 A terribly simple solution that I have found to boost the duration of heated 
food in coolers is an item often used for arthritis.  Take an impecably clean 
sock (or terricloth towl folded in half and sides sewn closed) and put within 
1 pound of rice.  Tie end in a knot (or sew the edge closed).  This isem is 
now ready to use.
 
 Heat on high in a microwave oven for 2 minutes.  It will be VERY hot when 
you remove it, so use pads.  Put immediately in the cooler and close the lid 
(if you use over the size that will hold 16 drinks, you''ll need more of 
these jewels).  It will now heat the cooler for you.  You may now put your 
hot food into it without having the heat sucked out to heat the environment 
around it.  Reheat your rice bag again, and return to the cooler with the 
food, and close up.  I have found that this adds from 60 to 90 minutes to the 
holding time for food in insulated containers.
 
 ***  For use on sore/arthritic joints, only heat about 30 to 45 seconds.  
Make sure it doens;t burn to hold it when squiching the rice.  It will hold 
therapeutic temperature for over an hour.  If it start holding temps for too 
short a time, then mist the sack a LITTLE with water before heating it or 
change the rice.  It will last for years before completely wearing out.  
Pretty good for about a $1.00 investm,ent in materials!!
