Can it keep hot food hot? Most reviews are about keeping the food cold which I know it does fine.

I'm not sure if it keeps food hot. I bought this for my wife and she uses it only for keeping her food cold. I have my doubts on if it could keep food warm. Maybe for a short time.

By "hot" I mean it is too hot to drink without burning my mouth (at first), and a few hours later it means too hot to drink without masochistic discomfort. Don't know about cold - haven't tried. WHOOPS! I thought you were asking about the Thermos bottle I purchased at about the same time. I have not been concerned about the bag's ability to keep items hot or cold. Sorry.

I'm not sure, possibly. I've only ever heated cooked foods in it. The hot plate gets pretty hot, I'm just not sure it would get hot enough for that.

It defintely keeps the food hot for at least six hours. My only complaint is you can microwave using it.

It depends on how long you can heat up the thermos and how hot you can get the food you are putting into it. I've found that it will be hot to warm depending ... either way, I was good with it.

I have used it only to keep us warm on cool nights and it really does a good job....I have not tryed to cook any thing on it so I don't have an opinion on that.

Hi Dustin...it keeps it hot, just as hot as it went in....my daughter hasn't had anything in it for more than six hours at a time but it either remains very hot or very cold....so far no complaints....

It is not like a Thermos. It plugs in and warms up food. It will keep it warm as long as you keep it plugged in. This item will not keep anything cold.

yes, it works great! It does get hot pretty quickly, so keep it on something that can take the heat.

Hi. I use it every week day for my child's lunch. It is really good. Almost 12 hs hot as it says. I prepare it at 7am and it is hot at 1 pm for lunch and a lot more too. Perfect choice for hot food.

No. It doesn't get that hot. Only keeps your already hot coffee from getting cold.

It's possible to hold hot drinks in it, but it's not a thermos bottle and therefore won't hold the temperature. I'd recommend the insulated version if you would like your drink to stay hot.

Good question. Unfortunately I have never used it for hot items. Sorry I could not be of more help. Great for keeping things cold.

No, it does not keep food hot. It is not insulated. I keep cold items in this container. I do not heat up either in a microwave because of the potential that the plastic may transfer chemicals to the food when heated.

It keeps food warm when it is plugging in. It is not a thermos but a food warmer.

Yes - somewhere in its product description, it gives the amount of time it will keep a hot beverage hot, and a cold one cold. I load mine up with hot green tea in cold weather, and an iced drink in hot weather.

Yes, it does get hot. Use your silicone cover or an oven mitt. It's worth it, the food its delicious!
