How much water does it take to cook a 5 lb bag of grits?

To cook a 5-pound bag of grits, you typically need about 5 to 6 quarts (or 4.7 to 5.7 liters) of water. The general ratio is about 4 cups of water for every 1 cup of grits, so adjust according to the specific cooking instructions on the bag. It’s important to check the package for any specific recommendations, as different types of grits may require slightly different amounts of water.
