ThelmaLou Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Oldest DS has a special diet for his bodybuilding/strength training and wants to take brown rice and chicken (with a little BBQ sauce) to school in a Thermos. (This is his daily lunch, and he'll be going to a University Model Private School next year with no microwave access.) He wants to know if a Thermos will keep this hot. I'm unsure of how well it will work since there's not a soupy enough medium in what he wants to take. Anyhow, we don't have any Thermoses right now, but I don't want to buy one if it won't work.

LMA Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yes, but some keep foods hot longer than others. You can check how long a certain model will keep foods hot. Keep in mind that a rice mixture may get thick sitting in the thermos though. Right before I fill a thermos, I put boiling water from a kettle and let it sit for 5 minutes or so. Then I dump the water and put the food in right away and close the thermos right away tightly. This will keep the food hot for several hours.
