Re-Heating Rice

[high castle]

Is the issue of re-heating rice (that it can cause food poisoning) misleading, in that the 're-heating' part isn't actually the issue, and that you stand the same chance (if not more) of food poisoning from eating left-over rice where 'Bacillus cereus' has germinated, even if you DON'T reheat it?

Sorry if this has been answered before.

Sorry, if this has been answered before.

Long-running in-jokes abound. Expect sensible answers once everybody's got it out of their system

You don't say?

Ever think on taking a look to see if your pet topic just might have been done to death, warmed-over then done to fucking death all over again?

Okay, I guess my question is more specific being why the 'reheating' aspect seems to be the main point of contention everywhere when it is a total irrelevance, as you have at least as much risk when eating left-over rice that has not been re-heated.

Unless, of course - for some reason I've missed - it isn't a total irrelevance.

Okay, I'll fossick for my answer.

Re-heating rice isn't the risk. Failing to re-heat properly is the risk. Yes, you might as well eat it cold if you fail to re-heat properly.

Possibly. Can't believe Pogo likes your post..

It took about eighteen months in my case - not very pleasant!

Okay, thanks.

I ate barbequed reheated rice lollies dipped in curry sauce and lived to tell the tale.

Secondary toxins created by the bacterial action, which will not be destroyed by reheating and can be every bit as nasty as the bacteria themselves.

In my case it was nine weeks in hospital with all sorts of unpleasantness including the first stages of kidney failure and one of my testicles swelling-up to the size of a grapefruit and many months of feeling utterly shit afterwards as my body slowly expelled the toxins from my system.

Really.. not.. worth.. it..!

It must be a good candidate, although I think threads about chips, the Political Compass and Brixton going posh may still be slightly ahead?

Sorry to hear that. The re-heating doesn't create any changes that exposes us to more risk then?

Re-heating can increase bacterial activity again, possibly to higher levels than before so yes it does play a part but poor cooling/storage is a very big part of the issue.

Right - I didn't know that. I guess that was the answer I was looking for.

So should say clear of both unreheated and reheated rice that hasn't been stored correctly.

 

[pogofish]

More or less, yes.

What is correct storage?
