I make hot supper and put in Stanley (7hr) thermos to keep warm. Don't bother with regular insulation bags or thermos.....must be the ones that have a 7-9 Jr hot (10-14hr cold) guarantee
I use a thermos as well and fill with Mac& Cheese, Tortellini, even veggie chicken nuggets or corn dogs. They stay really warm in there. For sides I'll do a fruit, veggies, chips and of course something sweet. At least one night a week I do a sandwich or a lunchable but she always almost wants a bowl of rice when we get home on those evenings. Does you dd like tuna or egg salad (mine doesn't) that might work too.
There are lunch sized slow cookers. If you have access to a plug you could do soup, stews etc. in that and have a hot meal.
Ooh...that's an idea...I wonder how chirked people would be...I could picture us all doing rock, paper, scissors over who gets the plug, lol...
Bring in a plug extender!
Aren't you subject to health and safety?
Fairly sure we wouldn't be able to have a microwave at the gym. Possibly if there were a kitchen area, but if there is one it's for staff use, not general. Also sure you wouldn't be able to bring your own slow cooker or any other appliance that hasn't passed the building reg checks.

DD's thermos barely keeps her food warm until lunch at school. And if I put her cold pack next to it for her milk, it's even worse...

Do you prep the thermos? You need to add hot water for about 10-15 min to preheat it. And I would keep it separate from anything cold
I have stainless steel Thermos brand. They work fine.
No, I've never done that - I'll definitely give that a try before I replace.
There's no way to keep it separate from other cold stuff in her lunchbag. She's a milk drinker, so I definitely need a cold pack in there. I try to put something in between, like goldfish or such, something neither hot or cold, but it doesn't always work. But I'll definitely try the hot water and see what she says. Thanks!
you can pack another thermos with cold milk. the temps dont transfer to the outside of them so one thermos will stay hot and one will stay cold without an ice pack.
Just to clarify, hot, means boiling
Yep, preheating the thermos with boiling water is key. Also filling it all the way up with hot food. We have had good luck with the Thermos Funtainer stainless steel container, available at Target and lots of other places.
Interesting. Hadn't thought of that. Not sure it's an issue. As long as it's plugged into a safe outlet, I don't know that it matters. DD's gym doesn't have kitchen area per se, but there is a microwave in the staff room as well as a small one out with the coffee pot in the lobby.
