My daughter is on the autism spectrum and only likes hot meals for lunch. Last year, I packed warm foods in a thermos but she had trouble reaching a fork down to the bottom through the narrow circular top opening, so I gave her a plate and she would dump the thermos contents onto it. Then I packed fruit on the side. This worked okay, but I'm wondering if there's a good product that keeps food warm but opens like a tv tray, so we don't have to deal with dumping, missing the plate and making a mess, cleaning an extra item, etc. And for the new item to fit into another container so that fruit and a dessert can be packed on the side. And for the new item to really keep foods warm -- with the thermos, I would pre-heat with boiling water. Thanks for any ideas.
As an aside -- her brother is a more typical lunch eater and he has used a planet box for 8 years and it looks brand new. If anyone clicked this post looking for something like that, I highly recommend.
