How 2 cups of polenta works out

If you have no scales, 2 cups is 32 level tablespoons of polenta (96 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 338 g.
Tip: Whisk polenta into the liquid gradually and stir often to prevent lumps; let cooked polenta rest if you want to slice and grill it.
