Too easy
you eat people ?
before I leave my hours at 7:15am I put my soup in the microwave for 4 and half minutes. It so hot it's about to boil then I pour it into my thermos and it still nice and warm when I eat it in the afternoon...
Preheat your thermos as well. Fill it with boiling water and close it up while your reheating soup/chili/pasta in the microwave. Dump out the water, then fill it with the food. By noon, it'll still be almost too hot to eat. I've had stuff in there for 12 hours, and it's still very warm. Same goes for cooling in the summer, just stick it in the freezer overnight. If you want something like lasagna or leftover chicken, get a Stanley lunch box and do the same thing as the thermos. They work great.
Or you can just hold your food up to your sups face during the PCM. The steaming loads of crap that comes out of his mouth will warm the food in seconds.
