[Sad news] Had to toss out a pot of besbarmaq and three days worth of perfectly cooked, fluffy rice because the fridge died while I was sleepingNow it's nighttime, I ate jackshit today, I'm hungry and am too crestfallen to cook and eatTime to cook more rice, I guess
>>22051077how long was it unrefrigerated?
>>22051096>t. Retard who doesn’t understand food safetyIf perishable food remains unrefrigerated for at least 4+ hours at room temperature, it’ll have grown enough bacteria grew or the bacteria have grown and died that toxins are left behind in it. Don’t even think of eating rice after 12 hours at room temperature. Pathogenic bacteria are also tasteless, and while the human body is very good at detecting spoiled tastes or food, it’s not good at detecting pathogenic bacteria or e-coli toxin until after it’s in your system.
>>22051096idk anywhere from 5-9 hours
>>22051105Is it true that rice can poison you if you eat it after 3+ days?
>>22051077this moron threw out food that was probably still good.
>>22051105if the refrigerator died but was unopened things in it should stay cold for a while. i wouldn't get up in the morning and immediately throw everything out if the refrigerator died during the night.>>22051113if you don't refrigerate it, yeah. all the cases of people getting food poisoning from leftover rice were just leaving it unrefrigerated on their counter for multiple days for some reason.
>>22051109dude I bring food to work every day and I work 12 hour shifts. I eat 12 hour unrefrigerated leftovers every single day and have for 10 years.>>22051105various cultures literally ferment rice at room temperature overnight and eat it and they aren't all getting deathly illnesses every day. this is actual schizo levels of food paranoia. Ive eaten 12 hour countertop white rice for 30 years and haven't gotten sick a single time.
>>22051105holy fuck you are an actual pussy
>>22051105>room tempit was in the refrigerator, brainlet.
