Lunch boxes that keep food warm for son and daughters lunch.

[Itwontrainallthetime]

I would like to switch between cold packed lunches and warm so the my dc have alternatives in their lunches. They could have school lunches but they don't like them and they like home cooked food. I was wondering what lunch boxes or anytips for keeping food warm, ones good for soup and pasta.

Something like this perhaps? Thermos Stainless King Food Flask, Midnight Blue, 470 ml www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001ET6P9Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_seWHBbGCWFMX1?tag=mumsnetforum-21

Are they allowed hot food in? Schools near me don't allow flasks for H&S reasons

I havent found one that keeps food hot just luke warm

Isn't warm food, not hot, a worry for bacteria?

Depends how large a container you want - I have had a Stanley food flask for years. It's brilliant at keeping food properly hot, as long as you pre-warm it with boiling water before filling with soup or whatever. But, it's quite large, maybe too big for a child, and it's not cheap.

I’ve got an Aladdin tiffin box which is supposed to keep things cold or hot. I only use it for cold things as I can use the microwave, but it’s v leakproof for soups as long as the top is screwed on properly.

Found a lunch box that would be perfect but it's £38😣

We have this one OP. It keeps soup properly hot from about 7.30 am to 3 pm and pasta to about 1pm. After that it gets luke warm Decent size for lunch.
