Travel can be fun but also time-consuming
and expensive. If you are traveling by car and taking hot food with you,
keeping the food hot is essential. According to the United States Department of
Agriculture, foods must be kept hot or cold. It is easier to keep foods cold,
rather than keeping them hot. If you must keep foods hot, here are some ways to
do so.
1 Wrap hot food in aluminum foil. Do this
when it is at its highest temperature. Cover all food with the aluminum foil.
2 Warm up the hot packs. This is a
commercial product to purchase. Similar to a cold pack, the hot pack keeps food
hot. Follow the instructions on the package, which generally involves heating
up the pack. Put the hot packs on top of the food items.
3 Wrap towels around the food and hot
packs. Place the food gently in a cooler. Use a cooler that is suitable for the
amount of food you are transporting. Fill in any spaces in the cooler with
towels. Less space in the cooler means that the food is more likely to stay
hot.
