Cooked rice
Shelf life
24 hours in the fridge. Left out overnight = no, regardless of smell.
Storage
Cool within an hour, fridge straight away, eat within one day. This one is a safety rule, not a preference.
Freezing
Freeze the day it's cooked in flat portions. Reheat once, until steaming hot.
Edible parts
All of it, once.
Common mistakes
- · Leaving it cooling on the hob for hours
- · Reheating twice
- · Judging by smell instead of time
Waste less
- · Cook once, freeze in portions the same day
- · Next-day rice → egg fried rice, straight from cold
