This.

I also do this and my son says his food is still warm. Of course I got the tip from DCUM.

+2 Also, I have found that if food is cooked (or reheated) on the stove vs in the microwave, it tends to stay warmer longer. Anything that I need to put food in thermos for DD I either cook that morning or warm it on the stove.

This as well. You can also use it as a test to see how long it keeps things warm. Put the hot water in for about 30 minutes, dump out, pour new hot water in and seal. Check in 5 hours to see how warm it is and you'll get a good idea if it'll stay warm. Food does tend to hold onto heat longer though, so if it's not quite warm there's still a good chance the food would be warm.
