Now, I know what you're thinking: "What's the big deal? I've reheated rice in the microwave a million times, and nothing's ever happened." But, my friend, that's just Luck talking. The truth is, reheating rice can be a bit of a science experiment, and if you're not careful, you might end up with a batch of food poisoning on your hands.
But don't worry, I'm not here to scare you off from reheating your rice altogether. In fact, the USDA says it's perfectly safe to reheat cooked rice, as long as you follow a few simple guidelines. First, make sure you've stored your rice safely in the fridge at a temperature of 40°F (4°C) or below. Then, when you're ready to reheat, add a splash of water to the rice to prevent it from drying out.
