ok, well last week I left a pot of rice out overnight and had to throw it out, and I made sure I wasnt going to do that again! Well this time, I cooked the rice last night, and ate and watched tv and then I got on the computer and it was sitting out for about 2 and a half to 3 hours and I put it in the fridge. Is it still good to eat today?? Just making sure I do not wanna be sick!

It was just yellow rice, nothing else added (except butter and i put it in firsr before the rice..) and well my rice cooked all the water off before it 25 minutes.. the cooking time.. but i added more water. I think its ok. i've left out rice this long too and it was ok. I wouldnt eat it tomorrow though

It should be fine after just 2-3 hours, just no longer than 4 hours in the danger zone. Which doesn't start the minute you turn the burner off, but when them temp of the rice drops below 140F, then the 4 hour window starts. My best educated guess is that it'll be fine today.

I've done that and it was okay
I have had parties and dinner was chinese, you know there is rice in that. the food will sit out for 2-3 hours before anyone remembers it.
I have always put the food in the fridge and reheated it the next day.
rice is good as long as it isn't too hard.

Heat the rice to 150F before eating and it will be fine.

You need a kitchen timer, girlie! If it didnt contain any milk or animal based products, it should be okay. If it did, chuck it and start over-its not worth the risk.

NO. When you're in doubt, throw it out.
