If I put hot food in 2 containers, does the top containers food still keep warm after 5 hours?

I usually pack my daughter's lunch at 7:30am and she eats lunch at 12:30pm and her lunch in both the top and bottom containers stay warm. I pack things like dumplings or fried rice or stir fries and pastas. I hope that helps.

Sorry, I haven't started to use, but as before I buy this brand of products, heat preservation performance was quite good。

The lunch jar we ordered can keep food warm around 6 hours. My daughter brought hot food for lunch during the winter time. She never complain about the "cold food".

I have not tested it long term-just to transport an already hot pot to a dinner and serve directly. I had another insulated bag which this one is replacing due to some unfortunate damage (unrelated to the crockpot) that kept food nice and hot for at least an hour. This one seems a bit thinner, so I am thinking at least 30 minutes? It does fit nice and snugly to the appliance so I would expect it to retain heat reasonably well.

There are 2 separate containers (the upper has a removable divider cup)which both go inside. One has a thermal non-watertight lid and is designed to keep food hot. Both need to go inside the outer jar to be stable, so side items will get heated to at least room temperature. If you want to keep the sides cold, you should get the other type that has a thermal jar and separate side containers. Zojirushi Mini Bento Stainless Lunch Jar Set

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 heated food in the containers without damage to the lid. However, the lids can get sucked into the container due to the heat differential inside and outside the container. When that happens, it's a challenge to get the lid off.

These are great containers, but they are not like a thermos. Hot or cold items can be put in them, but hot items will eventually cool and cold items will eventually warm went left on the counter. Hope this helps.

It's not heated. The individual containers are microwaveable, but you have to heat the food for the thermal portions and then store it in the thermal container. It will stay warm/hot for a long time - the design is good - but it doesn't heat itself.

I have used the round insulated container in other 'bags' and it still stays hot. (The 2 smaller oblong containers are just thick plastic storage containers - much better at insulating that standard "tupperware", but they are not "insulated" themselves.) Hope this helps.

Personally, I don't use a plastic container. I use a glass container. The hot plate gets hot enough that the glass with scorch my fingers a little bit, if I remove it while still hot. As a result, I usually just, unplug, open the top, and eat out of my dish while it is sitting in the case. Usually takes 30-45 minutes to heat your food to piping hot.

This was bought as a replacement for unit in Pyrex container hot-cold container. For foods right out of the oven, it usually keeps food warm for about 4 hours. The hot pack is an odd size, 9x12, for kids lunchbox, though.

I've reheated lunch foods such as leftover General Tso's chicken & rice (1 hr), and a variety of soups (1/2 hr). It reheats foods evenly and doesn't overcook.

This isn't an insulated container - it's just metal. I don't think it will keep your kids' food warm, and I also think the size is a little small for a child's lunch. This might be OK if you are trying to keep food cold if you use it with an ice pack.I have some Thermos-brand containers that keep food hot for multiple hours for my children's lunches. They have a Thermos 10-ounce food container that keeps food hot for 5 hours, though there are many other brands. I would definitely look for an insulated container that's meant to keep food warm.

It does keep your food warm for a good hour or two depending on how hot the food is when you put it in the Bentgo. But I have found that if you put the Bentgo in an insulated bag, it stays warm for 4 hours.

It will depend on the temperature of the air around it. My younger son takes one to school for lunch. They have to leave their lunches outside. His food is warm by 2:30 when he gets out. My older son takes frozen drinks for after school sports. They are still frozen at 4 when he starts practice. His PackIt stays inside all day.

Pretty much the 12 hours it says. I microwave my child's lunch for 3,5 minutes at 7 am and it last really hot till 1.30 pm. But once she did not eat it and at 7pm it was still warm. It is by far the best thermos I had. I bought 3 other thermos for this purpouse and none of them is this good. My advice: go for it. Sorry for my english.

I warm up food all the time at work and I leave the top on. I just un-fasten the snaps to allow air to escape the container. I have not had any issues.

The thermal container round mental container, yes. The snap lid "tupperware" ovals, not for super long. They are not insulated. IF you want that type capability, move up to the Ms Bento. Still small but the 2 stack into the thermal lunch jar that is insulated.
