Can you do it? I'd quite like to put it on when putting DCs to bed rather than standing at the hob like a numpty...

I always thought risottos needed stirring, so I would have thought not? Prepared to be corrected though!

Plus with risottos you need to keep adding liquid as the rice cooks and expands?

Thanks - I'm sure I read somewhere that you could. I'll have to dig out my recipe books

Yes you can do it, takes about 1.5 hours so you can't leave it on all day, I do a nice salmon and broadbean one in the slow cooker. I have also done the Delia oven version too. Neither is quite as nice as being done on the cooker, not sure why but still pretty good.
