Does this keep food warm? How long?

No, it's not thermal in any way, so it doesn't keep it any warmer than any other container would.

This is not a steam warmer that requires water. This is a crock pot:turn to low & it will keep your food warm.

The "Warm" button is not addressed in the owner's manual. When I tried it, it just heats to a low temp that cannot be adjusted. So I am assuming it is meant to keep food warm.

I use it to keep my tea warm. After the prescribed two minutes in the microwave it is pretty hot, and the warmth gradually decreases over about 20 minutes.

Yes, this thermos keeps food hot, but I recommend heating thermos inside w hot water first,and adding very hot food.( after u empty the water)

Not real long. About 45 min. Maybe if you wrap plate in foil it would stay warm longer.

Alex, these aren't designed for any kind of cooking/heating of food. But they do keep cooked food hot for a few hours!

It gets warm but not too hot if you follow the directions, you don't want to handle it without either a towel or the cover between it and your hand.I just tested mine, following the directions I put in my microwave for 4 min (depends on your microwave) and it got up to about 155. Which is really good for me and my dog. (yes I use it for my feet and back too) I've had it stay warm over 12 hours when it's well insulated. Just make sure they don't chew on it.

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

It's relatively quick between and hour to an hour and a half. I've left food in there as long as 4 hrs and it didn't do any more than warm the food. It really is handy

About 2-3 hours hot, but for up to 6 hours it keeps the food warm. I can't complaint. I am just glad that the food is still warm for their lunch. Hope this helps. ^^

No, it does not keep food hot. It is not insulated. I keep cold items in this container. I do not heat up either in a microwave because of the potential that the plastic may transfer chemicals to the food when heated.

Keeps the food warm all by itself! But maybe that would help if you wanted to keep it hot for a lot longer.

Yes! It cooks AND holds things warm! TONS of recipes online and lots of good slow cooker recipe books! Have fun!
