My husband is forced to eat out for lunch. So I bought her this thermos for him to eat from time to hot (instead of eternal sandwich). My greatest fear was that he ends up with a cold meal. But no, on the contrary, by putting boiling water in the morning (around 7:00 am) in the thermos, before putting the food warmed, her dish was still hot, even burning the afternoon (around 12.30). The only problem is that the container is not very large (small aperture). It is the equivalent of a pasta box. We can not put chicken leg in it! Note that there is a spoon provided with! A quality / great price
