How to cook risotto

Before using your Risotto and Rice Perfect for the first time wash the removable cooking pan, lid, rice measuring cup and serving spoon in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

1.Using the Sunbeam rice measuring cup provided, measure out the required quantity of rice, making sure that the rice is a level full cup. Refer to the Rice Cooking Charts on page 8.

2.Place the measured rice in a sieve and wash rice thoroughly under cold water. Continue washing rice until water runs clear, making sure to shake off any excess liquid.

3.Press the MENU button until the SAUTE light is illuminated. The light will flash several times before permanently illuminating.

4.Add the butter/oil and let heat for 2-3 minutes or until melted/ heated.

5.Cook desired ingredients to recipe specifications, making sure to stir occasionally for even browning/ colouring.

6.Add the rice, mixing well to coat all grains.

7.Add desired liquid. If using alcohol, let it evaporate before adding stock/water. Make sure the rice is level, and all ingredients are submerged in the stock for even cooking.

8.Place lid on pan.

9.Press the MENU button until the RISOTTO light is illuminated. Again this will flash several times, before permanently illuminating.

10.When risotto is cooked, the unit will beep and automatically switch to KEEP WARM.

11.Remove lid and using the Sunbeam spoon stir risotto until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Add seasonings (cheese, herbs, salt, pepper etc.).

12.The Sunbeam Risotto and Rice Perfect will remain on the KEEP WARM setting for 30 minutes until you’re ready to serve. After 30 minutes it will switch off, this will ensure the meal is warm but not overcooked.

Risotto Cooking Tips

For optimum results, Sunbeam recommends stirring the rice halfway through the cooking process. This allows the rice to be agitated, activating the natural starches in the rice, which will result in a naturally creamier, smoother risotto.

If the risotto is not cooked to the desired level, stand on the KEEP WARM setting for several minutes, or, switch back to the RISOTTO setting until the risotto is cooked to the desired level. More liquid (water or stock) can be added if needed.

If risotto is sitting on the KEEP WARM setting for an extended period of time, stir occasionally so browning on the base won’t occur.
