or manual button and set the time for 30 minutes. Diana Rattray When the time is up, wait 10 minutes and then carefully turn the steam release valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure. Diana Rattray Carefully lift the grits out of the pot and whisk until they are well blended. Whisk in the butter, as desired. They will thicken more as they cool. Diana Rattray Serve the grits in a bowl along with a big breakfast or serve them as a rice replacement with seafood, meat, or poultry. Diana Rattray Enjoy!
