I thought slapping it in the microwave irradiated all the bacteria.
Yes I'm a microwaving, curry lover.. Any leftovers from the night before is microwaved to a good heat, rice, chicken, all of it!I've always just popped Indian leftovers in the microwave and cooked them for about a minute so they are lukewarm. Yummy. Either I have a stomach of steel or re-heating food doesn't do anything untoward to you insides.
Did you eat the thing or not?!

Hope those that said re-heat feel guilty now (and are praying he choked on a bone so they are not sued by those he has left behind)!
NHS advice on reheating rice...
http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/can-reheating-rice-cause-food-poisoning.aspx?CategoryID=51
Yes. You can get food poisoning from eating reheated rice. However, it's not the reheating that causes the problem but the way the rice has been stored before it was reheated.
How does reheated rice cause food poisoning?
Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive.
If the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores can grow into bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that cause vomiting or diarrhoea.
The longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that the bacteria or toxins could make the rice unsafe to eat.
Tips on serving rice safely
- Ideally, serve rice as soon as it has been cooked.
- If that isn't possible, cool the rice as quickly as possible (ideally within one hour).
- Keep rice in the fridge for no more than one day until reheating.
- When you reheat any rice, always check that the dish is steaming hot all the way through.
- Do not reheat rice more than once.
Of course you can.
Loads of people will tell you not to, but in my experience I've been reheating chicken and rice for 15 years and never had food poisoning.
you believe wrong.I believe that whatever nasties you get in rice, once they're there, will not be killed by re-heating.
