A microwave oven, no matter what rumors are spread about it, is a great help at work, in the country and even at home.
Especially when you need to quickly reheat prepared food or just don’t want to mess around with a frying pan.
Everyone knows that not all products can be heated this way. Chicken eggs and foil packaging can cause trouble.
But which housewife knows why you can’t heat cooked rice in the microwave?
Threat of poisoning
Experts do not advise housewives to re-heat rice.
Once reheated, food may become unsafe and cause health problems.
It has long been known that rice grains can contain bacteria that cause stomach diseases.
Heat treatment does not always help and bacteria survive.
Moreover, if you leave the finished cereal at room temperature for a long time, microorganisms will begin to multiply.
Ultimately, the food can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and more serious consequences, including damage to the central nervous system.
To avoid consequences, housewives are advised to store cooked rice only at a temperature no higher than 5 degrees Celsius.
You can reheat ready-made cereals only once and only if they have been stored in the refrigerator.
