- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the grits, make sure to use a large enough pan so that the grits can spread out and cook evenly.
- Cook the grits over low heat: This will help to prevent the grits from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Stir the grits frequently: This will help to keep the grits from clumping together and ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the grits to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of butter or cream for a richer flavor.
- Serve the grits immediately: Grits are best served hot and fresh. You can top them with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, or eggs.
