Hi pixie,

I haven't frozen risotto, but this thread may help:

For other lunch ideas this thread has lots of suggestions:

I am making chicken and pea risotto tonight - i'm hungry now, but OH won't be home till 9pm at the earliest, does risotto reheat well?

valk_scot

Yes. I put it in a covered dish in the microwave and stir it a couple of times. Which is just as well because I made ham and mushroom risotto today and Hubby won't be in till past 9pm too.

As title - can i freeze risotto?

I made a load of risotto & was planning to eat it again tomorrow but the kids weren't overly keen so I was thinking I could freeze it for another time but wasn't sure how it would work..:

Its a basic risotto with added butternut squash, courgette & cooked Parma-style ham

I would freeze but just be careful when reheating.

Rice. No.

Uncooked rice may contain the spores of a bacterium called Bacillus Cereus, which can survive cooking. If cooked rice is allowed to stay warm, then these spores germinate, grow and produce a toxin. The bacterium is destroyed by cooking or reheating, but not the toxin. In very rare cases, this toxin has killed otherwise perfectly healthy people.

Of course you can. I do it all the time and we're never ill.
