Use only Italian short-grain rice (e.g. Arborio, Carnaroli, Vialone) for better tasting risotto. NEVER wash the rice. Every bit of the rice starch helps make risotto creamy.

It is important to add hot stock, not cold, to the rice during the cooking process for better cooking result.

The quantity of liquid suggested in the recipes is always approximate. In actual cooking, you should be prepared to use more, or sometimes less, as the risotto itself requires. Use hot water if the stock has been used up before the rice is fully cooked.

Perfectly cooked risotto should not be hard and stick to the serving spoon, nor should it be so liquid that it runs off your plate. The texture should be supple and fluid, with a creamy, slightly soupy consistency, but with body.
