Stupid question- stock in risotto

[early30smum]

So I sometimes buy a big tub of fresh stock to add to risottos, which is chilled. Should it be heated up before gradually added to the risotto rice or fine to go in cold and heat up with the rice?!

I don't think it matters- will take a lot longer to cook if it's cold stock so probably warm or hot is best.

I would heat it up. Add a ladleful at a time and keep stirring. Add more once it's absorbed.

I would add it hot. But I'll happily be corrected if someone knowledgeable says the opposite.

I don't think it'll matter, if your adding a bit at a time, it'll heat up as it goes in.

Add it hot

I read this as STUCK in risotto.

Was just going to suggest you eat your way out....

Will be easier and faster if the stock is warmed. I use Knorr stock pots and put the stock pot straight into with the rice (after I have let a glass of wine or a little dry sherry sink in) then measure out boiling water from the kettle into a jug and use that to create the stock as it cooks. Trust me, it turns out fabulous.

Heat it up and keep it on a low simmer - your stock should be kept at the same temperature as your risotto so the rice keeps cooking evenly.

Deffo hot- even if you make stock with boiling water and a stock cube, I always keep it heating in a pan so it says hot :) enjoy!

It should be hot when you add it, yes.

Add it hot. Put it in a saucepan on a low heat and add a ladel at a time making sure each ladel is absorbed before adding the next. It makes it go creamier

I always add hot stock to risotto, but I don't know how crucial the temp is

Must be hot - if cold or tepid you are stopping the cooking process every time you add more as the rice can't absorb it so will take lots longer

Just of note Marco says that adding it a ladle at a time is cheffy nonsense and a label isn't enough to cover all the grains so that they cook evenly so he says to just lop a good bit in and wait till it cooks out. Since if cut out the ladle bit my risottos are much better

Thanks everyone! Hot it is.
