Polenta as the Italians make is made to an porridge-like consistency... |
117,751 | How long does polenta take to cook? I never made one before. Chefs on YouTube always make it in like 10 minute tops. But people online have written that it takes like 40 minutes with constant stirring. Which one is correct? Also, once the polenta has gotten cold, how can I heat it again? | 2021/11/06 | [
