How much time can it maintain the same temperature for the food in inside?

I don't know as I usually serve the meal straight away. I have taken it out of the oven and stood the meal on the side for a few minutes and the meal is still piping hot. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

As soon as the cooking heat is removed, this pot will start to cool down. It has NO insulation. The rate of cooling will depend in part, on the ambient temperature around the pot. I use it a lot for grilling meat and If I wait till we are ready to eat before removing from heat, it will keep food at serving temperature throughout the meal - - - 30 minutes or a little more.

I don't know. I just use it for roasting and it is perfect for that. It is thinner than earlier versions but it still produces the same results--in my opinion.

That all depends on the ambient temperature and how much product is inside. But I think you are safe for at least 24 hours.

I didn't remove the food from the inner metal cylinder so my food stayed warm for about 3 hours. I left the inner part inside the base because I didn't have pot holders to remove it at work and it gets hot. I don't know how long it would stay warm if you unplugged it and left the lid closed.

It will not be as good if it is not chilled. The colder the better. You must take ice cubes or frozen pack with you. It can be set out butshould be chilled 12 hrs in the fridge. Hope this helps.

No you cannot. What you can do is go ahead and put in the time you want and when that cook time has elapsed the unit has the keep warm function which keeps the food warm until you turn it off.

The steam time depends on the item and the voltage if your microwave. I do broccoli in 3min. And fish 10 or until opaque...

Yes but u need some time . My husband takes stuff (soup,chili) from frig plugs it in about 8:15 or so and it is hot by 11;30 for lunch!

My personal view is that 5 years is about all you can count on before the food quality and taste begins to degenerate. Sustained storage with temps above 75 degrees or so will reduce storage time.

Hello there, it usually takes around 8-10hrs at 30-35C here in EU, which is never the case here. So a Rice cooker(In Keep Warm function) or yogurt maker is required to keep the constant warm function for the duration(Mostly Overnight). The consistency tends to be on liquid side but more viscous/pouring in nature. Keeping it for more than 10 hrs in hot area will make it sour and if your temp is too low, it will take on an unpleasant flavor often associated with spoilt milk.

I've been keeping it at room temp. But I'm not an expert. I hope the supplier answers.

My wife says it takes less than 1 minute to reach temperature. Hope that helps.

Yes, same temperature as the liquid inside. So, be careful when you pour the very hot water inside the bottle.

It depends on the environment. In a normal office, it has kept milk cold in the side pouch up to 8 hours. Food in the containers about the same amount of time if not longer. The side pouches are susceptible to surrounding heat far more than the main compartment. In the office, I would say food would be kept cold for up to 10 hours. I would say if you are keeping it in the car all day during the summer, maximum of three hours.

It holds the food more than 6 hours. If you want to keep your food hot more than 6 hours, here is what you do. Boil your water first, pour it in the container and keep it closed for about 5-10 mins. Your food should be kept steamy for up to 8 hours. I hope you enjoy it.

Depends on how cold the food is but usually less than an hour. And then it keeps it hot until you want it. I love it and use it almost daily.

I would say no more than 6 hours. I packed this for my husband's lunch once.. warmed up the containers with boiling water, as directed, then placed hot foods in it (aruond 7am)... he said it was just "warm" enough to eat at lunch time (12/1pm) but not hot.

I don't believe this unit can be used for that purpose . It is geared toward keeping food that has already been prepared ahead of time warm for several hours. It works well for that purpose.
