Risotto

If you are not familiar with risotto, it’s cream-based rice that originates from Italy.

Traditionally risotto is slow-cooked for hours, but with the Instant Pot, the hours become minutes, and you still get a delicious rice dish at the end of the process.

Risotto can be made from any rice, but the long-grain rice tends not to stick together, which is great for a regular rice dish, but not for a true risotto. For a true risotto, you need short-grain rice, such as arborio or carnaroil rice.
