All About Flint and Flour Corn (and Instant Pot Polenta)

A deep dive into the world of flint and flour corns. A staple on this homestead and well worth growing.
Instant Pot Polenta
4 cups water or broth of choice
1 cup polenta corn
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
Bring all ingredients but corn to a boil on the saute feature of your instant pot. Then whisk in the cornmeal slowly so that no lumps form. Switch over to pressure cook function. Set timer for 8 minutes, then natural pressure release (ie let cool on its own) for 15 minutes before releasing any remaining pressure and stirring. Stores well in the fridge for a week and reheats beautifully.

I started my own cooking channel. I just found your video while doing some research. I loved the video; it was very informative. I subscribed and am excited for future videos.

😂 I have a large ancient dog in need of a claw trimming. We have hardwood throughout the house so we hear it a lot
