boiled rice
is it safe to put boiled rice in the fridge and use it the next day? im sure it must be
also how would you reheat it safely. can you just add it to a stir fry for example any good recipes to use up boiled rice? |

I'd have thought that was fine. Make sure the wok is good and hot and the rice gets well heated.

Carefull. Rice can sometimes contain something called Bacillus cereus. It has been known to survive cooking.
They say that you shoudl not leave cooked rice lying around for more than an hour at room temp. Commercially you will find everyone cooks, cools then reheats rice. you just have to be carefull. suggest as follows....... Cook it, If you want to keep it, cool it down as quick as possible. Eg. pour on some cold water. Then fridge it (cover it) when you want to reheat, the most effective method is to drop a portion into boiling water. Make sure you have enough water in the pan so that it only comes of the boil for a moment. ie. re-heat as quickly as possible. It will be ready to eat in only a few minutes with no loss of quality, and will be nice and fluffy. |

As far as I know, yes, you can. As jasie says, I put it away immediately after having cooled it down, and used the next day with no problem (not that I'm aware of at least.....).
You can use it as you would do with a normal rice - add tomato sauce, and you'll get tomato rice, pesto, you can do "4 cheeses rice": melt together parmesan shavings, gorgonzola, mozzarella and any other one that melts nicely, and pour it over the warm rice. Or just gorgonzola, adding some walnuts. Or, just to be more sophisticated: pass the rice in a hot pan with some butter, add mushrooms and some stock (vegetable) and that's mushroom rice. |

'Listen again' to Radio 4's Food Programme - 6 January "Leftovers". There was something on there about rice in line with that which jasie says above (it gets bacteria which survives cooking) so for commercial food premises 'no'.

We eat a lot of curry in our house and often have rice leftover. Generally I'll keep it in a tupperware box for a maximum of 3 days - i.e. I made a vegetable biryani on Friday and we ate the last of it last night. We've never had the slightest trace of a tummy upset but I do make sure it has a thorough heating and beyond 3 days I'd bin it!

you just need to cool it before the bacteria form - which if you do it slowly or leave it out gives it the ideal temperature to multiply.
Its best to cook it, run it through water and then stick it straight in the fridge. Its not the bacteria, its the toxin they produce thats the issue afaik |

I normally cook rice in the microwave, freeze it, and then just cook in the microwave straight out of the freezer again.

I eat loads of rice, but I was unaware of the dangers of bacteria you have mentioned.
Thank you for that, I will be more careful in the future. Just what side effects does the toxins from the bacteria produce please. I hardly eat many thing to begin with ( no meat no eggs no cheese ), please dont tell me anything too nasty lol. or I will have to live on baked beans for ever. |

I once reheated some rice but didn't heat it enough. Big mistake! I was rather poorly the next day

My Mother always goes on about the dangers of Rice but I've been very careless with it over the years, leaving it out on the stovetop all night and reheating it the next day. To this day though I have not had a single problem.
Still its silly to take the risk and now I try to only cook enough for that meal. |

I got told no with rice, and when people warm the curries up next day its not the flipping curry that gives them food poisoning its the rice!
