A regular at my old spot in Tampa told me my risotto was 'too careful'

He said it looked perfect but tasted like I was scared of the rice. For a year, I'd been stirring non-stop on low heat, never letting it really sizzle. Last week, I cranked the heat at the start to get a good toast on the arborio, then backed it off. The texture is way better now, more creamy and less gluey. Has anyone else gotten a piece of simple advice that flipped a basic technique for you?

My first five loaves of bread were basically doorstops.

My buddy's burgers were dry until he stopped pressing them.
