The Arborio base and aged Parmesan produce a genuinely creamy result, and adding a little extra Parmesan at the end brings it very close to scratch risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I rely on this for a clean-ingredient weeknight side without spending time stirring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Stir in cooked shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, peas, asparagus, roasted chicken, pancetta, or fresh herbs at the end of cooking. A final grating of Parmesan or a drizzle of truffle oil also elevates it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this risotto work with an Instant Pot, rice cooker, or other small appliances?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works well in an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker at about 12 minutes high pressure.
