Wanted to make some bento, but dunno how to keep them. I tried to use e thermo flask to put fried rice and fried bee hoon. But I dunno how warm and fresh can it lasts. I put into flask at around 11am, and it came back smell of left over food smell. And a bit sour smell also. Ita supposed to keep food warm, but it turns food not fresh?? :?

I have never used a thermo flask before. What about buying the thermal bag? I bought a cute little one from Daiso. It's very cute and just nice to put in a container/tupperware. Haven't tested how long the heat can last though.

Er, a thermo flask can retain heat better right since there is metal inside? :?

As a gauge, how long can it keep warm?

But what i liked about the thermal bag is the size and totally not bulky, just the size of the container. It will be very odd for kids to bring thermos flask to school, IMHO, totally unglam.

I rhink abt 3 hrs? Mine’s rather old n the inside’s ceramic rather than steel type

Son’s recess for today is 2 slices of high fibre white bread with bacon and egg slices…daughter wants koko crunch, on condition she finishes her water.

Think my gal will feel super troublesome today :lol: I cook her steam egg, veg and chicken and put in a thermo food jug and put in a small paper bag and ask her bring to school cos her school bag no more space already. Hopefully she won't forget her lunch :lol:

I was going to cook steam chicken too! But I decided against it, coz I dun want him to eat cold food again. just worried that the thermal flask not good enough.
