Will spaghetti stay hot til lunch?!


Question: Will spaghetti stay hot til lunch?
I'm trying to expand my school lunch ideas past sandwiches and chips. I'd like to make spaghetti the night before, then heat it up in the morning to bring to school. I typically eat 3-4 hours after I leave the house in the morning. Do you think it would stay reasonably warm in that time frame? I'd have it in a tupperware container with a lid.

What about rice? Or mac n cheese?

what you need is a wide mouth thermos designed to keep hot foods hot.
They are available in most bigger stores and work great.
you fill the thermos with hot water to heat the inside of it and let it set while you are heating the spaghetti(or what ever it is). Dump out the hot water, dump in the hot spaghetti and put on the lid. It will be nice for lunch.
The working man has been taking hot lunches with him for years thanks to thermos containers.
You can take almost anything you can think of and it will be nice and hot.



Well let me tell you, you can heat up the spahgetti put its just going to taste like it did right after you bake them its turning spoild i know its only a day but my point is its not going to taste as good as the day you made them



no, no aaaand..no. unless there is a microwave. however, you could conceivably have yourself a fairly warm lunch if you invest in thermos tupperware..it'll help your situation out tons..for warm foods or cold things like yogurt that taste pretty gross warm.



I used to take pasta to school, it stays pretty warm if you have it in a tupperware and lunchbox, if your in highschool i know lunchboxes arent cool, but they get the job done.



No....but cold spaghetti isn't bad...it won't be cold like out of the fridge...Rice and mac & cheese will not be warm either...
You might check into a thermos..they have ones that have a wide opening just for that purpose..


Good luck...........



No, and it may get nasty if you try. Do you have a small thermos you could put it in? or Pack it cold and nuke it at school.



Get a wide mouthed thermos; it'll keep anything piping hot. Tupperware won't.



None of those will stay very warm, but Spaghetti has the best shot. Mac and Cheese gets cold so fast its sad
