Can I put the white food in the refrigerator? 1 trick to cool the rice quickly! Remaining the remaining food, and there is a way to save it

In the case of food poisoning, rice dumplings are often the culprit. Because of the potentially harmful bacteria, leftover rice dumplings may cause severe stomach discomfort. The key is how to store this cooked staple food.

Cooking website The Spruce Eats reports that undercooked rice contains a common bacterial spore of Bacillus cereus, which can survive after cooking. If the cooked rice is placed at room temperature (between 40 degrees and 140 degrees), the spores will turn into bacteria. These bacteria produce toxins after they reproduce, which leads to food poisoning.

Eating rice contaminated by baptisms may cause vomiting and abdominal distension within 30 minutes to 15 hours, and the symptoms may last for 24 hours.

The remaining food should be completely cooled before putting it into the refrigerator

To avoid the health risks caused by the remaining food, it is very important to store it. Because bacteria breed at room temperature, the remaining food should be completely cooled before putting it in the refrigerator. If it is placed in the refrigerator when it is too hot, especially the closed container will keep the remaining food warm for longer. In addition, hot rice will increase the overall temperature of the refrigerator and make other foods more perishable.

chef and smuggler developer Carla Contreras said that cooked rice should be completely cold within hours (preferably one hour), and bacteria will reproduce quickly after this time; but you should be treated carefully when cold rice, because it should not be placed in the refrigerator when it is too hot, but you should not leave it on the surface for too long.

There are ways to quickly cool rice

Kangcuilla said that the simplest way to quickly cool rice is to place it in a glass container and open the covers and cool it until room temperature. She said it is important to open the bag, which can keep the rice cold as quickly as possible.

Kangcuila puts a small fan next to the kitchen table at home. Turn on the fan to make the hot food cool quickly. Another quick way to chill rice is to flatten it on the side baking pan; the larger the surface exposed to the air, the faster the rice will cool than it is to stuff it into the container.

The remaining food can only be heated once. The more times it is heated, the easier it is to breed bacteria.

Kangcuila pointed out that the rice stored after cooling should be eaten within a day, and the remaining food can only be heated once; the more times it is heated, the greater the degree of bacteria will grow. If you are not sure that you will finish all the leftovers, only heat a portion at a time and heat it in batches when needed.

In order to extend the shelf life of the remaining food, it is recommended to cool it up and heat it up when you want to eat it. When heating, just wrap the rice with a wet paper towel and put it in a microwave, and heat it for 30 seconds at a time until it is hot.
