Jakarta –
Some people often leave their food for another time consumption. Although sometimes it is still good, but some types should not be consumed again.
When buying or cooking a dish, often the food does not run out at one time. As a result many leave their food to be stored so that they can be reheated at another time.
Remaining food is often the right choice for those who want to consume practical food. It also helps save expenses.

Although some leftover foods have a better taste when re -heated, there are several types that should not be consumed anymore. Because these foods may be more easily contaminated and turn dirty when stored all night.
Summarizing Mashed.com (09/04), if you have 5 types of residual food, you should not be consumed again.
1. Rice

If you have residual rice at home ranging from white rice or processed rice such as fried rice, you should not be consumed again. Because staple foods such as rice contain bacterial spores called Bacillus cereus.
Unfortunately this bacterium will not die in the rice cooker except cooking it at 120 degrees Celsius, according to McGill University. The heat will activate the spores. Once cooked, if the rice is left warm in the rice cooker at temperatures between 10 Celsius and 50 Celsius, it has the potential for Bacillus cereus spores to develop.
If you want to eat remaining rice, make sure the rice can cool quickly. Second, do not reheat rice more than twice. But the best thing is to get rid of and cook again.
2. Pasta

Likewise with pasta that should not be consumed again if it has become leftover. Pasta is also a place for Bacillus cereus spores to develop.
The rest of the pasta can be consumed by keeping it hot. According to the University of Florida Extension, pasta is still safe for consumption when they are quickly cooled. If it can reduce the temperature of the paste to 5 degrees Celsius in one hour or more after cooking, it can be concluded if the paste is still safe.
