Hi Amy,
Thanks for your comment! It’s a good idea to wait till room temp, because you don’t want to put hot food in fridge or freezer. I normally put these rice balls in freezer before I go to bed.

Thanks Mari! I shared this tip with some colleagues and we’re all going to try it. Is it critical to leave the rice at room temp until cool? Why? What is the best way to reheat – micro?

Hi Brenda,
Thank you for your comment! Glad that this trick was helpful. I read that 50% of food in the US is wasted… I’m going to post many tips to optimize what you already have and made, and make life easier too! Say hi to Erik and girls!

Thanks Mari – this tip was really helpful. I actually had this issue last night. Normally I cook minute brown rice b/c Erik can’t eat starches and it doesn’t seem worth it for just the little bit that the girls and I eat. Last night I actually made the real thing on the stove and hated to throw out what was left. I will definitely try your tip next time.
