I am steaming some rice and wondering how long - long grain white rice will keep in the refridgerator?

General rules of thumb for most foods kept in a home setting is 72 hours. Make sure to cool it to fridge temperature within 2 hours to avoid creating your own bacteria farm :whistle:

I'm a big rice eater. I often keep it there for up to a week, with no problems.

Just add a few teaspoons of water, microwave, and it's good as new.. :D

You can also freeze cooked rice. Keeps a heck of a lot longer.
