Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a med student, I take lunch seriously. I have a routine and it works for me, it needs to work for me because I don't have time to mess around. I started off with the smaller 16 oz Thermos food jar and it served me well. I wanted to expand into something a little bigger for the more hearty, casserole type items and keep the smaller size for soup. This 24 oz size is perfect for anything similar to spaghetti and meatballs, restaurant leftovers, chicken and rice, eggs and vegetables, etc. Warm up whatever you have, throw it in this Thermos, and have a hot lunch while everyone hovers around asking you what smells so darned good. No more running out to find something within walking distance and having to settle for whatever unhealthy thing that may be and unnecessarily spending money. At night I pre-portion whatever I'm taking the next day into a container that I can heat up in, and pop it in the microwave in the morning before putting it in the Thermos. Voila. I love this Thermos. The wide mouth is perfect for eating out of and not making a mess, it also helps to clean up thoroughly inside later on. It's almost indestructible and looks great - you can't beat stainless steel construction. IT DOES NOT LEAK- enough said about that. It actually does keep your food warm or cold for 9-12 hours. When I get it ready in the morning around 6 am, I put hot water in the Thermos, set the lid over it and come back in about 10 min, dump out the water, and put the warmed food inside till lunchtime. When I sit down to eat at noon, the food is piping hot - sometimes i even have to let it cool off before I can eat it. You can use this Thermos exactly as advertised for a hot lunch, clean it by hand or in the dishwasher, drop it on the floor, and trust that it won't leak all over your car. My last few semesters in school would have been a lot more of a trial had I not been able to depend on having these products to deliver my lunch daily to keep me going for a full day at school. I love having something that does what it is supposed to do and does it well. I would buy this product ten times over, funny thing is it's such a great quality I probably won't ever have to replace it. I do heartily recommend this Thermos food jar as a quality product with many uses.
