reheat chicken fried rice in microwave?

[GlassSlippers]

I always reheat my leftover Chinese as I can't eat it all in one go, being doing it for 30 years without any problems.

Following day?

Yes or no. Is it safe?

5 minutes on 900W setting...

scorched Earth policy the only acceptable option.

It's not the bugs that will make you ill as heating it will kill them.

It's the fact that bugs defecate and that is what will be your downfall.

Leave it in the foil container when you microwave it

Nah, what Nike said.

Leave it in the foil container when you microwave it

Aye, along with the fork used last night.

30 seconds and you'll be ticketyboo on the rice reheat mate

Rice isn't at all problematic

It is like, reheating it is a common cause of food poisoning.

If it’s been properly stored you’ll be fine. If it’s sat out at room temperature for an extended period of time I’d give it a miss.

The issue comes from a bacteria that lives naturally in rice, that isn’t readily killed by heat.

Guidelines call for rice to be reheated only once and as fried rice is typically cooked, allowed to cool and then reheated when it’s fried it looks as though you’re over the recommended amount of reheats. That said, I’ve only been down with the shits from dodgy rice once over the years and have reheated fried rice many times. Depends on whether you feel lucky.

I’ve done it hundreds of times and I’ve had no issues
