"  I&amp;#039;m a big fan of using a pressure cooker for weeknight stews and braises, but I think my favorite food to pressure cook just might be risotto. This creamy, toothsome Italian rice dish is a real comfort food but notoriously labor intensive and time consuming to make. Typically you have to gradually stir liquid into rice in small batches over the course of 30 minutes or more. Stir too infrequently and your rice is too hard, stir too much and it turns into a mushy, starchy mess. In the pressure cooker, risotto comes out perfect every time with no stirring. Best of all, once your cooker reaches high pressure, it only needs about 6 minutes to cook, so the entire dish, from prep to serving, is ready in less than 20 minutes. Preparing risotto is also a great way to get rid of leftovers. Sliced steak, grilled peppers, and ends of cheese in the snack drawer all make great stir-ins. At my house, we&amp;#039;ll have risotto night before we go food shopping to clear out space in the fridge. Ready to cook your own? Check out our top picks for pressure cookers.
