Ive always heard rice dishes like this are somewhat "tricky" to make but this seems to be a fool proof recipe. all i did was follow what it said and keep a careful eye and it came out DELICIOUS. no complaints here.

I have used this recipe exclusively for several years now. The main things I think are important to remember to do with this recipe are:
Use Arborio rice
Use only a heavy bottomed pan
Take your time and follow the directions to a "T"

I gave this recipe four stars as it is because, like everyone is saying, it's too much liquid. I didn't add the additional cup of half and half at the end and had to simmer to reduce the pudding for twice the time the recipe calls for -- around 50 minutes. But after that, the end result was FIVE STARS! I didn't do the rum raisins, so I added the scrapings of one vanilla bean. YUM! It really sets up after a night in the fridge. Delicious!

I don't know what happened with this recipe. Mine had almost no taste. I had to make it twice. The first time, I dbld the recipe and it didn't set. So I made it again and thought it would be fantastic. Not so. Very bland and unimpressive. I even added a vanilla bean pod, scraped the inside into the half and half, added another egg and an envelope of unflavored gelatin to help it set. Well, it set alright, but the taste was flat. It must be me 'cause my experience was less than tasty.

A creamy and delicious bit of heaven! I read the reviews first, but followed the recipe...perfect...be sure to let it cook uncovered for the whole time so it reduces to the right consistency. I did use two eggs...since sometimes they can be smaller. Adding the half and half at the end made it a perfect creamy consistency. Also....I added a pinch of Cardamon which added just a wonderful aromatic hint of ginger lemon! You may try plumping the raisins in a covered dish with the Rum in the microwave for 1 minute before adding....Yum! Great Recipe!

I saw the episode featuring this recipe and decided to give it a whirl since my boyfriend loves the stuff. I'm glad I did! The basmati rice works really with this recipe and gave it a more sophisticated flavor. The subtle hint of rum in the raisins was nice too. My only complaint would be that mine came out with more liquid than I'd of like. Next time around I wont add in the additional cup of half and half at the end. All around, this recipe was great and has turned me into a rice pudding believer! I'll be making it again in the future.

First time making it, I always read comments, but this one time I didn't, 5 cups would have been way overboard, 4 cups is even too much.
I just watched Ina make it, turned out great for her, so I thought it'd be fine, but even 4 cups is too much.
Start with 3 and see what happens. Tastes great but way too watery

Made this today for 2nd time. First time too much liquid. This time used 4 cups 1/2 n 1/2 and just 1/2 cup at the end. Consistency is perfect. I omitted the raisins (not fond of them, but added 1 tsp of rum toward end of 25 min cooking time.
So glad I tried it 2nd time. So tasty and comforting! Thanks, again, Ina for another winner.
