I cook a LOT but haven't added risotto to my repertoire because I was put off by the thought of standing at the stove, stirring, for the better part of an hour. So I was really excited to find this recipe... so excited I got up off the sofa and went to the store to buy ingredients for it right then and there... at 10:30 at night. :P I followed the recipe as written, adding a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary and several basil leaves cut in ribbons. It's EXCELLENT and I can't thank you enough. This one's a keeper for sure.

I couldn't believe this method would turn out great risotto, but it does. I think more detailed instructions for releasing the pressure would be helpful for newbies like me -- run the bottom of the cooker under cold water. I added a splash of white wine to the sauteeing rice and 2 cups cubed butternut squash just before locking on the lid. Used vegetable broth and left off the cheese for a vegetarian meal. I walked into the kitchen at 6:30 p.m. and we ate dinner at 7:05, which included peeling and chopping a butternut squash. Fantastic recipe!

Wow! This was so good and so easy. This is a great base recipe. I browned some sausage then removed it from the cooker. Then sautéed some garlic, shallots, leeks and mushrooms. I added the sausage back and rice then added 3 cups of chicken stock and 1 cup of white wine. This was delicious. I will definitely make again.

I will go ahead and give this 5 stars because I think it will be there once I tweak it to my electric pressure cooker. I lived in Italy 13 years and I'm pretty skilled at making risotto, so I was very skeptical. Seven minutes was a little bit too long for my cooker, unless you like the rice really soft as opposed to al dente. I'll try 6 minutes next time and slightly less liquid. I did substitute about 1/2 cup of white wine for some of the chicken broth and it needed just a little bit more salt. Other than that it was really good. Keep in mind you can substitute just about any vegetable for the mushrooms as well...I used sun dried tomatoes.

I cannot believe how easy and absolutely wonderful this risotto is! I've never made it in a pressure cooker before and after setting the timer for 7 minutes I was apprehensive as to what would be in there. I needn't have worried; this was the best, creamiest risotto I've ever made. GREAT recipe!

I use vegetarian broth and add frozen peas to make it a one pot vegetarian meal. I have used butternut squash in place of the mushrooms and it was wonderful. Sub any part of the broth with a dry white wine.

A very tasty meal that hubby and the kids ask for. I have tweaked it a little, I add one cup of dry white white and three cups of chicken stock, 6 rashers of bacon, 4 garlic cloves, 500g chicken thighs cubed and two cups of abori rice. Everything else in the recipe remains the same. Turns out fantastic every time.
