Thermos Lunch Recipes

Using a thermos is simple. It gives us the satisfaction of knowing that cold foods and hot foods will stay that way. There are many types and sizes available. Each and every kind of thermos has its purpose. They can hold liquids, meals, snacks, fruits, vegetables and even desserts. Just about anything you prepare can be placed in a thermos. Make a large amount of a dish and freeze it. When ready to use take it out of the freezer, reheat it and place it in the thermos. Use the thermos to take leftovers from the night before. A thermos can be useful in many ways to ensure that our meals are fresh and still taste good later in the day.

Warming or chilling a thermos is very easy. To warm a thermos, fill it with boiling water and seal the lid tight. When ready to use pour out the water and add the food. Close tightly and be on your way.

To cool your thermos fill it with ice cubes the night before. Seal it tight. When ready to use the next morning remove the ice and fill. Again be sure to seal it tight so the food stays nice and cold. Always be sure to place anything you want to remain cold in the refrigerator for a short period of time to cool. This will help ensure the food stays nice and cold all day.

Just about any type of food will work in a thermos. Try to remember to keep the thermos dry so that the foods don’t retain moisture and become too soggy. One other quick note to remember: Once the thermos is opened the air will bring the food to room temperature. Try not to open the thermos until your ready to eat. This will guarantee that the foods stay the hot or cold until you’re ready to enjoy them.
