My daughter is off to Kindergarten this year. And was trying to think of diff ideas for her lunch so she would not be bored. So we did a test run because I was concerned with her dumping hot water on herself...So I boiled some water and filled the thermos - let it sit for about 20 min with a dog (from fridge not frozen)- dumped out the hot water and wrapped dog in foil and put it back in the preheated thermos - made up her lunchbox as normal and 4 hrs later at lunchtime she sat at the table and went to town. Dog was warm and she thought it was so cool! And dont fret over ur kids eating a hot dog and it not being healthy... Trader Joe's makes Chick/Beef/Turkey dogs with no nitrates! Super low in cals - so u can feel good about switching it up! Thanks for the idea.

When I first saw this, I thought, "really? Everyone knows how to make a hot dog!" But the thermos idea is ingenious! 5 stars!

I fixed this for our son years ago to take for school lunches. No one (at that time) had ever thought of such a thing so he was definitely very popular. He didn't even want the bun, just apple slices, maybe a few chips. He'd buy milk or take a juice box to drink. One note: I would pour boiling water on the dogs, then seal in the thermos. By lunch, as it cooled, it made quite a seal. Littler kids (or not as strong) might need a bit of help getting that lid off, and whoever does remove should be careful. That water is still pretty hot. His dogs were always steaming hot.
