Tips and Warnings

  • Before you cover the Instant Pot for pressure cooking, be sure there is nothing sticking to the bottom of the pot. You do this to avoid the ‘burn’ notice on the Instant Pot. the ‘burn’ notice is more common with older versions of the Instant Pot. 
  • You can use an already shredded Italian cheese mix or you can use ⅓ cup parmesan cheese, ⅓ cup asiago cheese, ⅓ cup mozzarella cheese. 
  • The risotto should be creamy, but not liquidy. If the rice isn’t cooked after you’ve added the cheese, cover the Instant Pot and let the rice absorb the liquid for an additional 5-10 minutes.
