How well does the food stay warm/hot in the Yumbox?

Hello! I'm not 100% sure about heat as my sons school asks we not pack up items to be heated but it stays cool for about 2 hours. Longer if we place an ice pack on the exterior lunch box we purchased. Hope this is helpful!

The box is not thermally insulated, so the food will be room temperature. When I want to keep the yumbox colder, I freeze a drink, one of those collapsible pouches and pack it next to yumbox. Then the kid has a "slushy" and his lunch stays cold. I the yum box and frozen drink pouch inside a thermos soft sided semi thermally insulated lunch box.

If by that you mean, do they stay cool when in use ... no -- they get hot. That is the only thing that I would criticize about the pans though. Other than that, they are great.

None. Its a buffet Chafer. It has a water layer between the food portion and the portion that gets direct heat. Just be sure to heat the water and keep water in it and you should have no issues.

Yes, it did stay hot for 8 hours and warm for about 12 to 15 hours. We used on a long trip to cook meat and vegatables.

It does tend to get pretty hot but not horrible. I have mine partially under cover from the tiki bar roof which helps.

The handle does get hot, though I would not say too hot. I also find that opening it toward the outer edges versus the center is a help. I've noticed no problems with the side shelves; however, the side walls of the grill do generate a good deal of heat, so again common sense caution suggests handing trays, etc. from the outer edges of the shelves. The quality of the grill and the cooking temperatures it generates more than offset any minor inconvenience.

Depends what you mean by "very." It is hot to the touch but not combustably so. I store extra trays on top and they don't get hot.

It is oval, and large enough to handle most meals. Cooks evenly, but outside does get hot. So be careful.

I put my hot casserole (out of the oven) into the carrier at 2:30 on Christmas day. My daughter's roast was delayed due to operator error by a whole hour and I was worried that my dish would get cold. We finally ate at 6:30, and I couldn't believe it - the casserole was still HOT to the touch. I love this thing!!!!

I have not tried hot food, but my guess would be that it stay warm, not hot without a hot pad.

I live in Hotlanta and have no problems keeping cool, of course you can hang meat as cool as I keep my place. Just use a mattress cover.

I have not had any problem with the food burning. Mine works perfectly, keeps the food warm but does not overheat.

We have had no problem at all with it getting hot.. as far as stable is concerned....I do recommend that you hold onto the thing when it's starts...lol. it's loud. And it WILL move about. We use ours almost everyday .. Worth it...We are really happy, we joke about the noise of it though......we use ours primarily for juicing....

It works pretty well we use it a couple times a year. And the food is pretty hot. I have done hot dogs and corn and green beans. They were all pretty good.

Yes the food sticks and burns easily. We tried turning the heat down and it stills has the same problem. So disappointed we bought a different one with a ceramic interior which works really well. I hope this is helpful.
