My Tips for the best Risotto

1. Use hot stock

This slows down the cooking process. Adding warm stock ensures it stays hot and everything cooks evenly.

2. Stir, but not too much

You don't want the rice to stick to the bottom of the pan, but too much stirring can add air into the risotto and make it gloopy.

3. Make sure you use Arborio rice

This may seem obvious, but the deliciously creamy texture of a good risotto depends on using the right kind of rice. Arborio is the most commonly used rice for risotto.
