[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is a great link with what types of thermoses to get and which ones are warmer. It also explains that heating up the thermos with boiling water before use doesn’t work, is a waste of time, and makes food soggy.

I’m not super impressed by that study.  They only ran one test and the product they were testing was hot water.  So if you are storing hot water in your thermos, it’s not necessary to prewarm it with hot water.  Not clear if that conclusion would apply for hot pasta or other solids.  If I can find my food thermometer, I may run through test myself just because I’m curious.[/quote]

I use one for my own lunches and have done it with and without the hot water. The hot water does help in my opinion. I just fill it with tap water and let it sit while I make my lunch and then dump it out and wipe it dry before I add the hot food. Also, filling it really does affect how hot the food tastes. Definitely fill it up if you want your food to stay hot. I sometimes eat up to 8 hours after packing my food and it’s always warm if not hot when I eat it.[/quote]
