Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is our third purchase of this thermos. It's a perfect size school lunches. It holds exactly 1 1/2 cups of food or soup. Like any thermos if you want hot food you need to heat up the thermos before you put your food in...So I boil water and fill the thermoses with boiling water to heat the cold metal inside. While this is happening I heat up the food HOT. When the food is ready, I dump out the hot water from the thermoses, and refill with the hot food. After 4 hours in the thermos my girls say that their lunch food is steaming but not too hot. Let's face it....You can't expect to get hot food from a cold medal Thermos. Preheat it and it works like a charm!
