I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you’re tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

    The “keep warm” function on a typical rice cooker isn’t 100° warm, it’s a food safe temperature like 140+.

    As long as the cooker is working properly, it’s fine to eat hours later. I wouldn’t go overnight or anything.

      Why wouldn’t 100° be food safe? Is it because that would only kill stuff in water when it boils, but solids won’t boil?

        Sorry, slightly ethnocentric comment there, forgot to specify I was speaking in Fahrenheit.
