This is a food jar. These come highly recommended for those times when you a) don’t have access to a microwave (Tico and I do) or b) the line is unbearably long because even though there are two microwaves, only one of them works (me). This little guy is 16 oz., keeps cold things cold for up to 9 hours, hot things hot up to 7 hours (not…at the same time….), and comes with a collapsible spoon. All for the low low price of $13.08 at Target. I think I got the last one. So, this morning’s experiment: leftover beef and bison stew, and rice from last night. I filled the thermos with hot water (to prime it) while I heated up the stew to scalding hot. After dumping the water, I put the stew in the jar and closed the lid at approximately 7:45am. We shall see how hot it is by noon or noon-thirty (I had a good breakfast).
