I drop a yogurt cup into it for my son lunch and it holds it from about 8:30 until he is eating lunch 12:45ish. I would imagine you would get same results or better with homemade yogurt since the pre-packaged cups leave some air space in the container.

well insulated compared to other lunch bags. Cool things will say somewhat cool by lunch time. Freeze a yogurt and pack with lunch and all will stay cool and yogurt will be great to eat by lunch.

As a microbiologist, my answer is yes - any foodstuffs should be refrigerated after opening the container

Short answer, yes. But, my Vita Clay maintains a temp around 114, which is OK for yogurt. It maintains this temp for up to 8 hours so I assume it would also maintain it for 24 hours - of course you really don't want to do more than 8 hours for yogurt.

I send lunch with our daughter, and there is an ice pack with it. When she gets home, it is not still frozen- or cold for that matter. I pack her lunch at 8:30, and she gets home at 4:00. I am sure it keeps until 12:00, which is all I really need. May I suggest a small Igloo cooler, instead? I can say that it is a great, sturdy product. Easy to clean- no smelly cracks that don't clean well. I am very happy with it, and it will last for years.

These containers are not insulated. You could put yoghurt in them, it seals pretty well, but you would have to put them in with ice or "blue ice."

Michael, I'm not sure how you're making the yogurt. I put the warmed milk withe culture mixed in into a large glass bowl. The temp I set the proofer on is 109. I let it sit for 3 1/2 to 4 hours then remove & chill in fridge. Perfect yogurt every time.

yes. If you hear swishing around in there, it's not cold enough. Leave it in the freezer for at least 24 hrs. It takes a while.

Once opened, I keep it covered in the refrigerator.I have kept an open container for more than three months with no loss in quality

It will not be as good if it is not chilled. The colder the better. You must take ice cubes or frozen pack with you. It can be set out butshould be chilled 12 hrs in the fridge. Hope this helps.

I put a boiling water as instructed, leave it for 5 minutes, empty, then add HOT food in it at 7 AM. The food is always almost cold there after 3.5 hours. Also, the surface of the container after adding food is pretty warm, so we can't pack it in the same lunch box with yogurt etc. Unfortunately, this product doesn't work for us :-(

Yes it will stay reasonable cold if yo dont open it, Try it yourself to see what ya think.

Granted I eat mine pretty quick but the longest I've had one open and not refrigerated is 3 months and it was just fine. If you do something like make your own Vegemite CheesyBite with cream-cheese then it definitely should be refrigerated but for the most part it seem very shelf stable.

Hello there, it usually takes around 8-10hrs at 30-35C here in EU, which is never the case here. So a Rice cooker(In Keep Warm function) or yogurt maker is required to keep the constant warm function for the duration(Mostly Overnight). The consistency tends to be on liquid side but more viscous/pouring in nature. Keeping it for more than 10 hrs in hot area will make it sour and if your temp is too low, it will take on an unpleasant flavor often associated with spoilt milk.

No need to freeze the container. It will keep drinks cold an average of 3 hours due to it's insulation.

This isn't an insulated container - it's just metal. I don't think it will keep your kids' food warm, and I also think the size is a little small for a child's lunch. This might be OK if you are trying to keep food cold if you use it with an ice pack.I have some Thermos-brand containers that keep food hot for multiple hours for my children's lunches. They have a Thermos 10-ounce food container that keeps food hot for 5 hours, though there are many other brands. I would definitely look for an insulated container that's meant to keep food warm.

I think so. I've kept small bottles of milk and small yogurt containers in it, though never for longer than three or four days.
