- Hot broth: It's essential for even cooking of the rice. Cold broth stops the cooking.
- All'onda texture: The risotto should be slightly fluid and spread gently on the plate.
- Warm lobster: Gently reheat it in the lemon butter so it absorbs the flavors without further cooking.
- Immediate service: Serve in preheated plates to retain heat and creamy texture.
