Over the stove

1. Put the risotto in a skillet, non-stick ideally, and add some butter and wine or meat broth or water.
2. Put the stove on medium heat and as you reheat the risotto, make sure to stir it.
3. Keep stirring throughout the reheating so that the risotto reheats throughout and it does not stick to your pan.
4. If the risotto looks dry, add some more butter or broth, to make it creamier.

In the oven

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. During this time, leave the risotto to settle to room temperature.
2. Place the risotto in a butter-coated pan.
3. Then add some butter and wine or meat broth or water to the risotto.
4. Then bake it for about 10 minutes.
5. Every two minutes, make sure to take the risotto out and stir it so that it heats evenly throughout and it does not stick to the pan.
6. If it looks dry, just add some more liquid to it.

How many times can you reheat risotto?

You should only reheat your risotto once.

Once the food is heated, you need to eat it straight away or else it might grow bacteria.

You surely do not want to be getting food poisoning, especially if the risotto has meat or fish in it.
