What if you only need to use 2 of the 3 containers? Do you still put the empty third container in the thermos so that they don't get knocked around?

Thats personal preference. I think its easier to keep all three in but it doesnt change anything if you only put two.

The containers can only fit in one way especially since the top one is apart of what the lid screws down on to. It's probably best to put all containers in otherwise it may not be as effective. It's a really awesome product though. I use it all the time and it's the best lunch box I've ever had.

Yes you keep them together to keep it secure. I love mine I use it practically every day. Well worth the money.

Both containers are separate and so you would have to move the smaller one or place it elsewhere if you need to open the larger container. I primarily keep the smaller container nearby with food from the larger container so I don't have to lift as much when its time to feed.

That's happened a few times with mine. I solved it by A: not being too rough with the lunch box once it's loaded, making sure the lid is on and locked properly. If this doesn't take care of it, do what I do and just take a folded table napkin, (fabric). Place it on the very top of the tray lid before you place your thermos in the trough. This closes the space between the thermos and the handle so it really can't fall out. You must be off roading or something though. Hope this helps.

No, but we don't use the lids for much. Occasionally we will want to store something in frig so use lid to keep the stuff fresh. Not much help for you. Sorry.

I haven't used this product but since heat rises and cold falls, I would think placing the hot container above the cold container would work best.

I had this too. I ran 2 full containers of just water through it. It's fine now.

I would recommend that you get the unit really cold and the drinks really cold before you put them in. Add ice packs around the drinks. The Thermos ones work really great for this purpose.

there is really no separation, so probably not. The case I have is only big enough for the one rectangular pan at a time. I think even if you placed the 2 smaller pans in there, I believe the proximity of the two, that the hot pack would not stay very hot and the cold wouldn't stay very cold.

I found a solution for this. I don't have this particular cooler (Yet!) but I have others. When I want to use a bottle or similar, smaller container, I first wrap the lower half of the bottle (or desired beverage container) with 1 or 2 wet paper towels (or just one folded in half, depending on your container). This makes it thick enough to stay snug in the cooler. It also keeps the beverage just as cold as if you used a can. I primarily do this with "The Fridge Freezable Cooler" drink holders. It works AMAZINGLY well!!! Actually freezes the paper towels! Hope this helps!!

ya know what? I dont bother I have one without a lid but if its worth it for you to pay postage for just 1 lid- you may be able to call the pyrex company and if I were you Id order a couple to make it worth the postage. something tells me you nuked it by accident?

On 3 of the 4 canisters I can pick the entire empty canister up by the lid, the seals are so strong. However, on the second largest, the seal is weaker, but it is still airtight. That canister arrived slightly out of round, but a gentle squeeze rounded it out nicely. That's my experience; hope it helps you.

I was unsure myself, so I performed an experiment with water. The water leaked through into the 2 smaller compartments; however, due to using water, maybe a more viscous liquid would not leak? I would air on the side of caution, and not place liquid in the container unless you are able to keep it flat all day.

I read in at least one of the reviews that someone had contacted thermos and they offered replacement seals. I've thought of trying to get a spare set of them just in case the need ever arises. I'm going to google "thermos" and see if I can track them down :)

I have heated food in the containers without damage to the lid. However, the lids can get sucked into the container due to the heat differential inside and outside the container. When that happens, it's a challenge to get the lid off.

Oh yes indeed...I felt the same way my last thermos was terrible...held odors couldn't get to every nook ...you will not have to worry about this one...... cleanup is a breeze!!! The entire top comes apart...Absolutely love it. Hope this helps.

Actually you are instructed to place the containers in the refrigerator before using them. It's probably to help keep the mixers cool. But you also put your ice in the glass before choosing your cocktail so that your drink is ready to drink once it stop.

The container is plastic and not insulated. I think Thermos makes a stainless version that may better serve your need.
