... would it still be able to reheat and eat the next day? I've heard that cooking oil can become RANCID if exposed to AIR. So because I used oil to make the dish, could storing it in the fridge uncovered cause the oil in the dish to become rancid by the next day? Or does it take a much longer time for that to happen?
For that matter, how long WOULD it take a bottle of cooking oil to become rancid if the cap was left open? Would it be days or more like months?
I just want to be make sure it's okay to leave food with oil in out uncovered, and still be able to reheat and eat it later on.
