Would this work in an insulated lunch bag? I know my bag is large enough to hold it.

Yes. It might still be heavy to tote in a bag. Unlike a solid cooler with a grab handle. The insulated bag will help keep your food cold longer.

Yes, that's what I use it for and it works great! It is usually still mostly frozen at the end of the day. I am very pleased with it.

It is insulated. The bottom is nice and wide too to fit large Tupperware. Love my igloo lunch bag.

It's a well insulated lunch bag. I got it for my husband but it's fairly large. He has a hard time making it full even with a big ice pack in it. It can easily work to pack lunch for two people. The less it is packed, the harder time it has keeping stuff cold. I'd imagine that it would be fine for keeping stuff warm as well because it's just well insulated, it doesn't have a built in cold element in it. however we have thermos food containers and they are really amazing for keeping food hot. It will keep food scorching hot for hours and hours.

I never had the opportunity to carry the bag in that much heat. It is well insulated and I think with extra cold packs it may be just fine. The bag was a lot larger than I thought it would be so I do not use it for work everyday. More of a cooler for special occasions.

I would say so but it will depend on how big it is. I currently use a divided container that measures 5 by 5 by 4 inches and I still have space for more on the sides and top of the container. The lunch bag measures 9 by 6 by 6.

based on the measurements you have provided, I would say no. In order to keep the food fresh, it needs to be banded. These Bentgo boxes fit wonderfully in their own insulated bag available from Bentgo and they also fit nicely in the insulated 31 lunch bag.

It is insulated but I'd have hot lunches in a thermos container of some sort. This is a rather large lunch back. Look at the measurements. If you had hot items in a regular tupperware container, I'd think it'd only stay warm a short amount of time. I used this bag for my 3rd grader and she took soup a lot but I had put her hot items in one of these: THERMOS FOOGO Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel 10-Ounce Food Jar, Blue/Yellow

I have not tried it in a lunchbox, but I am pretty sure it would't leak there. I have had it in my gym bag tilted over, and it didn't leak.

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

Probably, although I do not have an Igloo lunch box. It fits beautifully in mine. The pieces are each separate too. I use and love my containers every day I go to work. I've done so for over 3 months, without going out to lunch once.

I have been using my insulated lunch box with a reuse able ice pack in it. It has worked great so far. The bags don't leak and don't take up a whole bunch of space. I pump at lunch so the food leaves and the bags go in.

NO A Stanley Thermos WILL NOT fit inside. I still have to pack mine in a backpack!

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!

I guess you could, but once you remove the ice cubes to put your food inside, i am sure it will lose it coolness regardless within several hours. The bag is meant to be frozen by folding it up without placing any contents in it. For me any insulated lunch pack will work just as well with a ice pack. What I do is the night before I place a bottle of water in the freezer, about 3/4 of the way full as use that as my ice pack, and then when it melts I have a nice cold drink of water, the alternative is much cheaper than this bag.

Yes, the lunchbag is insulated, but it is not as thick insulation as some other bags. However, I bought this set for my son, and I love it. It's a well-made set and it was definitely worth the money.

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).

The cooler bag is insulated but is not designed to maintain heat for several hours. A thermos is recommended for keeping hot food hot. Additionally, I do not recommend putting an extremely hot container inside the cooler bag as the inside could be damaged by excessive heat. If a cold lunch is packed, an ice block should be included to maintain a cold temp for several hours. Food should already be chilled when packed. Do not store in the sun or a hot car. - Kelly Lester, ceo, EasyLunchboxes
