Instant grits are horrid. Old-fashioned grits are love in a bowl. I
don't think I've ever tried the three minute kind.

My husband grew up hating grits. He tried a bite of my grits out of
politeness and he couldn't believe that he liked them. "What do you
do to make your grits so good?" Nothing special -- I follow the
directions on the back on the package, adding a big spoonful of salt
to the water. I finally figured out that his mom make instant
grits. No wonder he never liked them. I make the old-fashioned kind.
It is no extra work, just a little extra hands-off cooking time.
