I'm in search of a good thermos. Something that is reliable, well made, and keeps food warm for several hours. Any recommendations?

With those, I have heard that buying the real thermos kind and paying a little more can be worth it.  Definitely check out reviews before you buy, they can say a lot.

We have a thermos ( Coleman brand?) for coffee. The key is to put hot water in the thermos for several minutes before you put the hot food in to warm it. It makes a big difference.

crockpot makes a little crock for re-heating food if you have a plug. It's not for cooking but you could put cooked chile in it and have it ready in a hotel room in a couple of hours while you go out.

I use the Ms. Bento for my girls' lunches. They say their food is warm at lunch time and it hols quite a bit of food! I keep the bottom cup full of hot water because the middle cup holds all of their food. The brand is Zojirushi. It costs more, but worth it to me.

Coleman is fantastic. I just got back from my holiday away. I took all my dehydrated meals I made, and rehydrated them early in the day, they were piping hot at dinner time. definitely preheat it with boiling water first.

Avoid Aladdin brand. Every one I have ever had (two that I bought and a couple that were gifts) has leaked. I would stick with Thermos brand or as others have mentioned, Coleman.

Thanks for the recommendations. I picked up a Thermos brand 24 oz food jar. It's supposed to be able to keep food hot for 9 hours or cold for 12 hours. I'm looking forward to trying it!

We love the thermos! It's made my life so much easier to just pack hot food in it whenever I need to pack food to go somewhere. Well worth the extra expense to get a good one! The thermos keeps food hot for up to 9 hours.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
