I don't have anymore to post than this. I'm sure one of them is correct. We have completely runny all the way to pastey and clumpy

I like this one

I guess 6. I think it's preference really. I prefer a drier risotto.

Here's a 2nd view of 5, what do you think now?
That was clumpy and pasty. Almost like sticky rice.

I would say this one, or

Seem to be the best consistency.

.....They are completely different consistencies though......
GOD DAMN HOW AM I EVER GOING TO PERFECT RISOTTO IF I CAN'T TELL WHICH CONSISTENCY IS RIGHT

Looks slightly drier than what I've had, but I've only had risotto a handful of times. Still looks good to me.

Just to clarify 6 would be unacceptable to serve in any Italian restaurant.

1) How the fuck do you expect us to judge consistency from a still picture?

2) Surely you're aware that different people might have different preferences regarding texture? Make it the way you or your guests like it.

>How the fuck do you expect us to judge consistency from a still picture?
Just pick which one looks right

Looks aren't sufficient to make a good judgement.

You need to taste it, or at the very least see a video of some kind showing it pour off a spoon.

Do you enjoy your rissoto? If yes, then it's the right consistency for you.
Holy shit, why do cumskins have to overcomplicate rice of all things?

I'll have the number 6 please, with ketchup

1, 2, 8 are all acceptable. The rest are dogfood.

i'm not sure i can make the rice choice.

they all look pretty rice.

not left, take a rice to flavor town.

They all look a little too dry IMO, but it's entirely up to you. The bottom line is whether or not it tastes good, and if YOU enjoy it. Fuck everybody else.

Regardless, if you added another ladle of stock to the pic in your OP pic, it would be about perfect, as most risotto are prepared with a fairly wet consistency almost resembling a cream type of sauce.

I agree....needs more dirt.

If memory serves me right, this is risotto made correctly. So whatever pic is closest to this.

That's rice porridge, not risotto.

Where have you had risotto before? It's supposed to be very creamy.

See:

My advice is to not listen to any faggot on Veeky Forums (except me of course) and to cook risotto the way you enjoy it the most. As a cook you should be able to decide which consistency variation you like best.

If people disagree with you, fuck em.

that's risotto you pezzo di merda
that's the only pic that looks like risotto in the whole thread
uhm, no sweetie, call it shit if you want, but it's not risotto. mettitelo in culo va'

>bloated mushy rice

Nobody in the thread agrees
How is 4 and 9 dry?
That's literally 4

Seems to me Veeky Forums literally doesn't know what it's talking about.

Read that again.

Let it sink in.

Make it the way you fucking want to make it.

I don't know shit about risotto but this plate of rice seems like the most delicious.

I just had some risotto for dinner and it was shit, the grains were still very slightly crunchy in the center and it pissed me off.

Where did you get it from? I hope it wasn't from a restaurant.
If you pay 20 bucks for undercooked risotto then you need to complain immediately
