• Put it in a 350 degree oven.

"NO-STIR" POLENTA

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan bring water and salt to a boil and gradually whisk in cornmeal in a thin stream. Cook polenta over moderately low heat, stirring, 2 minutes and cover pan. Cook polenta, covered, stirring for 1 minute after every 10 minutes of cooking, 45 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cover to keep warm. Stir polenta just before using. Polenta will keep warm, covered, about 20 minutes.

NO-STIR POLENTA

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a large, heavy pot.
• Add the salt; then add the cornmeal in a very thin stream, letting it run through a closed fist. Stir constantly with a whisk while adding.
• When all the cornmeal has been added, stir with a wooden spoon 2 minutes, and then cover pot. Adjust heat so the water is at a lively simmer. After 10 minutes, stir 1 minute; then cover pot again. Repeat three more times. Let polenta cook 5 minutes longer, for a total of 45 minutes.
• Stir vigorously for another minute. Transfer to a moistened bowl (rinsed but not dried), and let polenta rest 10 to 15 minutes. Unmold onto a platter and serve at once, or let it cool to use in other recipes.

SUN OVEN NO STIR POLENTA

Steps:

• Set Global Sun Oven out to preheat. Bring the water to boil in a dark, light-weight, lidded pot. Add the salt. Add the polenta in a very thin stream, keeping the water boiling and stirring with a whisk the entire time. When you have put in all the polenta, stir with a long-handled wooden spoon for 2 minutes; cover the pot and place in the Sun Oven until all the water has been absorbed, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If serving immediately: Spray a large metal bowl with cooking spray. Turn the cooked polenta out of the pot and into the bowl. Let it sit for 10 t0 15 minutes, turn the bowl over onto a large round platter. It goes well with any stewed, braised, or roasted meat. If cooling for later use: Spray a 9-by 13-inch baking pan. Turn the cooked polenta out of the pot and into the pan. Let it cool at room temperature, and then turn the pan over onto cutting board. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
