Polenta (cooked, set diced)

Polenta is a porridge made from coarsely ground cornmeal, cooked slowly in water or stock until thick and creamy, a staple of Northern Italian cooking. It is served soft and spoonable, or cooled, sliced, and fried or grilled for a firmer, crisp-edged preparation. Its texture depends on the coarseness of the cornmeal grind and how long it is cooked.

Cooking typically changes an ingredient's water content and structure, so a cooked measurement is not interchangeable with the same ingredient raw.
