Alternative to hot food flask - any recommendations please?

[Plumcorkyduff]

Following on from the unqualified success of my thread on laundry baskets, I am back again for more of your wisdom.

I need to have a product that keeps food for 4.5/5 hours. Currently using a Thermos food flask which certainly keeps it hot, but isn’t that appetising when trying to eat a cottage pie or a lasagne. Would also like more of a ‘plate’ or mess tin thing? I’ve seen some on Amazon which you can plug in, but would appreciate any recommendations you have.

Thank you all from someone who is heartily fed up trying to eat a cottage pie out of a flask with a long spoon.

Insulated food container. e.g. Thermal Insulated Hot Food Lunch Container.
No idea if it works.

You can buy heated lunch boxes, plug it in at work in the morning, they work like a slow cooker or don't you have access to a microwave at work?

Slow cookers don’t reach the temperature required to reheat food. Microwaving is the better option.

Hi - thank you for your replies. Tbh I still haven’t done anything about this 🫣😁. My DD travels to training twice a week which is 90 minutes away, and trains for 3 hours when there so food needs to be for 4.5 hours so she can eat it on the way home. No microwave available.
