hi im looking to sell some food at a function this summer that requires it to be kept in very hot water for about 6 to seven hours. will this work?

Absolutely. I use them for brewing All-Grain craft beer, and I have to have a temp of 165 F-175 F for 2 hours to convert the barley starches into sugars, so your coffee will be nice and hot for a good 8 to 10 hours, at the least. I hope this helped you.by nirvanabrewery8/2/2014

Yes it should. I use it for mashing grain during the beer brewing process which requires me to hold water and gain at a precise temperature around 150°f for at least one hour. My temp drops no more than one degree in that time.I would caution you that temps in excess of 180°f might cause the inner lining to warp.

When mashing grain using this cooler, my experience has been that the liquid loses about 4 to 5 degrees per hour when starting at about 150 degrees. It will not maintain the highest temperature for 6-7 hours. As another comment said, the inner liner will warp with temps at 180 degrees.

I don't think the water needs to be hot. These types of devices are used in swimming pools as well. There was nothing in the directions that said the water had to be at a certain temperature.

The water stays hot for approximately 10 minutes; that is, hot enough for a cup of tea or coffee. I'm not sure how long you're looking for, but if you kept the burner on, I'm sure the water would stay hot for much longer. Just remember, when you are done using the kettle, it should be emptied to avoid any rusting on the inside. I love my little kettle...I just wished it whistled.

The instructions say not to use it with very hot liquids. You might be able to do it but it may not last as long.

It depends on how hot it is, but I would wait 10 minutes before serving and it will last about an hour.

It might work for a short while. But ultimately, if you wanted to keep something hot, I would suggest a thermos.

The temperature tops out at about 300 °F and would dry out or burn the food. I usually put the food in about a half hour before to warm it.

I would not recommend this. Although you can control the temperature to prevent burning, the milk will still create a film that coats the inside of the kettle - making it difficult to clean and very gross ... Stick with water.

Yes, it will keep it hot for 10 hours. THe key is to put hot water in it 1st and let it sit a minute. Then pour that out and add your "keeper" hot water.

Use an icepack...it will keep few hours. I am in the caribbean and while the ice melted, it kept the drinks cold enough for a extra hours. Please note the outside does get wet.

You would need to heat the water before pouring into the pot. This pot will keep the water hot for over an hour.

I'm sorry it took so long to answer, I was trying to get a hold of the company. It lasts for about 2 hours under continuous use before needing to add water. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Didnt find any conclusive evidence to support this, but it seems to go bad after 24hrs. Especially during summer if not refrigerated after opening, it seems to go bad sooner.

Hot??, that's subjective. If unopened it would keep hot liquid fairly warm. Best you can expect, subject to outside temperature

I only tried warm water (not hot) because it contains plastic parts. for the warm water, I feel 5-6 hours it can keep the temperature. of course it is related to the environment temperature and how warm the water you input also.

I went on a camping trip,and tried it with river water.Put a drop of the blue die in that comes with it and left in the sun,about 6 hrs later it was clear,tried it and tasted great.That was last summer ,and i did not get sick ,so guess it worked.I believe it is good for 500 uses.

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.
