To prepare, bring water or milk to a boil in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in the grits to prevent lumps. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits reach your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5 minutes. For microwave preparation, combine grits and liquid in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for the recommended time, stirring halfway through. Adjust liquid for a thinner or thicker texture.

Quick grits are processed differently than traditional stone-ground grits. This processing allows them to cook much faster, typically in about 5 minutes, whereas traditional grits can take 30 minutes or more. The texture can be slightly smoother than coarser varieties.
