I stay at home with my 1-yo so stirring risotto in a pot is not an option!

The grains are smaller and fatter which helps them to be sticky and creamy in texture. If you think it's too gluey for your liking, you can leave the lid off and let some of the condensation evaporate before serving, but from what you describe, it sounds like you did everything correctly. :-)Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-82073869625666144152011-04-20T15:54:21.654-07:002011-04-20T15:54:21.654-07:00Oh, and thank you for your blog : )Oh, and thank you for your blog : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-81822848954562376942011-04-20T15:53:30.180-07:002011-04-20T15:53:30.180-07:00Just curious, is this supposed to be crazy creamy?...Just curious, is this supposed to be crazy creamy?

I left out most of the oil - just sauteed some shallots and 1 garlic clove in a tab of oil and butter. But it was overdone and a bit gloopy in 2 hours (don't think my slowcooker is hot). I hate to think about what it would be like in over 2 hours or with full amt of oil.
