Thank you for this video! I am trying my polenta in the IP right now. I used the Porrige bottom, 7 minutes at low pressure, will come back to tell you the result...
So, after the 7 minutes were finished, I let it stay without depressuring, like you said, and after 30 minutes the pressure was all gone. I waited almost another 30 minutes before opening the lid (so total of 1 hour after the cooking was over), and it was PERFECT!
PERFECT POLENTA with almost no effort at all! THANK YOU so much! This will be a staple in my home from now on. Much love from Italy. 😘

OMG !!! I just found your video last night. I have an IP-Duo (which doesn't have a "manual" button). I was just praying that I will be able to make polenta without the "burn" sign. So I followed everything you did and I set my IP to " Porridge" for 7 minutes. I slow released it and Im in polenta haven !!!! I added a teaspoon of vegan margarin to my plate which made it extra Smoot and creamy! Thank you so much for posting this video

Always wanted to try making polenta. Now I can make some in my own instant pot.

Jill, I’ve never had polenta until this morning. I grew up in the south and have eaten grits all my life. I’ve understood that grits and polenta are similar. I just used what I had, half water and half milk, a tad salt and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. What I ended up with was the creamiest, smoothest, tastiest bowl I ever had. I’ll definitely try your recipe next 🙂

Guys, I love it!! I love this video and I love the Instant Pot! That was easy and as you said Jill, you don't have to stand and stir all day. Enjoy!!

I have never tried polenta, but it looks like its worth a try 😁

[vickiey]

This looks so yummy. What do you serve it with?

Polenta Extravaganza! Yowza! 😘 Jean (PS: You look cute in your new apron!)

Is the natural release sufficient, or does the additional "let it sit for an hour" improve the end product?

UNFORTUNATELY THE POINT OF USING A INSTANT POT IS FOR FASTER COOKING BUT TO WAIT 1HR SEEMS TO DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THE INSTANT POT. BUT THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO, I'M SURE IT'S HELPFUL FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS TIME TO DEPRESSURIZE FOR AN HOUR. :)

Polenta=Corn meal mush, for us hillbillies! Seriously...the Instant Pot cooking method is nearly the same as Risotto and the result is fabulous...and don't forget to Stir after opening the lid! Thumbs Up, you..

[eezepeeze]

Can you give the measurements you used?

I bought a package of polenta once from the store, had no idea what to do with it so i tried to just slice it and fry it, it was sooo gross..never tried it since..lol

We followed the steps to the letter - It did not work at all for us... The Polenta got completely burned :(
