Good to know

Chef's tip

👉 For a perfectly creamy texture, stir vigorously for 20–30 seconds right after opening the Cookeo. If the risotto seems too thick, add 1 to 2 tbsp of hot broth, never cold water.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The rice turns mushy and the texture breaks down badly, turning the dish into porridge.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Risotto loses its creamy texture and turns gluey. If needed, eat within 24 hours at most, stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

The best quality and texture of risotto are reached right after cooking. Not recommended.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

In a saucepan over low heat with a little broth or water, stirring constantly to restore a semblance of creaminess. Microwave possible at moderate power, stir often, add liquid. Oven and air fryer not recommended, they would dry out the rice.

Variations

  • Use the Browning mode to sauté the onion and garlic.
  • Add the parsley at the end.
  • Serve right away.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Forgetting to toast the rice: stir for 1 minute.
  • Opening late: release the pressure and open immediately.
  • Keeping the mushroom water: brown them for 2 to 3 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make risotto in the Cookeo?

In Browning mode, sauté the onion and garlic, brown the mushrooms 2-3 minutes, toast the rice 1 minute, reduce the white wine, add the broth, cook 5 minutes under pressure, then stir in the parmesan.

Why is the risotto creamy?

Pressure cooking binds the Arborio rice, which stays tender with no babysitting and no gradual addition of broth. The parmesan, stirred in vigorously at the end of cooking, completes the texture.

When should you add the parmesan?

At the end of cooking, release the pressure, open immediately, add 50 g of grated parmesan and stir vigorously to bind the risotto.

How do you cook the mushrooms?

Add the sliced mushrooms after the onion and garlic, in Browning mode, and brown them for 2 to 3 minutes to cook off their moisture.
