Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After searching and reading several reviews about the variety of thermos food containers, I settled on this one. I was sick of microwaving my food everyday, and following a suggestion from a colleague, I decided to start using a stainless steel thermos to keep my food hot! Oh my goodness, you will NOT go wrong with this item! I put soup in it at 7am in the morning, and it's still piping hot at 1pm when I eat lunch!! It will hold an entire can of Chunky or Progresso soup, which are normally two servings per can, so you have more than enough to eat! It's a bit pricey, but trust me, it is so well worth it! I use this everyday! I just ordered two more---one for a Christmas gift,and the other to put my oatmeal or grits in, when I'm rushing in the mornings and don't have time to eat breakfast at home. Oh yes!! There's a tip that's included with the thermos: If you're putting hot foods in it, then put some hot water in the thermos for about 5 minutes before adding the hot food. It extends the time that your food will maintain it's heat. It's not necessary as I've used it without putting hot water in it prior to adding my food, and my food remained just as hot. I've actually placed this container in my Built NY lunch bag with ice packs to keep my other foods like yogurt and fruit cool, and it still didn't affect the heat within the thermos. Also, there is a cute little spoon that extends to full sized enclosed in the lid. Very handy! You won't go wrong with this one! :)
