Improper storage of leftover rice is more dangerous than improper heating. The key reason is that rice is easy to breed Bacillus at room temperature. The correct storage method is to cool the leftovers at room temperature 1 hour (no more than 1.5 hours), and then put them in the refrigerator for refrigeration, and the storage time should not exceed 1 day.

Precautions for leftover rice:
1, wash your hands before cooking.
2, cooking properly, ensure that the temperature does not exceed the dangerous range during this process (the dangerous range refers to 4 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, and bacteria can grow and multiply rapidly within this range), and rice should be eaten as soon as possible after cooking.
3, quickly cool leftovers to reduce bacterial growth. Put the leftovers in a shallow container, cover them and put them directly in the refrigerator for refrigeration or freezing. Try not to leave rice or other hot food at room temperature for more than an hour. If the leftovers stay at room temperature for more than two hours, they should be thrown away.
4, food should not be stored in the refrigerator for too long, usually not more than three or four days in the refrigerator and not more than three or four months in the freezer.
