Sous Vide Buttery Grits

Any Southerner knows that the best grits are cooked low and slow. This technique presents a problem when you’re cooking on a stovetop because, if you’re not stirring constantly, the grits stick to the bottom of the pot and scorch. Cooking grits in the Anova Sous Vide Precision cooker eliminates the problem, yielding soft, creamy grits with almost zero effort.
