Another question - Can you freeze rice?

[ChaCha]

As i have load here - cooked way too much.

Well, you can but I suspect it will just defrost into a pile of globby gunge.

I think the likes of Uncle Bens freeze each grain individually and it's not really worth going to that much effort domestically.

I think

I always thought you could, but I'm sure I've seen threads warning about dangers associated with rice and terrible food poisoning, so I try to be more careful with it these days.

Rice is very susceptible to food poisoning bugs, but as long as you don't keep it hanging around for days, leave it out for hours, or reheat it again and again, it will be ok.

I always do - I'm absolutely rubbish at judging how much rice we will eat.

Usually leftovers are sent for lunches (eg. tonight we had 'contents of the veg box' chilli & rice, ds & I both have portions tubbed up in the fridge to microwave at CM/work.)

Any further surplus is frozen in ice cube trays (for dd) or plastic takeaway boxes for everyone else.

I always thought it's OK if frozen quickly & microwaved thoroughly from frozen?

Taste & texture are both fine btw.
