I've been using my pressure cooker for years and had always heard you shouldn't cook rice in it because the small pieces might clog the steam vent.

Thank you for trying out the recipe and for sharing your feedback.SO glad everyone enjoyed it!<br /> The risotto is a favorite in our house...we make it often. Love the fact that it is so simple to prepare and it doesn't use too much stock as the stovetop version....the butter is minimal, as well as the cheese... so I don't feel guilty eating it at all:). <br />Again, thanks for taking the time to comment and for being so sweet... sending you lots of hugs!

It was fantastic, thanks again, I never thought I could make such a delicious risotto so quickly.<br /><br />By they way, I don't know if you had a chance to read my reply earlier on my blog but my mom too will be making this tomorrow night. :)megihttp://www.lindentea.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-59269630770470756582011-02-17T15:28:37.216-08:002011-02-17T15:28:37.216-08:00He probably will, I have to try it out!

Megi, ...Stefania, Grazie, e un grande complimento!<br /><br />Megi, I hope you enjoy it:)!<br /><br />Ashley, Aww....thank you for your sweet comment! I am so glad you are enjoying the pressure cooker!! <br /><br />The brown rice needs to cook for at least 15 minutes...just remember to let it come down in pressure naturally(not the cold water method). This allows the rice to absorb the extra liquid.<br /><br />Try it first with 15 minutes and increase it a bit more next time...if you still feel it is too watery or the rice is still not cooked to your preference. <br /><br />Cooking it down further( without the lid) for a few more minutes is also another option. After a few tries, you will get it where it works for you every time:) <br /><br />The pressure cooker is especially great for brown rice...it isn't as quick as white rice but quicker than the usual 40 minutes( or so) required in a regular pot. <br />Hope that helps a bit.<br /><br />Speranta, Multumesc mult! Sper sa incerci si tu, daca poti:)...mai ales risotto cu mazare...cred ca oa sa iti placa si tie.<br /><br />Jennifurla, Yes, definitely a quicker version, much quicker...and it tastes wonderful too:).<br /><br />Explora Cuisine, Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words...so very sweet of you! You know, my husband didn't care for the regular stove top risotto either... and but when I started making the pressure cooker version, he LOVED it and actually requests it quite often:). So, maybe your husband will one day like it too:)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029231204593874635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-32154578073573206992011-02-17T05:46:46.451-08:002011-02-17T05:46:46.451-08:00Bellissimi risotti, ciao :)Bellissimi risotti, ciao :)Cool Chic Style Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102489700935476755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-30076174248134469762011-02-17T03:40:19.144-08:002011-02-17T03:40:19.144-08:00Ellie, brilliant post as always, I have all the in...Ellie, brilliant post as always, I have all the ingredients, including a pressure cooker, guess what we are having for dinner tonight?

Absolutely no regrets! I tried making brown rice this week but the recipe I found on the net wasn't v. helpful...it said 4 minutes which wasn't enough time so I put it back for another 6 or so minutes and it was v. slushy...poor Lydia ended eating most of it since she's been requesting rice =) Any tips are appreciated...tnx!
