Risotto question?
« on: February 24, 2012, 12:27:20 am »
Hi all

Am making risotto today to make arancini for tonight.  My questions are can you double the recipe and if so would you have to cook it longer?

Also does anybody know if risotto freezes well?

thanks in advance  :-*

Hi Auds,
I don't think you could double the recipe as it won't all fit in the TM bowl.
I freeze risotto as I love mushroom risotto and no-one else does, so I make a batch and freeze just for me. No complaints from me when I've pulled it out of the freezer and reheated it!
Cheers,
Nikki.

I agree with both,  infact  took some out of freezer today.

I've managed fill the TM bowl using the recipe in the EDC by replacing the mushrooms with chicken and leek - I forgot to keep to the same quantities and it was a bit crowded. Probably ended up adding about 300g more than the recipe asks for.
It was very full - not past the top mark but it was certainly bubbling up and I managed to get the butterfly to become unseated. Ended up removing the butterfly and just cooking on reverse sp1 as suggested in the EDC.
All good though! Managed to feed 6 adults and 5 kids with it and it was good - but I am much better at measuring my extras or replacement ingredients now ;)

Yes, be careful not to overload the bowl dragongirly - it could come back to bite you on the bottom down the track because of the strain on the blades. This is what consultants have told us.

Thank JD - I will be very careful. Don't want to replace the blade before it is well and truly worked out  :)

You may even need to up the speed to keep the mixture turning. I know of a person who did risotto on a low speed and welded the blades as they couldn't turn the heavy risotto.

Thanks Cookie.  I think I shall just make sure not to put too much in *grin*.  I'm much too far away from anywhere I can get my TM looked at if I get a bit pushy with it *grin*
