Reheating leftovers

Agree!

You’re not wrong there. I’ve had it twice from eating old rice.
The second time was in China where I was put on a drip.
And it was my birthday 😥

Rice can be very dodgy.

If it's left warm it can develop toxins. Reheating does not kill off the toxins.

If you intend to re-use cooked rice it should be rinsed after cooking in cold water and frozen quickly then reheated thoroughly.

1. Never reheat rice unless you have a vacuum sealer and use it while rice is hot.
2. Depends how quickly you cool and put away, and how you store it, but use your eyes and nose. Except for pork products (2-3 days), most things will be OK for a week, although with cooked green items their flavour tends to go quite quickly.
3. Never store opened tins, especially with any tomato or fruit content, as this will "eat" the tin

Transfer the food to a covered container and ditch the tin/can.

When reheating food, you should ensure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 75°C (167°F). This ensures that any harmful bacteria are destroyed and the food is safe to eat. Reheating means cooking the food again, not just warming it up, and should be done thoroughly to ensure the entire dish is piping hot.

With rice, make sure it's cooled within 1 hour and then goes straight in the fridge or freezer. Rice kept in the fridge should be eaten within 24 hours. Never reheat rice more than once.

I'll do 3 or 4 days for leftovers. If it is quickly packed up after dinner in sealed containers and put in the fridge right away then no issues.

I make soup on Sunday, and put into sealable bowls for lunch through the week. Usually 8 bowls, so 4 days for us.
