Re-heated chinese from last night.

[dodgepot]

Have we not got enough of these threads already FFS?

it's the board police

 

[oddworld]

Why not buy a less wasteful portion to begin with?

I ordered for two and there was some left over as we were both full.

What a silly point to make!!

 

[electrogirl]

watch out everybody, pogofish is outraged

 

[dodgepot]

yeah. i'm glad i'm going home now.

'Bored' .... you mean dodgepot.

 

[electrogirl]

yeah. i'm glad i'm going home now.

oh, you're going home?

 

[quimcunx]

It's not summer yet. Tell him to come back later.

Jesus likes Jesus juice.

But not when given to kids for questionable purposes.











Actually, not when given to kids full stop!

Reheated rice has never made me ill and I always leave mine out even in summer.

I've heard that reheating rice can cause food poisoning. Is this true?

It's true that you could get food poisoning from eating reheated rice. But it's not actually the reheating that's the problem – it's the way the rice has been stored before reheating.

Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, bacteria that can cause food poisoning. When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive. Then, if the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores will germinate into bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that cause vomiting or diarrhoea. Reheating the rice won't get rid of these toxins.

So, the longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that bacteria, or the toxins they produce, could stop the rice being safe to eat.

It's best to serve rice when it has just been cooked. If that isn't possible, cool the rice as quickly as possible (ideally within one hour) and keep it in the fridge for no more than one day until reheating.

Remember that when you reheat any food, you should always check that it's steaming hot all the way through, and avoid reheating more than once.

You're all total lossers.
You'll be fine. I've done it loads of times.

I couldn't be bothered to read that. Looks borin.

Well yes.

I've ran across motorways folks and always been ok so you'll be ok too...

A valid point though - Esp as the OP posted this less than a month ago:

Proper feeling sick and upset tummy

I re-heated risotto last night for my tea and this morning feel really sick and shakey.

Blurgh - could it be the risotto?

So it seems they could have easilly amswered their own question?

Oops, I should be dead or at least shitting myself silly at least once a week.

 

[geminisnake]

oh i thought the dodginess would be leaving out at room temperature all day for loads of gribbly little bacteria to grow.

I live in a house on the NE coast with no heating. Believe me I don't worry about bacteria growing. I worry about icicles
Odds should have put the food away but at least it was covered

Thing is, you need to be able to keep the food below four degrees reliably to merely reduce the risk & there are a number of other potential contaminants that remain active at even fridge temps. One of which is particularly associated with ingredients used in Chinese cooking.

 

[pogofish]

Depends on the particular bacteria - Depending on temprature & other factors, certain types can reach a toxic level in as little as four hours.

 

[electrogirl]

Well I still say I have always been fine.

 

[pogofish]

Then you have been bloody lucky - bad stuff aside, I & plenty of others (incl the Op it seems) have got on the wrong end of 2nd day takewaways before & the increased level of contaminents in modern ingredients makes it a particularly daft thing to do.

 

[cesare]

I'd do anything to minimise the risk of getting food poisoning again. Three weeks it took to clear up. The first 48 hours I couldn't leave the bathroom.

 

[subversplat]

Leaving Chineseout overnight just gives it a chance to properly mature.

 

[johnnymarrsbars]

they do it in films all the time so it's definitely okay.


ONLY if its in a square box though.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Brown people eat re-heated rice all the time and we're not all dead.

You'll be fine!

I'm aware of some fairly recent research into Bacillus Cereus & race-related variations in tolerance but do you really want to open that can of worms here?

They are also experementing with a prep made from it as an alternative to antibiotics, but again I don't think that is anywhere near human trials yet?

We are also currently doing research into rice, arsenic & related cancers & frankly, the first stage results are disturbing - Remember that there is no minimum safe level of exposure here.

I think that's the lesson to be learned here. You'll probably be okay, lots of people will say they've done it, or similar, lots of times with no consequence but anyone who's not been so lucky knows that it's not worth the risk.

 

[panpete]

Im OCD about food. I usually eat all my meals in a day, but my paranoia has cost me loads of leftovers, or past sellby which would prob have been ok.

And I've a phobia of vomiting I've always been careful cos of that so goodness knows what happened there ... but I really really wouldn't like to repeat the experience.

The difference is a bit like having proper flu compared to a bad cold.

 

[pogofish]

And I liked my its before rice-related e-coli had its way with them.

 

[oddworld]

Well still ok this morning, all is well.
