IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEMBER
White, brown, or jasmine rice are all at the same risk.
Bacteria do not change the smell or taste of rice, which is why it is so important to handle it properly.
Reheating it is not enough, as the toxin produced by the bacteria Bacillus cereus is not destroyed by heat.
BONUS TIP: WHAT IF I WANT TO FREEZE IT?
You can do it! Just follow these steps:
Quickly cool the rice as mentioned above.
Divide it into small portions.
Use freezer-safe bags or containers.
Label with the date.
It can last up to 1 month frozen.
When defrosting, don’t leave it on the counter. Do it directly in the microwave or in a pan, until it’s piping hot.
CONCLUSION
Storing cooked rice without knowing this information can have serious consequences. But by following these simple steps, you can enjoy it without worry.
Because it’s not just about cooking well… you also have to know how to store it well!
