== Directions ==
# Set the water to boil. 
# When the water is boiling, add the salt and a little of the cornmeal.

# Mix it briefly and then let it boil at low temperature for about half an hour. 
# Then, with a wooden spoon start mixing vigorously. 
# If the polenta seems soft, add a little bit more corn meal. 
# Mix continuously. To test if the polenta is done, hold the wooden spoon straight. 
# Rotate it fast between your palms and then try to pull it out. 
# If it comes out clean, the polenta is done. 
# If not, let the polenta boil a little longer. 
# Then you wet a wooden spoon in water and gather the polenta to the center. 
# Let it boil a few more minutes and then shake the pot a few times and turn over the hot polenta on a wooden cutting board (not recommended to pour on a plate). 
# Let it set for a few minutes and then cut it with a clean string.
