According to the product description on Amazon, in most case the bottle can keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold for more than 12 hours and the bottle will not retain order or taste. So, you can put hot soup and add a hot dog too.

Wish I could tell you, only have done cold items. Would imagine it would work though

Not for soup. There is an inner container that should be okay for pasta sauce.

Hi AlexaYou can certainly use to keep hot dogs warm after cooking but I would not recommend using to cook the dogs. It's a great warmer. Worked great for my son's party to keep food warm.

I suggest to soak the cups in warm water (not HOT, but little warmer than luke-warm) before pouring the hot soup...And yet, may be the soup could be not boiled hot hot...

I haven't had any problems with the use of my thermos. I regularly put soup in mind at home at about 7:30 and I normally don't eat lunch until about 1:00 at the earliest and it has been still piping hot. I assume that you are doing everything right but I will just inform you what I do and what I've noticed. I bring water to a rapid boil, place it inside of the empty thermos and close the lid and leave it like that for 15 minutes. In the meantime I am rewarming up whatever soup I'm going to put inside of it and it's usually piping hot. I pour out the hot water and pour my soup inside. I have noticed that if I leave the soup out like if it's not placed in the refrigerator that it gets warm which is strange because you would think that it would stay uber hot, however if I place it inside the refrigerator it is really really hot to the point that I have to blow it before eating it and has steam come out. I think this is the best thermos ever. Sorry it's not working out for you.

I don't use it for hot food, I use a cold pack. I would say it is not insulated so I don't think it would keep hot very long at all.

I have used for soup, I add hot water to the thermos while heating soup on the stove. The soup stays warm.

i havent used mine for hot drinks , and would probably avoid anything HOT HOT . one of my coworkers also has one , and said it got screwed up when he put it in the dishwasher instead of hand washing it , so i would think anything HOT HOT would ruin it . . but if its just really warm , it should keep it warm for quite a while .

I have put if in the microwave to warm the water within. 37 seconds without the lid seems to be sufficient for warm but not hot. I'm assuming it might melt if you kept it in too long.

Hi. I have these for ice cream. But believe they would work great for hot soup The lids appear to be vented with a second layer beneath. Hope this helps!

Did you use the stainless pot? I have never tried making soup with it - just rice and steam (buns, left overs, eggs, meat etc). I don't think it would be good to make soup because soups usually take hours and the water outside the stainless inner pot will dry out before the soup is ready. You can make congee with it but soup is probably better with regular pot or a croakpot. Hope that helps.

If you could fit the full kettle into something like a plastic milk crate and make sure it's secure and won't tip over you might be Ok. The lid is a hinge so you would maybe want to cover the interior pot with plastic wrap then foil. This kettle won't re-heat the soup hot enough to combat any bacteria growth that occurs during transport due to unsafe temperature holding. So transport soup this way at your own risk.

I haven't because I don't think it's deep enough to really cook soup (except for perhaps a very fast-cooking type of soup.) The flavors and ingredients wouldn't really meld, IMO. Also, although the lid seems very secure and tight, I'm not sure it would seal in the cooking ingredients well enough to do the slow-cook thing for several hours without losing too much liquid.

yes, we also use it just as hot water pot for instant coffee and tea. we took the basket and pipe out. the problem is that after a few hours, it drops to about 80C and not keep it at 95C as we expected. usually we add some cold water and wait until it is re-boiled (takes about 5-10 min)

As recommended I put boiling water in the thermos for a few minutes before putting the hot food in to heat up the thermos and then yes, the food stays warm for four hours. Not piping hot as it was when first put in, but still heated. The wide mouth makes it really easy to eat from too.

I have the same question, can you actually cook meals and boil water, or doesnt it get hot enough, except to keep already cooked food warm?

No. That wasn't an issue at all. I cooked chili in it and took it to a church for my son's team meal (football). I didn't slop any chili, burn myself, or anything. I did put it on a towel in a laundry basket, but the bands held the lid on well. I really like mine a lot. Just watch the temp. I ruined a whole pot of soup by setting it on warm instead of low. Warm is to keep hot soup warm. Low is for cooking.
