Hi! Wondering if this would work for a child with food sensory issues? Would it keep pieces of cut up chicken or hot dogs warm?

I'm not sure if it keeps food hot. I bought this for my wife and she uses it only for keeping her food cold. I have my doubts on if it could keep food warm. Maybe for a short time.

This item is great. I don't think a regular length hot dog would fit but would depend on the brand of type of doy and the jar is a bit too large for a child's (5-10) hand to open in my opinion.

No. I would not buy this item for a five-year-old. This item consists of scalding hot plates during and after use. The child could sustain mild to sever burns or other injuries if he or she should accidentally touch the plates or mishandle the appliance.

I have not used it in this way but I think it would work. I have had good results keeping plates with food on them warm.

It will require some attention. It's not like a microwave. I have had food get a little burnt from too much heat and too little attention.

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.

Not sure if anyone has answered yet: The side containers will not keep food warm at all. It will work for neutral temp foods or keep food cold if used with an ice pack. Be careful to not contradict your effort: the insulated (large container) is intended to keep foods hot. So if you pack an ice pack for the side dishes, you defeating the purpose of this set. Depending on how/who you're using this for, I would forgo this container and move up to the Ms Bento. It gives you more space and allow you to serve a larger portion (if you want to). Hope this helps!

It would keep the luch warm for them if it was packed in the morning. The only problem is the unit is very hot when it comes out of the micro wave so I would not wanting a 5 or 6 year old touching them at that time Older kids OK or it would be OK at lunch time or even at morning break

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

Good morning Connie, This item could be used for both mentioned in your question. It keeps your food hot. Of course, if you are serving a buffet style meal it's recommended to keep a check on the temperature of the food. I hope this helps. Thanks and have a great day!

I tried it for five hours with hot food. It was warm enough to eat for me. The bowl in the middle and bottom keeps hot food better, but the upper bowl is a little worse.

It depends on your 4 year olds attitude and strength and how tight you close it. Usually there are adults around to help them though during lunch. It does keep things hot you do need to follow the directions though.

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.

My child is 11 and she handlle it perfectly. It's quiet easy. I'm not quiet sure about the hot dog, but probably it will. The important thing about this thermos is that your food will be hot!
