Notes
Cool it off: ensure that it it thoroughly cooled off before starting to package it up. Otherwise you will get condensation in the package and it can create freezer burn.
Portion it out: determine the portion size you will need and package in those portions. This way you only defrost what you need.
Keep air out: ensure you have removed any air from the bag before zipping it shut to minimize exposure to air. If using a container try to make sure the container is sized so there is only a few inches between the risotto and the lid.
