    Just cook extra and freeze it if you have the space. Freezing actually makes it better, besides the normal starch retrogradation there is also water sublimation. Win/win

      Oh, I didn’t know that! I’ll have to try it. Do you know how long it tends to last in the freezer (best guesstimate is fine, not looking for expert science)?

        I know I have kept it for a few weeks in the freezer. Unless it was vacuum packed you would probably lose too much water after that and you might end up with uncooked Uncle Bens

      Interesting, I prefer it left at room temperature overnight (semi-sealed in the rice cooker). Out of the fridge I find it too hard to break down and stir, and frozen seems even more cumbersome.
