- A mom divided foodies after showing off her bulk butter chicken meal prep
- Some said that you get food poisoning from thawing frozen rice; others disagreed
One mom wowed hundreds after sharing the bulk meal prep she made for her picky 3-year-old daughter, but not everyone is on board with the idea.
The Australian woman, named Sammy, posted on Facebook, where she explained how she made butter chicken curry and bulk rice so all you need to do is grab a ziplock bag out of the freezer when you need to whip up dinner.
While many were impressed by the idea of saving time, others criticized the fact that reheating rice is not always recommended, and if you let it thaw before reheating it again, you can get food poisoning.

Sammy wrote on Facebook: ‘Can I just praise this mom hack I did for my three year old’s bulk dinner?
‘I made a bulk butter chicken and bulk rice. After cooking the rice, I put it on a baking sheet and put it in the refrigerator.’
She continued: ‘Once it was ready, I took it out and cut it into rectangular slabs that fit perfectly in the zip-lock freezer bags for snacks.
‘So all I need to do is two tablespoons of butter and chicken and wham. I have made 14 meals, which means I can take out one at a time. I am so happy with myself.

Many who saw the post were quick to compliment Sammy on his impressive meal prep efforts.
‘I need you in my life. This would save me a lot of time,” wrote one commenter.
‘Genius! I have a picky four year old who would live on honey mustard chicken. Stealing this idea for nights we don’t want a fight at lunchtime,” added another.
A third wrote: ‘OMG! Absolutely love this idea!! Single mom of a little boy here, working away from home and that will help out LOTS! Thank you’.
But not everyone thought it was a good idea, and some raised concerns about the rice and reheated it.
‘I thought you weren’t supposed to reheat rice? I have no idea why. I only remember being told when he worked in a kitchen in the past and I never questioned the chef,” one person commented.
Sammy said that he lets the rice “thaw” and then reheats it, which also proved controversial to some.
One person wrote: ‘Food poisoning requires food to sit at room temperature for more than two hours. I think it would cause food poisoning.’
But others said that it’s safer to put rice in the freezer than in the fridge:
“Rice is one of those foods where bacteria grows very quickly, so once cooked it’s better to freeze it than keep it in the fridge because bacteria can’t grow in sub-zero temperatures,” one person said.
According TasteYou can freeze cooked rice for up to a month.
To do this, simply chill it as quickly as possible by placing it in a shallow container in the fridge and once completely cool, transfer to freezer bags in desired portions, flatten to 3cm thick and push out as much air as possible. possible. before closing hermetically’.
Taste suggests that you label it with the date so you don’t keep it too long.
Then, to reheat it, place the rice in the refrigerator overnight to thaw, and then use it within a day of thawing by heating it fully in the microwave.
