keeps food hotOct 01, 2006
By IY
"Mom of four"
After packing cold sandwiches for lunch for my kids for 3 years, I saw this at Bed Bath and beyond. I bought two of these food jars and started to pack hot lunches for them a few times a week. Initally I was not sure if it really keep food hot, so I was contantly asking them if it was still hot at lunch. One day I had used the food jar for hot chocolate (in addition to using one of my "cheapo" thermos) A few hours later, when i was pouring the hot chocolate out, my cheapo one was barely warm, while this food jar was still steamy hot that i had to wait for it to cool. so yes, it does work well. (i am glad i bought this one over the plastic barrel looking ones at bed bath and beyond-that one was only $5)
I recommend before filling the food jar w/ food, to fill it w/ hot water for a few minutes to "heat" up the thermo. while waiting, you can cook your food or heat up your food.
this works great except you can't fill it right to the top, when you close the lid it will spill over. also because of its tight seal, it might be harder for kindergarteners-1st graders to open at school. sometimes my kids ask the lunch aides for help in opening it. But i will be buying one more next year when my 3rd kid starts kindergarten.

 FantasticNov 20, 2005
By oion
I used to use this every day for lunch/dinner between long classes. It's surprisingly efficient and will keep something reasonably heated for half the day. From my experience, it will keep things hot longer the more fluid it is, but I liked to put things like lasagna and meatball/pasta with lots of sauce in there. Mmmm. Be sure to wash thoroughly, never put in the dishwasher, and gently clean the silicone O-ring. If you're worried about leaks, something I've never experienced as a student, just drop it in a big ziploc bag. The orange dimples on the Thermos Nissan version are indented, making the lid easier to remove. It also seems to be better quality in build than the plain "Thermos" food jar version.
P.S.: Always preheat (or precool) any steel insulated container with boiling water (or place in the fridge) for at least 15 minutes or so. When you put your hot food in, you will notice that the outside of the container exudes heat, especially through the cap. This is normal. The performance is much better this way.

Truly well insulatedOct 19, 2008
By Paul Goodman
"engineer"
I have been looking for a long time for an insulated container that really retains heat. Most of them don't work well - but this one does.
I did a careful test comparing this to another typical 10oz stainless food contained that is supposed to be vacuum insulated. I pre-heated both with 172 degree hot water, then filled each with more hot water and verified the water in each was 172 degrees. Then I closed both and left them on the counter (68 degrees) for 3 hours. After three hours, the water in the other one was only 97 degrees, while the water in this one was still hot at 133 degrees. That's a huge difference. This one will actually keep your hot lunch hot.

Stylish thermosFeb 24, 2006
By Richard Martha
Beautiful design is always nice but the reason I bought this one was for it's practical use. It's small (but perfect for a toddlers lunch), very easy to clean because of it's design and stainless steel will last a long time.
The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the proportions, could have been less high but wider which would have provided easier food transfer.

I *heart* you, Nissan thermosJun 08, 2007
By Donna T
Oh, sweet Nissan thermos, I love you so much I would make out with you if I could.
I use this pretty much every day for lunch. It keeps soup hot for up to 5 hours, especially if you follow directions and let it sit for 5 minutes with boiling water before filling it.
It's the perfect portion size for lunch. It also does a magnificant job keeping chilled items cold and crisp. It's spillproof and has survived several punishing drops on the asphalt from my messenger bag.
