Instant pot parmesan risotto is the perfect side dish. It’s quick and easy to make. It is creamy and full of flavor.
How I made this Instant Pot Risotto Recipe
I love all things rice. Like all rice dishes. One of my favorite thing to make is risotto. Traditional risotto is time consuming to make.
So when I discovered how easy it was to make risotto in the instant pot I fell in love! It’s cooked well, and has the cheesy creamy result I love in a good risotto.
SO I like to make flavored rice in my instant pot, it’s not as creamy as risotto but it tastes amazing. It’s hard to go wrong with parmesan, onions, butter and garlic though, right?

How to avoid the burn notification making this instant pot risotto
When you start any instant pot dish using the saute function I recommend using the non-stick liner to help avoid the burn notification.
And of course the key to avoiding the burn notification is to deglaze really well after you saute – add 1/2 a cup of liquid. Wine is classic but I just used some of the broth I already had ready for the dish.
The reason you only use 1/2 C instead of all the liquid is so you can SEE the bottom of the pot as you deglaze. Make sure it’s nice and “clean” with no residual food cooked on the bottom.
As long as you deglaze well you’ll avoid the burn notification. Another tip – if your adding meat to the dish using the trivit to keep the meat from sitting on the bottom of the pot will also help avoid the burn notification.
To make this Parmesan Risotto you’ll need
- A Pressure cooker – I have this Instant Pot
- non stick inner liner
- Aborio rice
