You asked, "Sorry I don't understand what does the cooler mean. I want to find a lunch box to keep my lunch hot instead of cold, Can it work to keep warm?

I have never used it for keeping something warm, but I imagine it will work for that too. I know that it is the best cooler I have ever owned for keeping things cold over an extended period of time.

Probably not, without a heat source. When using it as a cooler we must use ice as an agent for cold.

The difference is the hard lining. It will keep hot items at a moderate temperature but works best for cold since it is designed to sustain moisture. You want something with a soft lining for keeping things warm because it holds heat better.

I haven't done that because I have a fridge at work to keep my lunch cool. I would probably try using those ice packs to keep your stuff cool versus ice...I have used them before and it keeps my stuff cool all day.

Both the label and the Coleman Website say it is a cooler and keeps drinks cold. I'd say no, but some other answers on other questions say that people keep coffee and soup in them, so I guess you cold try.

I send lunch with our daughter, and there is an ice pack with it. When she gets home, it is not still frozen- or cold for that matter. I pack her lunch at 8:30, and she gets home at 4:00. I am sure it keeps until 12:00, which is all I really need. May I suggest a small Igloo cooler, instead? I can say that it is a great, sturdy product. Easy to clean- no smelly cracks that don't clean well. I am very happy with it, and it will last for years.

No idea, but it really works! Even keeps frozen lunches frozen for a couple of days. http://aolanswers.com/questions/nucool_technology_work_735905188530900

The box is not thermally insulated, so the food will be room temperature. When I want to keep the yumbox colder, I freeze a drink, one of those collapsible pouches and pack it next to yumbox. Then the kid has a "slushy" and his lunch stays cold. I the yum box and frozen drink pouch inside a thermos soft sided semi thermally insulated lunch box.

The bag is insulated, so it should keep things warm as well as cool. Haven't really tried it though. I heat my lunch at work usually. Very happy with this product overall. If you want something designed specifically to stay warm check out warmandtote.comMy daughter bought a couple of these for my grandsons and they work great

These are the ice packs I bought that work perfect "Fit & Fresh Cool Coolers Slim Lunch Ice" and as far as containers I bought "Easylunchboxes 3-Compartment Bento Lunch Box Containers" and they work great! (Ice packs and containers were both bought from amazon) Hope this helps!

I have no problem with my cooler. I put cold drinks that are already cold in the cooler and keeps them cold, but it takes longer if the drinks are room temperature.

The metal does not retain the heat of the food. It's not insulated. My standard lunch would be a salad, PB&J; sandwich, and some fruit and nuts. I have taken leftovers but needed to warm them up in the microwave after I transferred the contents (pasta) to a microwave safe bowl. Do not attempt to use the stainless lunch box in the microwave. On the plus side, the lunchbox still looks great and I still get compliments on it.

You must put already cold things in. It keeps things cold but doesn't make things cold.

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.

There's no temperature control. It just cools to around 40 degrees. So it's great for keeping food nice and chilled. We usually pack yogurt, cheese, juices, lunch meat, water, etc.

I can't really speak to that particular question, but I am not happy with its performance. It doesn't keep the temperature consistent and half the time it seems like things are actually warmer than when I put them in there.

When I use it it really keeps stuff cold. It's keeps things incredibly cold. I love it for the purpose of keeping the bottles safe for my child to eat. Think if you got a bottle sleeve and made the bottle extra warm it should stay nice and warn in the sleeve. If you want to keep it warm you might want to look into a thermos. Best of luck.

Actually I never use it to keep things warm. I use it when I go shopping at 2 different stores to keep food cold when I travel from the first store to the second store.

Technically the answer is no. Because the cooler isn't a freezer the inside temperature will be higher than a freezer. But with that said, this will keep things cold for a long time. I brought this to the desert once and after sitting in the sun for days there was still some ice left, no much ice, but impressive none the less.
