== Directions ==
# Lightly coat 10¾ x 7-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
# In large saucepan, combine water and salt.
# Bring to a boil.

# Spread cornmeal into prepared baking pan.
# Set aside until cool and firm, at least 30 minutes or overnight.
# Invert cornmeal cake onto work surface, and cut into 6 squares.
