Does this keep food warm? Or just keeping cold?

I usually only use it for cold. The lunch box keeps cold for hours. We love this lunch box soo much I purchased 3 more.

yes, it will keep it warm for a certain time but it won't be hot. Overall, we really like this lunchbox. My son used it all school year and now for summer camps.

Hello! I'm not 100% sure about heat as my sons school asks we not pack up items to be heated but it stays cool for about 2 hours. Longer if we place an ice pack on the exterior lunch box we purchased. Hope this is helpful!

Sorry can't personally answer for the heat part because I only use it for cold foods. But it definitely works in keeping my food cold.

You must put already cold things in. It keeps things cold but doesn't make things cold.

Yes. The bag is insulated but won't stay cold by itself. I use a small ice pack to make sure my food stays cold longer.

Only for keeping food hot after being cooked - put HOT water in dish to warm it up, then put cooked, hot food into it. I use it to take casseroles, veg., meat and gravy, etc. to church functions, shut-ins, people who have had surgery, etc. Very good to have. keeps food very hot for a couple hours; warm for 3-4 hours.

No. It is not insutated so it does not keep food hot or cold. However, if you put it in an insulated bag, that would help to get you to lunch time. I put a freeze/ice pack in the insulated bag and it stays very cold because the metal transfers the cold. I love my lunchbots and they hold up very well.

It stays warm throughout my lunch break which is 30 min. If you want it to stay hot throughout, you can leave it plugged in and use it as a bowl. Our faculty all has one, and we each love them!

It is insulated. Does a pretty good job of keeping food cold with ice pack.

Yes, it keep food warm. And tells you how long time has passed. I usually wait for 30 minutes after it finish rice cooking, so that any extrac steam gets dried up or consumed by the rice

Generally, the lunchbox is quite good at keeping things cool. There is a removable plastic tray that fits snugly into the outside rectangular box. I make my lunches the night before, then store the tray in the fridge overnight. When I put the tray in the outer box in the morning, everything is very cold and seems to stay chilled until lunchtime. I think the silicon seal acts as a bit of an insulating layer. If I wanted to keep foods cold for more than a few hours, or if the weather were really hot, I would put the entire lunch box inside a soft-sided lunch bag along with an ice-pack. However, this makes it pretty cumbersome for the kids, who then have two separate containers to open (and lose!) which is another reason I don't find this lunchbox very practical.

Warm, yes, but not extremely hot. If it's too hot to eat, don't pour it in directly.

it stays on warm setting until you turn it off manually. it is not a very hot setting, just the temp that you would want your food for immediate eating.

I've never put food in the cooler just beverages. I have taken this cooler fishing and to the beach all day with drinks in it and they stayed cold all day long. I do put ice in with the drinks to keep them cold.

I have never tried to keep anything cold in it. We have only used it to keep things warm and transport warm liquids. Sorry.

It totally works for that as well! I put sandwiches, rice, yogurt and it seals the food in its compartment. There is no leaking whatsoever. However, I only put food in that doesn't need warming or heating up as I prep lunches the night before and put in fridge.
