Lemmy

Welcome to LW Cooking, a community for discussing all things related to food and cooking! We want this to be a place for members to feel safe to discuss and share everything they love about the culinary arts. Please feel free to take part and help our community grow!

Taken a nice photo of your creation? We highly encourage sharing with our friends over at !foodporn@lemmy.world.


Posts in this community must be food/cooking related. Recipes for dishes you've made and post picture of are encouraged but are not a requirement. Posts of food you are enjoyed or just think like food are welcomed as well.

Posts can optionally be tagged. We would like the use and number of tags to grow organically. Feel free to use a tag that isn't listed if you think it makes sense to do so. We encourage using tags to help organize and make browsing easier, but you don't have to use them if you don't want to.

Just cook extra and freeze it if you have the space. Freezing actually makes it better, besides the normal starch retrogradation there is also water sublimation. Win/win

Oh, I didn't know that! I'll have to try it. Do you know how long it tends to last in the freezer (best guesstimate is fine, not looking for expert science)?

I know I have kept it for a few weeks in the freezer. Unless it was vacuum packed you would probably lose too much water after that and you might end up with uncooked Uncle Bens

Interesting, I prefer it left at room temperature overnight (semi-sealed in the rice cooker). Out of the fridge I find it too hard to break down and stir, and frozen seems even more cumbersome.

That's an option though you do risk Bacillus Cereus, and an extended unpleasant potty break.

The lack of food safety makes my eye twitch.
