Published on August 21, 2019, a report by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention highlights the importance of proper food handling and storage to prevent food poisoning.
When it comes to leftover rice, the key is to cool it quickly and store it in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking. This will prevent bacterial growth and reduce the risk of food poisoning.
Reheating leftover rice requires attention to detail as well. To ensure the rice is piping hot all over, you can add a tablespoonful or two of water to re-steam it. However, it's essential to note that you should not reheat rice more than once to avoid food poisoning.
