Perfect Paella Hints and Tips

•Prepare all ingredients in advance of cooking. Put them close to the Variety Cooker before you begin.

•Use Arborio rice as a substitute.

•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.

•Use saffron for a nice yellow color as well as a subtle background flavor to the rice.

•Perfectly cooked Paella should be al dente, with a tiny white dot in the centre. The rice should be dry and separate when done, not creamy like risotto.
