Information

To avoid food poisoning from rice the following guidelines should be adhered to:

  • ideally eat straight after coking
  • if not, cool as quickly as possible, ideally within one hour
  • to do this drain the rice in a colander, rinse with cold water then tip into a large, shallow container
  • once cold, cover and keep in the fridge for no longer than one day before reheating 
  • ensure the rice is piping hot before serving
