1. You can store cooked rice for about two-three days in the refrigerator. Make sure the container is covered, to avoid the loss of flavour and the mixing of flavours with other food items stored.

 2. Don't pull out the container and throw it right into the microwave when you have to reheat it. Add two tablespoons of water for each cup of cooked rice and heat it on a low flame in a pan or in the microwave.

 3. Don't be in a rush. Keep a check on its consistency- if it tends to stick, then add some more water and even a few drops of oil (if required) and wait. In a few minutes, you will see the rice flakes looking fresh.
