I don't recall ever seeing that instruction, but I wouldn't anyway. There
is nothing on my cooked hominy that I don't want to eat. I sure don't want
to overcook it so that it doesn't have that nice tooth. I don't think I
have ever cooked it as long as you did. I eat it with things, usually,
rather than in things, but I don't think it would make a difference to me.
