1 cup corn meal (½ cup coarse, ½ cup fine)
4 cups water
1 tsp. salt
2 tbl. butter
Stir all ingredients together in the rice cooker. Close the lid and press the button. Stir it a couple times to make sure it's not too clumpy, and let it sit on "keep warm" for a while after the cooking cycle finishes.

Rice Cooker Polenta
I wanted to make polenta tonight, but after I read recipes in a couple different cookbooks that involved stirring for 30-60 minutes, and thought there might be an easier way. The Joy of Cooking recipe steams in a double boiler, so it occurred to me that a rice cooker might work. It turns out that it wasn't an original thought, plenty of others have done it. I adapted some of the recipes I saw and came up with this. It worked out pretty well, but could use some more flavor. Parmesan would be the easy thing to add at the end.

Ah, but what did you *do* with the polenta when you were done with it? That's the question!
