I want to remind everyone to exercise extreme caution when handling rice in
such manner.  There is a bacteria (or other type of nasty, can't remember
what or name) that develops in rice, in about 4 hours.  It is impervious to
hot or cold.  That means freezing it, or boiling the sh*t out of it won't
kill it.

Make sure that your rice never remains in the danger zone for more than a
couple hours.  Danger zone being from about 4C to about 65C.  That includes
the time it was sitting on the counter cooling down, and the time reheating
etc...
