Your cameraman sure does have some spicy comments to get under your skin while cooking… Don’t bite the hand that feed you LOL
Risotto in a insta cooker?!?!?! THATS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!
I prefer a knob of butter.
I am so sorry to say that is the worst risotto I have ever witnessed. The amount of flavour added was around zero. The absence of onion – a gross error. The absence of white wine bad enough. The use of chicken instead of fish stock for prawns less than ideal. And just prawns – nothing else. Are you serious??? Basically it was mushy rice with three dud prawns on the top. A village idiot could do better than that. You have wasted 14 minutes of my time. I thought I was about to be educated. Instead I was insulted. I would suggest you take this video down as it is a disgrace.
I love your motto, “use what you got”. I hate buying one item that a recipe is called for and just use a dash or a tsp, and the rest of the bottle is left to go bad in my fridge. One of the many aspects why I love your channel 💜
Do you wash the rice in cold water
1st mistake you never wash the rise and 2nd chiicken with prawns nope never
I completely agree with you, I was making risotto and my nan says "oh I do that all the time in the cooker", and I honestly cringed a bit. That's not risotto, nan! ahhhh
Why did you washed the rice?
Never wash the rice that you are gonna put in risotto. So many basic mistakes but thanks anyway for your time and effort. I hope is was still nice!
Looks delicious! Loved that you kept it simple, worked with what you had, and didn't try to hide minor mistakes.
Hello, I am almost sure that you don't wash arborio or carnaroli rice. You need the starch for the risotto to be creamy
Hi guys. Congrats on hitting the 30,000 mark. It’s only going up from here as soon as others find you as I did not so long ago. Flo, no answer is necessary, but coming from a nurse, I’ve wondered if you have incidents of low blood sugar. You have demonstrated a few signs that lead me to wonder. Probably not, but keep an eye peeled just in case. You’re such a delight to watch and learn from. Thanks for sharing a small piece of your world with us. Blessings to you, Dude and the children. Jo
in some parts of northern Italy the cooking of risotto is almost a sacred ritual. In the restaurant where I was chef I had a special pot to prepare risotto. Minced veal marrow, minced shallots to begin with. If making risotto with scampi or gambretti, the carapaces were sautéed with a soffritto of minced carrot, celery and onion in a little olive oil until caramelized then flashed with a dry white wine followed with the addition of 6-8 cups of water brought to a simmer. After sautéing the marrow and shallots, added about a cup of dry white wine, preferably the same wine that the waiter had promoted to customer. The seafood is added in the last few minutes to cook in the hot risotto and immediately presented to the customer. An added touch the waiter using a trepane, slices very thin curls of truffle when in season.
No joke, I seriously thought until just now that risotto was just tiny italian pasta. It really is rice.
Watched again for all the good tips on cooking, flavoring the rice! I have made a rice dish adding broccoli soup for the seasoning, shrimp, piece's of fish, And sliced mushroom, simmer to allow flavors, and stirring occasionally, then let set before serving. I really enjoy it around the holidays. Happy Holiday to your family, love your channel, and past vacation video's!
Looks delicious! So Creamy! Dude cracks me up, but you can blame him for your forgetting to season the shrimp! He's so darn distracting with that camera! HAHAHA Just joking! You're both awesome!!! XOXO
I know it’s not the norm, but I love this recipe because you didn’t add cheese to it! Lol. I tend to stay away from this type of rice dish because it always includes cheese. Just not a fan of cheesy dishes. Thank you for sharing! I will definitely make this!
I agree. Even though you can doesn't mean you should. I have two IP's but still make my risotto the old-fashioned way on the stove top. I've tried making it in the IP, but it just doesn't give me the same creamy, rich texture that cooking on the stove top provides. It's not bad, but I don't cook to achieve "not bad".
This looks really deliciously simple to make-I have some shrimp and some of the rice-not quite sure if I have the 2 cups worth but will make it work. I do have the wine and an onion 😉 – so stove top using my cast iron pot and giving my Instant Pot a rest- works for me. Flo I really like your variation of cooking styles/techniques— Sous vide, Instant Pot, stove top pots…as usual I share the sentiment of others and agree that you both are such a joy to watch…happy holidays
Love enameled cast iron. Le Creuset red is my favorite!
That looks super!!! I hope mine turns out just a fraction of how good yours looks. You always have great recipes. Love your channel
We're not seafood eaters. Is there a way to substitute chicken for the shrimp? Or would it be too heavy for the risotto? Looks delicious!
Flo, have you tried Ina Gartens oven method for risotto? It's pretty darn good. 🙂
Pic up the pot and pour your shrimps in the cool bowl….at 3:50, will comment as I we move forward……
Don't make a video unless you are 109% ready. People will follow your mistakes instead of your success. Patreon is not worth it
To those upset about the absence of onion, and or wine, she didn't ask you to eat it and took the time to inform us of the oversight. That's sufficient, because after all, it was THEIR dinner, not ours. Now, about that last part, Flo, will you send some to Texas for me 😄
Great dish for supper, I liked how you showed, & explained everything! Love your cooking channel!
I keep the single portion (lunchbox size) tetra pack table wine lying around for days like this. Not something I’d drink but still a great turn to when a recipe calls for wine.
I just got my Instant Pot and I’m glad to hear you say that it’s not a panacea. I love the traditional process of making risotto and you have now saved me the trouble of trying to learn another way to do it!
I don't own an instant pot but once you upload a video I have to watch it. I love the energy you and dude have. Love the videos!
I’m Italian and have made it both ways, but I like the convenience of the Instant pot. Last Xmas i made Arancini. They turned out fantastic. I would encourage you to try it again using different recipes.
Yay 30,000!
I am NOT the only one who don't taste my food while I am cooking!!! 🙂
Most of the time, it's good.
Sometimes, the dish end up needing a little more salt and that's it.
So true Flo, if a restaurant can't get Risotto right something's wrong. It's like cooking class 101.
I have the same exact Le Creuset pot! Same color, size, and shape. It is more than likely the hardest working pot I have. LOL! Our Joule came in the mail today! Super excited to start using use it!
I agree Flo on the technique of cooking risotto….Instant Pot does not give you the creaminess and the al dente that we look for. I forgive you for not having the onion/shallot or wine. The important thing is that you know the basics. I keep a bottle of vermouth in the frig for any time I don't have white wine on hand…it works just as well. 😊 Oh, I love my cast iron pots too….they are used so much that the color of the bottom is discolored. Congrats on your subscriber total! Ciao
Congrats on the subs total, you deserve it big time. Prawn risotto on my menu this weekend, when my sister visits – could be this method or my beloved IP but, thank you for the inspiration and your enthusiasm X
Having lived in 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹Italy for a lot of my adult life I'm disturbed that you continued cooking without onions and wine which are BASIC to preparing a Risotto. BTW, the iPot method works quite well. Sorry for this critique. For the most part I really enjoy your cooking clips..
Was an instant like when you said Traditional when it came to this dish…I make it often I was screaming at the where's the onion and wine lol. Good follow up though…The creaminess was something that was there and sometimes disappeared, a little extra ..like tablespoon of butter or two lol, And the the Parmesan. Overall you stuck to the plan adjusted as you had to 🙂 And just one last thing like I started and started with there is no other way no matter what you try, this is the only way to prepare!!
I really enjoyed the conversation between you and dude tonight. My two fav people. xoxo
Yum! I like to try that on a Skottle too.
Yep, I have the exact same pot. Keep it out alll the time and gaze at it. Now, thanks to you, maybe I'll use it!
Nice, Flo.. Dude.. You're such a "Delicate Flower" LOL!!
Looks good! I have the same red pot.
We're having leftover pork chops tonight, but I now know what one of the sides will be…mushroom risotto (runs to get out Le Creuset pot)!
