Hold on, are you leaving the rice out on the rice cooker (on warm) for five days straight? Or are you putting it in the fridge overnight and just putting it back on warm when you want to eat it?
I know slow cookers can keep a soup going for multiple days safely, but I haven't heard of leaving rice in a rice cooker... I was under the impression that the moisture in rice makes it likely to grow bacteria that will make you sick. I've always been advised to put rice in the fridge within an hour of cooking it, and to try to only reheat it once.
I would love to know if there's another way! My rice cooker is already one of my favorite kitchen appliances. Thanks!
The rice remains in the pot for an extended time on the keep warm setting. The cooker temperature is maintained at a hot food safe zone regardless of moisture content, so the rice will be safe to eat. Another way is to do it in slow cooker (keep warm) or dehydrator at 140 F.
