3. Turn the heat to low and cook until it's smooth and no longer grainy (30-35 minutes). Be sure to stir often so that the bottom doesn't burn.

There's no way a full tablespoon of salt is required for one cup of polenta. I just tried this recipe and it tastes like a salt lick. Next time I try this I'll start with a teaspoon of salt.
