My son likes only hot lunches and is picky in terms of how fresh the food tastes.
Foods that hold up well are chow mein, chicken tikka masala, rice and chicken teriyaki, hot dogs (dog goes into food jar), chicken wings, burritos.
Bacon sandwich is good too but not very healthy.
Pasta and breakfast sausages are a thing of the past

I don’t know how valid the experiment was. She only filled the thermos’ with boiling water. For lunches, Thermos are filled with either nonliqiids or chunky liquids.

I did this at home. Only one kept pasta with marinara sauce in the safe range for the time my child eats at school. Every other one was unsafe.

And the hot water first helped every one of them (I had 5 different containers that I tried).

Did you do it with identical thermoses?
