How do I cook Roland Foods fine yellow polenta quickly and without lumps?

Bring lightly salted water to a boil, then gradually whisk in the polenta while stirring to prevent clumping. Simmer and stir for about 6–8 minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency, then finish with butter, oil, or cheese if desired.

• Ratio: ~4 cups water to 1 cup polenta for creamy texture.
• Method: Pour polenta slowly into boiling water while stirring continuously.
• Finish: Allow to rest a minute off heat for full thickening.
