Crystal - In the class, she used ramekins as suggested in the tips. If you put it in a casserole dish, I would guess that you let it cool slightly, but not all the way, and then cut it into squares and serve. When she took the polenta out of the ramekins, it wasn't totally cooled, so it lost its shape, which I think she mumbled a little complaint about. I like my polenta warm, though. Kirk - Glad to hear the demi concentrates work well. I'll watch out for the saltiness. Thanks for the tip! Good Morning, Linda!!

A question about the polenta...once it's poured into the dish, did she recommend letting it cool and cutting it into squares, or is it just spooned out? I guess either would work, but I was just wondering whether it was very soft or a little firmer when you ate it! Hi Beth!

Those "demi" concentrates work very well, though I really messed up the first time I used it - came out really salty - they are very handy, unless you're into roasting bones and such! I love really "rare" or raw meat from reputable sources/restaurants - I usually will get my steaks Med-Rare - except at a top notch steak house, where I'll have it rare to blue.

I love your blog too. What a neat idea to use the grapes in the sauce.
