What makes this risotto method so quick?
- This recipe uses NEFF’s FullSteam oven function, which helps to inject steam throughout the cooking process to cook your risotto to perfection without needing to continuously stir and add water or stock.
- Unlike VarioSteam, NEFF’s other steam oven option, this method uses continuous steam alone to combine the flavours and cook your ingredients without switching containers or stirring for an hour.
