Make Ahead Mushroom Risotto with Pancetta

What could be better than a rich and creamy risotto topped with crisp pancetta and earthy mushrooms? A risotto that you don’t have to stir! Luckily you get the best of both worlds in this delicious and easy recipe. The gentle heat of Suvie cooks the rice and releases its natural starches for a creamy risotto that only needs a final stir at the end. The amount of broth added before serving may vary depending on how much moisture the rice absorbs, so use your judgement to get the texture you like best.

Followed the recipe and the risotto did not cook well, resulting in hard-to-chew bits of rice in a soupy-looking mush. Disappointing.
