Notes
- What kind of rice should I use for risotto? Carnaroli is the best rice to use, but isn't as easily found. I use arborio rice as it is easy to find, and does the job well!
- Other kinds of rice can be used, but you won't get the same texture. Arborio rice will get you a more compact risotto, that is lovely and sticky!
- Can I use wine in this recipe? Yes! Instead of adding the stock right away, pour in 1/3 cup of dry white wine (pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc is my favorite. Allow to absorb, add the stock (reduced by 1/3 cup) and continue as instructed in the recipe.
- Can I add mushrooms? Absolutely. Saute them in butter, and set them aside to fold in after cooking (they'll fall apart in the instant pot). You'll like my Mushroom Risotto (made on the stove) too.
- INSTANT POT COOKING TERMS EXPLAINED
- What is Natural Pressure Release - aka NPR? A natural pressure release happens when the cooking time is over and the valve is left closed. The pressure decreases without doing anything. Your Instant Pot will automatically switch to the Keep Warm setting. As soon as it switches to Keep Warm the pressure will begin to drop and will release the pressure by itself. You’ll know it’s done when the pin drops!
- What is Quick Release? Quick Release: this means to let the Instant Pot release pressure naturally for a few minutes. After the time has elapsed, switch the valve to “venting” to quickly release any remaining pressure. The pressure will release to a point where the pin drops, and you can open the lid.
