As soon as timer goes off, switch rice cooker to warm (most models will do this automatically). Open rice cooker and add zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 cup frozen peas, 2 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1 cup), 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth, and remaining 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter and stir until cheese and butter are melted and combined and mixture is creamy. Add more broth ¼-cupful at a time as needed until risotto is loosened to your desired consistency (this could be up to 1 cup more). Season with pepper and more salt if needed.
