Why We (almost) Never Order Risotto in a Restaurant

Video Description

Risotto is a very simple dish, but a lot of people don't realize that it's surprisingly difficult for restaurants to make. That's because, unlike pasta, the rice and sauce need to be cooked together from start to finish—you can't just prep the sauce in advance and boil some rice when a customer places an order. That's why restaurants usually cook risotto using a different, faster method so that their diners aren't left waiting for 30 minutes or more. But is this "quick risotto" as good as the traditional method? And can it be used to speed up homemade risotti? That's what we aim to find out with today's investigative experiment, where we pit the two techniques against each other! -------- OUR COOKBOOK https://geni.us/italianfamilykitchen FOLLOW US Website/Recipe Blog - https://www.pastagrammar.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pastagrammar Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pastagrammar Snapchat - https://www.snapchat.com/add/pastagrammar Twitter - https://twitter.com/PastaGrammar VISIT ITALY WITH US Italian Food Tours - https://www.pastagrammar.com/tour VISIT EVA'S HOMETOWN Visit Dasà - https://www.visitdasa.com SUPPORT US Merch Store - https://teespring.com/stores/pasta-grammar-2 Shop Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/shop/pastagrammar 00:00 - Homemade vs. Restaurant Risotto 02:09 - How to Make a Traditional Risotto 09:18 - Tasting the Traditional Method Risotto 11:01 - How Restaurant's Make Risotto 15:06 - Tasting the "Restaurant Method" Risotto 18:22 - Pasta Grammarian in Action! #risotto #italianfood #rice
