Need help w/polenta!

[Vegan Princess]

I've tried cooking polenta twice now. Both times I bought the already made stuff in the roll and just sliced it and pan fried it in a couple TBSP of oil. Both times, a thin layer keeps coming off on the pan when I try to move or flip it. So it never gets crispy and a layer forms on the pan and starts to over cook. How can I avoid having the good crispy part come off on the pan? Thanks!

Hmm I have never had this problem... we use a good amount of oil... and also nonstick pans (bad, I know ) though I think DH has also done them on the cast-iron griddle pan and it didn't stick... maybe it's the brand? We usually get Food Merchants Organic brand...

ETA: We also keep it in the fridge before opening, do you keep it in the fridge or room temp?

I usually brush it with a little bit of olive oil and then put the slices under the broiler.

I like the broiler idea! I'm going to try that next time!
