As long as you use very hot water at the start- it will stay warm for 2 hours..

After placing prepared heat packs in both top and bottom sections of the carrier, I put 9x13 Pyrex dish in top section and the food stayed hot for 4 hours! When I have used only one heat pack, the food has kept hot for at least 3 hours.

This warms up nicely (not dangerously hot) but only stays warm around 6 hours. Snuggle Safe stays just as warm for 12+ hours.

my husband uses it to warm food from a fridge... fridge keeps food at 40 degrees..... takes about 40 minutes to get it hot..... baby bottle warmed to room temp should take about 15 minutes max..... but you have to put liquid in a glass jar with a tight seal.... do NOT put plastic bottles in here!

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.

They all kept the food warm or cold. But top container is not as warm or cold as others. And it lasts about 6 hours.

Not long. Being aluminum it cools fast. It is probably cool by the time you are finished eating .

I would say no more than 6 hours. I packed this for my husband's lunch once.. warmed up the containers with boiling water, as directed, then placed hot foods in it (aruond 7am)... he said it was just "warm" enough to eat at lunch time (12/1pm) but not hot.

It can keep piping hot food as as long as 5 hours in the bottom 2 containers, although I think it can keep even longer. I pack my daughter's food at 7am and she reports that her lunch is too hot to eat immediately at 12pm. Hope this helps.

After you soak it in water and saturate it fully, you can microwave it for up to 1 minute. It would stay hot for 30 or more minutes if it is in an insulated container. it just depends on your microwave and how you use it. Primarily, this is for cold storage and transport and pain relief. The heating benefit is secondary.

When I have used my hot packs, they have kept the food hot to warm for several hours say maybe 5 hours or so. Depends a lot on if the package is opened a lot. The more it is opened the less time it will stay hot. The person who said the hot pack is HOT when taken from the microwave it correct. But if left in the container, it should be okay for a child to touch by lunchtime.

This product must be plugged in to AC power to stay warm. Once the food is warm it cools over about 15-20 minutes.

The removable food container is not designed to keep food cool. Food should remain refrigerated until you are ready to begin reheating it with the Lunch Warmer.

I have found that if properly used it will keep food warm 4-6 hrs depending on outside temperature of where it is stored.

I bought this for my parents. They say their food stays hot 20-30 minutes depending on the plate used, they use polishstone ware plates which is very heavy & they say about 20 minutes. They do heat in a little longer than the directions says. Hope this helps.
