| Never warm up or eat food that may have been contaminated by raw food | It is how the rice was stored before it was used again |
|---|---|
| Sausages in a sauce for example a sausage casserole can also be reheated using a microwave, on the hob or in a slow cooker | But actually as long as you reach the required high temperature throughout the food you could warm it up as many times as you wish |
If you want to eat rice cold, then cool it down quickly after cooking by rinsing through with cold water.
6| From a food hygiene point of view it is safe to do, but heating them again causes a tough, rubbery texture that is not enjoyable | So, it is not warming up cooked rice that causes the problem |
|---|---|
| Add 1—2 tablespoons of water for each cup of rice and bring to a simmer | Staying with general guidelines that apply to all foods, the question of what temperature should food be cooked or warmed up to? If you pre-cook an omelette to reheat later, then refrigerate it within 2 hours of cooking and heat it up again in 1-2 days |
Cooking the rice by frying or boiling does kill it, but this bacteria produces spores that are resistant to high temperatures.
17| Can reheating rice cause food poisoning? Cooked rice MUST NOT be allowed to stand for a long time at room temperatures more than 2 hours | Leftover meats are best used in casseroles or pies |
|---|---|
| As cooked rice cools down and enters the the Bacillus cereus spores start hatching | Place in the microwave and heat on full power 3—4 minutes, or until piping hot throughout |
Half of all those cases are found to have been caused by food eaten at home.
