Shoot I'll leave rice on the counter all day sometimes... I should stop doing that.
I leave mine in the rice cooker but no more than a day. It's starts to get slimy after that and clearly inedible.
Chubbyemu on YouTube. Watching his videos will change your approach to food safety as well as a lot of the ordinary things we often do or think about doing that are, in fact, extremely dangerous.
Lol I'm interested now, but the name made me think the channel was about a self-deprecating overweight fan of emulators...or large flightless birds, now that I think about it.
I had a Vietnamese roommate who used his rice cooker so that he made a bunch if rice and always when he wanted more he just clicked the cooker on to reheat it. And it took him sometimes like five days to eat it.
Five days of rice sitting in room temperature and occasionally being heated. Mental. That's not food prep that's a science experiment.
Dude was also often opinion that meat only gets better when it starts to smell a little in the fridge and you'll just pour a lot of soy sauce on it and down it goes with the forever rice.
Apart from being a biowaste eating lunatic he was a good roommate.
I've heard many stories like that over the years.
I'm of the (possibly wrong) theory that their gut bacteria have adapted to handle it. The same way you'll get sick if you travel to India or Mexico, etc and drink the water but locals are fine...
