Avoiding dry spots in risotto
💡 Method reminders
- •Store risotto in shallow portions so reheating stays even the next day.
- •Use the method that matches the texture you want back from risotto.
- •Stop reheating as soon as the center is hot so risotto does not dry out.
❌ Common misses for this method
- •Very high heat from the start if risotto is dense or sauce-heavy
- •Overcrowded pans or baskets that trap steam around risotto
- •Repeated reheats of the same portion
