Cooking Oil

Lock the lid in place and over high heat bring to high pressure. Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for 4 minutes. Reduce the pressure by placing the cooker under cold running water.

Ingredients you will need

Water

Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow steam to escape.

The risotto will be fairly soupy at this point. Set the cooker over medium-high heat and boil uncovered, stirring vigorously every minute, until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender but still chewy, 3 to 5 minutes.

Ingredients you will need

Rice

Add a bit more broth if the mixture becomes dry before the rice reaches the desired consistency. Turn off the heat, stir in the Parmesan, and add salt to taste (if desired).
