yesterdays chilli

kezbradley

Hi gang, yesterday was my sons birthday and I made too much food and also a too big chilli. All excess food has been recycled to freezer etc but am not sure what to do with the chilli, I know it would be ok in itself but it was all mixed in the pot with rice and I know you have to be careful with reheating rice. Any ideas otherwise I will just feed it to my hubby who will eat anything!

Thanks

Just make sure you reheat it until it's piping hot. I regularly freeze and reheat rice!!

Reheating rice doesn't kill that nasty form of bacteria. I'd chuck it to be on the safe side.

Hi kezbradley

I know some people don't like to freeze or reheat rice, but I often do and have never had any problems with it, as purpleprincess says just make sure it's piping hot when you reheat it.

another vote for freezing it then re-heating well, been doing it for decades & I'm still here

i've never frozen rice, but pretty much every time i cook rice some gets reheated, usually for lunch at work, and i've never given it a second thought, or had any problems.

I didn't know it was dangerous to re-heat rice. Alot of micro meals have cooked rice in them, if it was dangerous surely they wouldn't be allowed to sell it or there would be warnings on pack?

I am a school cook and on our food hygiene course we learnt that rice is one of the biggest causes of food poisoning and to NEVER reheat it.

Saying that I always freeze and reheat rice at home! Just make sure it is piping hot when you serve it.
