We love using the thermos for my kids lunches. First of all my kids love leftovers. So for us it’s a win win... we use up food and my kids get a delicious healthy lunch that they’ll actually eat! A thermos is not for just soups, it’s really for any food you want to keep warm. Just follow this simple method!
The key is a high quality lunch box friendly thermos. Amazon. Amazon. Target.We have one Thermos brand and one Sub Zero. I like both equally. If you can find one that is top rack dishwasher friendly, that’s a big mom win!
Step 1: Boil water on the stove top
Step 2: Once the water is to a roaring boil. Pour into thermos and seal.
Step 3: Heat up food to put in Thermos
Step 4: once food is hot, pour boiling water out.
Step 5: put hot food in hot thermos (if you are adding some non-liquid, you might dry it out with a paper towel)
Step 6: tight and seal up the thermos
Some things that we put in our thermos; soups, of course. Spaghetti or any pasta, Mac & cheese, chicken nuggets, rice & quinoa blend, scrambled eggs & sausage, leftover cheeseburger patty (no bun). Left over veggie stir fry. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Really the sky is the limit.
My oldest isn’t a big sandwich person. So thermos days are her favorite. Truthfully they are my favorite too. I feel great about sending her a lunch she’ll love and not waste.

I didn’t find the subzero brand lunch thermos’ to be especially good at keeping food hot for very long. I bought A set of two. The large one does a better job, but if i want my coffee hot all day i have to rubber-band a towel around it. The smaller one hardly kept the coffee warm til lunch. Still looking for the ideal thermos.
