Risotto fans, have you ever tried risotto in the Instant Pot?

I had been wanting to try this for a while and I was sceptical at first that you could make creamy and flavourful risotto in the Instant Pot in just a fraction of the time it takes to make it stovetop. I mean, all that stirring and carefully pouring out cups of stock had to be for something, right?

I was a doubter, and I just want to go on record here to say that I was totally wrong. Totally.

In just 15 minutes of cook time, your Instant Pot can turn out a risotto that rivals a true labour of love - traditional stovetop risotto.
