"Thermoses have gotten kind of amazing these days. Have you noticed? The best double-walled, vacuum-insulated travel mugs can keep your coffee hot literally all day. I've left my Fellow Carter Move mug ( see on Amazon) in a car for hours while hitting the farmers market and meeting a friend for lunch, only to discover my coffee still bracingly hot and tasting pretty much the same as when I brewed it. It feels like a miracle."
"So when a new company called Host Modern offered to do the same thing for candied yams or brussels sprouts, with a handsome new double-wall, vacuum-insulated serving dish, I was primed to fall in love-inasmuch as one can fall in love with a serving dish. If the dish works well at keeping food hot for extended periods, potlucks and picnics are the most obvious application. But even just serving hotter food at home is, in its own little way, life-changing."
"Interestingly, Host Modern's public relations touts their serving dish as a "Yeti for food." But of course, Yeti-a stalwart in the hot-things-hot, cool-things-cool game-likewise makes a Rambler vacuum-insulated bowl that is also, self-evidently, a Yeti for food. Which professed Yeti for food is the most Yeti for food? Yeti or Host Modern? I filled the bowls for a face-off. First off, it's worth asking if anyone needs a thermal serving dish."
Double-walled, vacuum-insulated containers now retain heat for many hours, exemplified by travel mugs that keep coffee hot through long outings. A new Host Modern double-wall serving dish aims to extend that performance to hot foods like candied yams and brussels sprouts, promising clearer timing for multi-dish meals and usefulness at potlucks and picnics. Yeti offers a competing Rambler vacuum-insulated bowl with similar intent. A direct comparison filled both brands' bowls and evaluated their ability to keep liquids and solids hot over extended periods to determine practical benefits for home serving.
