Frequently Asked Questions - Candies UI
Q: Can I use regular rice?
A: No. At Candies UI, we highly recommend Arborio or Carnaroli rice because their high starch content is what creates the creamy sauce.
Q: Why do I need to warm the broth?
A: Adding cold broth shocks the rice and slows down the cooking process, affecting the final texture.
Q: Is risotto gluten-free?
A: Naturally, yes! Just ensure your vegetable or chicken broth is certified gluten-free.
