Reheating Chinese

Been eating rice since ever really, I reheat rice all the time and have never been ill.

Is it me or does the OP make many posts about food?:p
 
i always reheat chinese, usually about 22 hours later (it's put in the fridge before i go to bed)

2:30 - 3 mins in microwave so it's piping hot

never had dodgy guts from it, and i get dodgy guts really easily now..

I've heard that reheating rice can cause food poisoning. Is this true?

Uhm my family do this on a regular basis... with rice that's not even been put in the fridge for the one/two days since it's been cooked.
 
I regulary reheat rice and I've never had a problem, although to be fair the rice is always frozen shortly after its cooked.

I live in Japan, and it seems to be the norm here. Usually I make a big load of rice in the rice cooker, wrap individual portions in clingfilm and throw them into the freezer. When I want to eat the rice i put it in the microwave for a few minutes until its steaming hot. Never had any problems at all, and I know a lot of japanese people who do the same.

I also eat raw eggs quite regulary, which again is the norm here, and I've never had any problems. A bowl of steaming hot rice mixed with a raw egg = delicious!
 
Aye, reheating food is just bashed into you from the supermarket etc.

Nothing wrong with it unless its a few days old thats when bacteria start.
 
Come, never had a problem from re heating chinese food, rice or noodles, I mean if a chinese place reheated rice you could tell and food standards would be in straight away.

A friend of mine, and a few of his family recently fell ill with food poisoning due to re-heated rice, though I've never been ill from it before myself, and I have had reheated rice on more than a few occasions. I've only ever had food poisoning once that I can remember, when I was 7, from a dodgy pizza :p
 
As a student, I would frequently wake up in the morning / late afternoon to find a remaining takeaway either chineese or indian by my bed. Used to eat fresh off the plate there and then. I'm still here.

OVer a Billion Chinese do it everyday, I've done it as far back as i can remember, and i don't even have a microwave.

I seriously doubt that. I would think only a small percentage would actually own a Microwave and much of the population is very poor. I also doubt they reheat rice as they would cook it from fresh. There is quite a lot of rice in China.

Being Chinese myself i can tell you that there are A LOT of times you have rice left over. You keep it over night until the next meal, and yes it is reheated.
