I have bought two 'pots' recently that are meant to keep food hot but both of them are pretty crap and only keep it hot for about an hour.
Is there anything better out there?
Try a primus food flask, ebay link here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/150966623763?lpid=83&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=83&ff19=0, but try blacks or tisos etc
I've got this one and it works well in builder winter wonderland.

You can take this as a genuine review as I actually use it regular.
Soup if not opened until lunch time is still hot, if you have some earlier it does suffer a little due to the air space you create by eating some of it.
Pasta same scenario but not as hot initially i presume due to the space again between the food.
All in all spot on when working outside or for days out walking etc.

I tried many others and got one of this after googling for the best food flask, it gets great reviews (this was the first link that came up so you might find it cheaper) others I tried failed, food/soup in it in the morning and it would be warm by lunchtime, with this one it was too hot to eat, I stopped pre-heating it as there was no need, food still hot by the end of the day, it's the best you can buy, end of!

Stoner - MemberHave you tried an Aladdin bento box?
I have an Aladdin one (slightly different shape to that one) and it only keeps the food hot for about and hour max.
I think I will try one of the Thermos flasks mentioned above next!
aha. My wife has one, but she tends to heat food in a microwave at work in one and then take it to her desk.
I had a steel thermos flask but it's lost its vacuum after hardly any time so is useless now.
Keeping food at just the right temperature for bacteria to breed unchecked for long periods? I'm out.
Yes tomato soup is a killer!!!
Bento also has a flaw in the lid, it has a hole with a rubber bung which goes missing leaving a tiny aperture which is impossible to clean.
I left mine for a month (cleaned) and it now has a nice culture growing out of the hole on the inside of the lid...
