Um, had to express my prepping experiments from today.
On Monday of this week I bought a Stainless Steel Vacuum Food Flask more to store cooked food in. However I have read that one can add dry grain etc to what most would call a Thermos Insulated Food Jar.
I did a local shop to shop for a comparison of what was on offer. I had intended to buy a Thermos brand unit but I found a unit that had three times the water holding capacity at Bunnings a hardware shop. 1500 mil unit at about the same price of the Thermos unit
So today I added a cup of white rice and dry bean mix to the unit I bought and filled it up with boiling water from an electric kettle. I left it for about four hours then opened it and found it full of cooked food. The rice I would call over-cooked. The food was hot but not over hot for eating. I did shake the unit a couple of times during the four hours it was sitting on the counter.
If you wanted, you could use it to precook a grain / bean mix and reheat it when you wanted to eat it. Doing it this way you don't have to worry about it getting burnt on the bottom of a pot.
