I put hot food in 1st &amp; 2nd container and cold salad in top container My son said salad was a little warm? Is this only for all hot or all cold?

Insulation is primarily done by the outermost container. You can mix hot and cold in the smaller containers, but they are not well insulated from each-other.

I use mine for solid food every day . I take meatballs , chicken ,cubed pork , and vegetables. I leave my lunch in my car even during winter and lunch has always been warm. I would recommend it for any type of food.

Think of a regular cooler with food in it that is cool, but not cold, and with no ice. If it is hot outside, not long at all. If you unplug it for the evening, keep it shut, and it is not too hot outside, then it will keep reasonable cool (not cold enough for milk, but enough for chees and vegetables). We did this most nights while camping.

you can store both items but you will want to store cold items in top container. As for coldness yeah it doesn't stay that cold but I've put yogurt in there andit was still somewhat cold.

The tray where you put your veggies goes in the freezer before you use to keep everything cool. But I put a paper towel under it so if it defrost it will not drip on my greens.. it a very good concept to keep salad cool if you don't have a fridge at work or etc.

No. It's not insulated, and it's not a leak-proof seal, so it does not maintain temperature. I've found it great for sandwiches and salad (with dressing packed separately).

Yes. The minute you put food on it drops. I've only cooked on 5 because of this and it still doesn't come up to temp. What's worse is that when you flip food it doesn't get a good sear on the second side because the temp is so low. It's not the weather and it's not constant lid opening. So what is it? I'm incredibly disappointed so far.

It isn't insulated, so it would be most likely cold by lunch. It is intended to be microwaved for heated items.

I would say no more than 6 hours. I packed this for my husband's lunch once.. warmed up the containers with boiling water, as directed, then placed hot foods in it (aruond 7am)... he said it was just "warm" enough to eat at lunch time (12/1pm) but not hot.

I think we used one large bag of ice. We covered the bottom only, then placed the bowls of salad on top

I put everything together. The only thing you have to make sure of is the time needed to steam each veggie. You might want to steam some separately and then put everything together. Enjoy !

The salad kit sometimes are diff sizes...i am sure the sandwich container you put inside like up to 3 container. Hope it helps you.

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

Hi - i've only used the thermos for hot foods. I've heated food at about 7 in the morning and it's been hot until I eat the food at about 1:00. - never tried it for cold foods - sorry

Hi. I use it every week day for my child's lunch. It is really good. Almost 12 hs hot as it says. I prepare it at 7am and it is hot at 1 pm for lunch and a lot more too. Perfect choice for hot food.

Well this has not insulation, it's a thin layer of stainless steel. If you put this in a cooler the food will stay cold. I use it for salads and no hot food.
