Cooked rice storage

[AgentOrange]

thanks so many differing opinions around the net.. mass phase no not really just wanna start eating it occasionally for some AM carbs im actually trying to trim up abit

i hear you can freeze it and just take it with you to work and its defrosted and ready to go... tryed this?

[biggurl27]

Yep all good to freeze. I have made curried sausages and rice for my kids and stuff like that and freeze leftovers for another day. Just take out night before and nuke it.

Yep, I reckon a week in the fridge is safe...I make up a cup (uncooked) of brown rice (uncooked) on a Sunday, and that gives me 5x 100g serves for the week days....

after a couple of days of being in the fridge i find rice goes hard and even when microwaved comes out pretty bad, is there any way to prevent this? after a week in the fridge i can only imagine how bad the rice would get

i just cook it for each day as well as my meat (chicken,beef etc) fresh is beta.

eating clean sucks at best of times, dnt make it worse by eating stale shit

I do a cup of white and a cup of brown, plus 5 kumara all on Sunday. Put it all in the fridge (seperate containers of course) and it keeps for a week. To stop the rice tatsing like crap I mix the kumara with the rice for each meal.

[handyandy]

Anyone find there rice (brown mainly) a bit cruncy coming out of the rice maker?

[biggurl27]

haha my brain is always functioning 2guns, you I think not!

Yeah brown rice is always a bit crunchy, much nicer than white

Holly shit, for once I agree with 2guns...

If you can cook enough for one week at once you either eat f*ck all or your pot is massive.

[teamfatboy]

Yep, I eat rat-all.... my point was that I cooked enough for a week, and it has always been edible/safe to eat at the end of the week.

If you need to eat more, cook more!

I suspect that making sure there's not a lot of excess water in it when it's stored in the fridge would help keep it safe and prevent mould.

try mixing a some cinimon (sp?) into it while your cooking it. comes out tasting and smelling really good. as we all know, rice can get bland real quick....
