    My mother, the daughter of a Milanes mother,, always added all the cheese and butter at the end. She also made it with a little saffron, she called it Risotto a la parmesana. Sometimes she cooked it with dried mushrooms, it was delicious. It reminds me of my youth, I am now 75¡!,

    I received my Instant Pot Ultra 6 Qt 10-in-1 this evening, and made my first recipe…this risotto. It was fantastic! I'm going to be cooking nearly exclusively in the Instant Pot. Your recipe was simple and easy, but packed with flavor. I made a couple of minor errors given that it was my first time using, and I hadn't really read the instructions as thoroughly as I should have. I also altered the recipe a bit, adding a pound of baby bella mushrooms, used 2 cups of arborio, and 4 cups of chicken stock – I definitely added a bit too much broth because it came out a bit mushy. Still, my risotto tasted great, and I'm very please for a first time go! Thank you for sharing your recipe. Sill definitely make again.

    I've always had an issue with risotto. Your risotto was amazing…it was creamy and delicious. Now that I have a basic go to recipe I plan to experiment with different flavorings!.

    This is more of a pilaf than a risotto. Must use arborio rice to get the creaminess (and probably more parmesan after it is done). Will continue to use my own risotto recipes. And I am always successful without any wine, just flavorful broth, a little lemon juice for acid, and other add-ins (especially dried porcini mushrooms which don't need to be rehydrated first when doing in the pressure cooker and add great flavor).

    I followed your directions exactly and consistency-wise it turned out perfectly and couldn't have been easier to make. However, both my husband and I felt that it was very bland. I even added a touch more salt to my own portion but it didn't help. So, thumbs up for ease in preparation but thumbs down for taste. Sorry.

    Nice, but i thought thus was about how to use the IPOT, in this case for Risotto? All you say setting it on High. Why didn't you show step by step on how to set it on High? Some of us are looking to buy a pressure cooker and would like to know step by step.

    Hi. I love your videos. What is the difference between a Instant Pot, Rice Cooker, Pressure Cooker, and a Slow Cooker? Right now, I have one of those Rice Cookers that also acts as a slow cooker. Thanks 🙂

    I know a lot of cooks who rely on vermouth for when they don't have wine around… but vermouth is wine, just slightly fortified. I keep all vermouths in the fridge and use them up within a month or two, three at the very most.

    Watched all your Instant Pot videos – Loved them 🙂 I will be getting one for Christmas, so my request may be in the recipes included, but … I would love to see a video or 2 on combo meals such as roast & veggies; corned beef & cabbage. I assume it would be similar to my ancient pressure cooker – partial cook meat; release pressure, add veggies; pressure cook again – Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing your instant pot recipes. I got one a while back and I'm trying to expand on it. I've cooked rice using a risotto method but not true risotto. This looks amazing. I would have never imagined using vermouth. I can't wait to try it. You are awesome.
