How long does it take to cook and can they be done in a microwave?

I cook them on low for 4 hours but you can do it in 30 minutes. I add a pinch of baking soda to break down the hard out shell of the grits. then add parmesan cheese ( 1/4 cup) towards the end. the yellow grits are better than the white grits. they stick so stir often and regularly and they will still stick.... price you pay for this delicacy.

No they can not be microwaved, on the cooking end, it takes about 20 to 25 minutes. And it depends upon your location higher alt will take longer.

No decent cook would make quality grits in a microwave. They take about twenty minutes to come to life. If you use the shrimp and grits recipe on the bag, you use chicken broth and cream. I substitute fat free half and half. Add a bit more broth because the half and half make the grits too thick. Add the cheese or not. The grits will be heaven. Hope this helps.

These are not quick-cooking grits, so I would not try to make them in the microwave. Cook them on top of the stove and it's about 40-45 minutes. I like to make these grits in the slow-cooker. It's really easy and you don't need to stand over them and stir and there's no risk of boil-overs. You can set the grits in the slow-cooker on low overnight and they will be ready to eat for breakfast. Here is a recipe I've used: http://www.cheaterchef.com/stone-ground-grits/ We've also to put the grits in the slow-cooker on high early in the morning and let them cook for a couple of hours while we get the rest of a brunch ready. We like to use these grits for Shrimp and Grits. This is the recipe we usually use for shrimp and grits. We like it because it seems the most like the shrimp and grits we've had in Charleston. http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Shrimp-and-Grits-1000070097

This is what's on the box I have. "Microwave Instructions: Thoroughly mix milk and cream with crme brle mix in a microwave safe 2 qt. bowl. Cook covered on high for 3 minutes. Stir, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Follow directions above to complete." Hope this helps.

Yes, I've used them in the microwave multiple times. However, I would recommend keeping an eye on them just in case, and don't put them in for a really long time. A minute to two minutes or so is fine.

We have an 1800 watt Microwave and we cook them for 2 minutes....with an 1100 watt you might want to try 2:30 or 3:00

You could but I'm not sure I would. I'm not sure how long it takes to cook corn in the microwave, if its like 13 minutes you should be alright.

you can also "bake" a potato in the microwave. Wash your potato, put a 1" slit in the middle, and microwave at 100% power for 8 to 15 minutes depending on size. A large russet takes about 12-15 minutes.

you add about 2 tbs of water and cook about 2 min then check to see if done ..might be a little longer all microwaves are different temps..hope this helps

I have only used them in a regular oven, in which they work wonderfully. I don't think they are designed for a Microwave.

I am not sure but they would get very hot and I wouldn't chance it. Maybe go directly to their website for confirmation? They do heat up in the microwave.

I usually microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds with that size. As the pack gets older, I increase the time a bit. The most I've ever used was 2 minutes, but that was with a really old one.

Sorry my first response was incorrect. The gel pack does say it can be microwaved for a minute. I would hesitate to do that but it says it can be done.

It depends on how efficient your microwave is--but the recommended time as I recall is 90 seconds. I usually heat mine for 2 full minutes because 90 seconds isn't quite enough.

No. You can put them in the bag and set your microwave for the automatic "COOK POTATO" cycle and it will come out fine. The 4 minutes is not true, even with the bag it will take about 10 minutes

I haven't tried to microwave anything in them yet. But they are gorgeous and nice sizes! Sorry I couldn't be more help!

It depends on the microwave power:600-700 watts 8 mins.700-750 watts 7 mins.800-850 watts 6 mins.900-1000 watts 5 mins.1100-1200 watts 4 mins.1300-1500 watts 2 1/2 mins.Do not exceed the times.

Here are the microwave directions: for a single serving, combine water, salt, and grits in medium microwave-safe bowl; cover. Microwave on high power for 3-5 minutes or until thickened (stirring halfway through cooking time).I prefer to cook on an induction burner for just about the same length of time, because it's easier to watch the pot to keep it from boiling over.
