Re-heated Rice, I know I shouldn't but *if* I do how should I re-heat it?

[Demented]

I've got some gorgeous saffron rice left over from dinner last night. It was put in the fridge fairly swiftly after everyone had taken their fill. I know I shouldn't but I am thinking that I could add a couple of tablespoons of water to the rice and put it in an ovenproof dish covered with foil in the oven at about 190 for 20 mins or so. Would this work? Worried it might dry out too much.

We have eaten loads of rice salads, rice from takeaways and in the past re-heated rice (egg fried rice made with leftover rice etc) and haven't had food poisoning yet.

have eaten reheated rice all my life, not had food poisoning yet...do make sure is piping hot tho...

Rice food poisoning is very unpleasant (I speak from experience ).

It is like Russian Roulette, but obviously the odds are not as bad!

Interestingly the toxicologist that I worked with did eat puffer fish in Japan.....far more dangerous. Her rationalwsa, I think, that a bit of left over rice wasn't worth the risk, but that some risks were worth taking. Life without risk would be very, very dull and we all set our own limits.

I do eat a raw steak, because I enjoy it, and I know all about the tapeworms. There is also quite a risk in raw fish. I enjoy both. But I can't be fagged to re-heat rice, and don't like it re-heated anyway. I stay a long way from poorly cooked chicken, having had a nasty does of salmonella from it once!

But the facts about rice are as stated. there is nothing that you can do to reduce the risk if the bacteria were there in the first place.

Eeew, hmb, I've had salmonella too, not nice is it? I've just read Anthony Bourdain's book, A Cook's Tour - in search of the perfect meal, where he talks about eating puffer fish in Japan, it sounds terrifying but one of those things that just has to be done if you're there. You either die pretty immediately or you're ok IIRC. Scary.

And I think that was the reason the toxicologist ate it. Some things are once in a lifetime....and make make it once in a shorter lifetime!

The salmonella was awful, and caught in the 'oh so clean and hygenic' U Sof A.....never would have believed it!

doesn't make any sense
why would rice become bad for you if you eat it right after reheating it?
ok eat it cold then

You bumped a thread from 2004 to refute a well known fact about food poisoning from rice?

I wouldn't eat 11 year old rice tbh
