Why shouldn't we leave cooked rice outside the refrigerator?

If you are one of those people who leave leftovers in a pot for long on the stove, don't miss this video!

It is said that if leftovers are left outside the refrigerator for more than two hours, bacteria will grow quickly on them and consuming such food may cause food poisoning!

This is the sample of rice that was quickly cooled after cooking and stored in the refrigerator.

And this one is the cooked rice that was left on the stove in the kitchen for hours.

Let's do an experiment together...

As you can see, the microbial contamination in the sample kept for a long time outside the refrigerator is much higher!

So remember not to leave leftover food on the stove for long and be sure to store it in a covered container inside the refrigerator.
