Note: When using risotto rice for milk rice pudding or dessert puddings follow the proportions in the recipe book as more water is needed.
When cooking milk rice pudding, use Arborio risotto rice instead of pudding rice, as it cooks quicker and gives better results. Follow the instructions in the recipes. Do not cook the rice directly in milk as it will froth up and boil up through the lid.
