Can this be used as a hot bag to transport cooked for one wants to keep warm

I wouldn't use it for hot food because the interior is a kind of plastic that just might stick to a dish. Someone suggested wrapping the dish in a towel, but I think the heat might distort the lining.

The interior is plastic so, tho I haven't used it for hot, I think if hot dishes are wrapped in something like a towel, it would work great.

This does not seem to have the kind of insulation one typically sees in hot pads and such, so a hot pan from an oven would not be a good idea.

Ths is a plastic-lined carrier designed for cold food. I would not recommend it for hot foods.Check out the set of 2 casserole carrying totes by Collections Etc.

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

Yes it could be transported to a picnic, but keep in mind that it is an electric grill. The heating unit sits in the bottom of the grill and projects heat upwards to cook your food. The heating unit comes out so the bowl and lid can be washed. I did not actually keep the grill because it was damaged in shipment. It is light weight and would dent easily unless handled with care. Hope this is useful information.

No, these are definitely not made to hold hot foods. For chili or soup, you would be much better off with styrofoam or waxed paper containers.

We do not recommend boiling these bags, but you can heat cooked foods in a FoodSaver bag in a simmering pot. Only place bags with frozen food inside the simmering water. The coldness of the food will keep the bag from becoming too hot while the food is heating up. Temperatures above 170 degrees F can possibly compromise the integrity of the bags depending on how the bags were stored, handled, or used after purchase. This is why we recommend that you do not use temperatures over 170 degrees F.

Yes，the handle can get hot, but it is fine with a little help of cloth wrapped on.

It's a well insulated lunch bag. I got it for my husband but it's fairly large. He has a hard time making it full even with a big ice pack in it. It can easily work to pack lunch for two people. The less it is packed, the harder time it has keeping stuff cold. I'd imagine that it would be fine for keeping stuff warm as well because it's just well insulated, it doesn't have a built in cold element in it. however we have thermos food containers and they are really amazing for keeping food hot. It will keep food scorching hot for hours and hours.

No, it is not made for that. It sits securely on top when cooking in the microwave but the silicone is soft and pliable and doesn't form a spillproof seal. You would not want to carry food in it in a lunch bag or box.

not really..... its for heating in a microwave. But you could freeze it and use it for a cold pack also.

Yes you would be able to use it for hot or cold because of how it is made inside. Very durable.

I never thought of doing that but that is certainly a possibility. I think as long as you don't use it to heat up your food in it, it wouldn't be a problem. As long as it's clean and washed well you should be okay.

Yes it can. I have even put hotter things on it. It is very durable. I love it.

I`ve never done it this way but believe it`s not a good idea. The material the item is made is not flame resistance. In a microwave the energy from the microwave passes thru the material. A toaster oven is designed start heating from the outside which would mean before the potato hot 25% cooked, the bag would ignite! Not a good idea, sorry!

I am not sure as i have never tried it without the bag..the bag itself is padded, therefore it feels as though it is insulted to help keep the food warm. With the bag and the food not warmed to steaming (as it's for my 5 yr old) the food stays warm for five hours, so maybe it would not be as long as that if you did not use an insulted food bag.I hope I was a bit helpful.

The food travel bag is isolated and thus keeps food or milk cold or warm for some period

yes! my daughter uses it for soup sometimes, it stays hot to warm for 4-5 hours

NO........That would defeat the purpose of hot and cold and I don't think you could get both pyrex casseroles in one carrying container
