Basic Microwave Risotto image

Microwave Risotto is great because of its forgiving nature; if you forget it for a half hour, nothing is lost. Also, it is a wonderful clean-out-the-fridge, use-your-imagination, I-just-bounced-five-checks recipe. It reheats well too. You can use margarine or olive oil in place of the butter, and you can use apple juice or white grape juice in place of the wine.

This risotto was a hit at my dinner party! Everyone loved the creamy texture and the rich flavor. I'll definitely be making this again for special occasions.

Not a fan. The texture was weird and the flavor was just okay. I'll stick to my regular risotto recipe.

Pretty good! I've never made risotto before, so I was surprised at how well this turned out. It was easy to follow and the result was creamy and flavorful.

This risotto is a game-changer! I used to think risotto was too complicated and time-consuming, but this microwave version is so easy and quick. And it tastes just as good as traditional risotto!

Disappointing. The risotto was bland and mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

One word: delicious! This risotto was creamy, flavorful, and packed with veggies. It was also incredibly easy to make in the microwave. Highly recommend!

Not as good as traditional risotto, but still a tasty and convenient option. I especially liked the addition of peas and Parmesan cheese.

This was my first time making risotto, and it turned out great! The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the result was a delicious, creamy dish. I'll definitely be making this again!

Meh. I've had better risotto. The microwave cooking method didn't seem to add anything special.

Not bad for a microwave risotto. It was quick and easy, but the texture was a bit off. I think I'll stick to stovetop risotto in the future.

This risotto was a lifesaver! I had unexpected guests and needed to whip up something quick and impressive. It turned out creamy, flavorful, and disappeared in minutes. Definitely a keeper!
