When I make risotto it always takes longer than it should even though I heat the stock.Don't worry about it, just do it by taste.

i just heat up a lean cuisine risotto and say i cooked it myself
actually tastes really good for a frozen dinner

I use cold stock and it comes out fine.
You might have to go the fucking idiot proof way and use the oven.
Make chef johns shroomsotto.
Idk what the fuck you did OP. Takes me less than an hour with cold stock.

ffs people, it takes about half an hour to make a risotto. Just put the stock on the backburner and bringalmost to boiling point then simmer. Meanwhile fry bits, add rice, add wine, add stock as needed, all on high heat, stirring all the time. Risotto is done when rice is cooked to your desired texture, finish off with some parm and cream and butter or as many of these as you like and serve immediately

it's not rocket science.

This. It's not an exact science just keep cooking it til it's done. Make sure it's simmering throughout the cooking

Use Orzo instead, it's not as pretty as risotto rice but you can just dump all the stock in, stir occasionally for a few minutes and serve.

The fuck is this

>>8171844
Orzo sucks ass though

>it's an anon's meal is ruined but he 'knows' he did nothing wrong episode

Yeah if you add cold stock to the hot toasted rice it will cause the grains to seize up and not cook properly.
If you didn't toast your rice, that is also an important step, don't skip on it.
