Quaker Original Quick 5 Minute Grits - 24oz

I just made some grits. Instant Quaker grits. I followed the directions and emptied the package into a 2 cup measuring cup, as fine 0.5 cups water and cooked for 1 minute in the microwave. They were not "smooth" so I cooked for another 30 seconds and stirred - still not cooked. I added more water and another 1 min micro... Still not creamy /smooth.

As a long time ,daily user of this products (decades) I am so disappointed. Lately my 5 minute grits have required double that cook time and producing off colored, clumpy, vinegar and oil type consistency. My cooking process including stove top and water has not changed so I'm thinking it is a recipe change. If so, please revert back to your old recipe or I will no longer be purchasing this product. So sad.

I don't know how others have been preparing these, but I find that they do NOT cook in the microwave. They stay hard unless you cook them on the stovetop for 15-20 minutes, and even then they never get a creamy texture. I am honestly not sure if it is even safe to eat them after merely microwaving, since the corn is raw (there is a warning about this on the package saying to thoroughly cook them).

I absolutely love grits regardless of cooking method. One question though. Would you consider a no-salt or reduced-salt version of the instant? Salt is a major issue for Americans with hypertension or kidney disease. And I do love the portion control with the instant packages.

I love grits. I usually get the quaker 5minute grits. I tried these out, the original flavor and they would be great but they are so salty. Its weird. I like sugar in my grits so it was a bizarre taste. If you like savory grits than they are perfect.

It was quick and easy to make and was absolutely delicious.

I've been eating the regular Quaker oats grits for a while now. But I thought I would just buy the instant to make breakfast a little faster. This stuff is got lots of added salt that I never put in mine when cooking the regular. I would not buy this again because the salt takes away from the grits itself

I love the convenience of Quaker grits. And they are delicious.

I always but Quaker 5 minute grits but this one time I purchased from Target the bottom of the 24 oz canister was busted on one side with grits coming out. Didn’t get to eat so I couldn’t give a review.

wanted to tell you that i make this instant grits for my husband who is blind and 89.. He grew up with southern style grits and does appreciate your product.. thank you for making his life so much easier..

I only eat the Cheddar Grits. I now can't find them outside a 22 count variety pack. I'm not saying for 17 packs I won't eat. Make Cheddar Grits available on their own, please and thank you

I usually purchase the grits on the left (in the round box). My store didn’t have them and I bought the package on the right. The cooking instructions are the same but the texture is so different. Should I use different cooking for the ones I just bought? I don’t even like the gritter texture from the paper package. May throw them out.

They're good flavor for instant. Definitely not homemade. Mostly because of how the production methods. But, personally I have been able to get rid of some of the gritiness(like the roughness). All I do is put it in my spice grinder, food processor or blender. I use at least half whole milk or half and half. And, put in all the traditional add-ons from my youth. It comes out more towards homemade. But, I still have to take into account that they are instant not homemade. I liken it to instant mashed potatoes.

Quaker had a food safety recall. I filed a claim and provided them a copy of my receipt for reimbursement. Six months later, after numerous contacts and repeated failed promises from them, I still have not been reimbursed. After recently contacting Quaker yet again about no one ever getting back to me after their last promise to escalate my case, they're now just ignoring me. It's inexecuseable to ever ignore your customers, especially someone like me whose been buying their products for decades, but to not reimburse and then ignore a customer to whom you sold food that had to be recalled proves beyond any doubt that the Quaker company has now completely lost all the sense of morality or integrity. To anyone reading this, ask yourself if that's the kind of company you want to do business with and if that's the brand of products you want to trust feeding yourself and your family.

My grits feel like little rocks in my mouth. Even after cooking them 15 to 20 minutes. Your grits are not like the grits I grew up on. What have you done to mess up your grits

They're called 5-minute grits, but they take an hour. Crap, FAKE-NEWS product.

My quick grits no longer cook up creamy good. They taste like sand is in them. It’s the consistency of valve grinding compound. We opened a new box this morning and it was worse than the last box. Help!! Please fix our grits!! We are 71 and have been using this product for years. My husband makes them the same every day He hasn’t changed but the grits have … what can we do?? Fix this please! It has been getting steadily worse the last couple years. This morning I chocked on them 😢

I have been scared of trying grits and this is my second time trying them and it's fantastic with butter and cheese this is delicious 5/5

We’ve loved these previously however this time it arrived falling out of the container because the lid fell into it even with the safety seal on? After submitting for a replacement I realized Target sent me a package with a best before date from last month. We’ll see how the replacement goes then might start looking for a new option since it’s not sold at our store anymore

This box had oil or something greasy all over it on the product also
