Just does not keep liquid warm. The lid obviously seals because within an hour the contents have cooled to the point where there is a vacuum in the jug, there is an inrush of air on pressing the lid release. I thought glass would be a better option than the many stainless units advertised, but considering this is the same as a Thermos flask in appearance, there is no comparison regarding the thermal propertes. I might as well use a milk bottle! Not impressed at all. A complete waste of time. Might be a one off though as the overall look and feel is good. It,s hard to imagine that the level of thought and finish would not be reflected in its performance, sadly the results deem otherwise.

I needed to find a replacement for the Tupperware Microwave 2000 dishes which I have had for years and were very serviceable. Having been used to a certain type of microwave bowl & lid, it was always going to be a tough act to follow! These Emsa Micro dishes have been a delightful find and are a very good substitute. They are made of sturdy white plastic bases; the lids are more flimsy but seem to do the job. The 0.5 dish is very small for family usage, it really is only a one serving type bowl (I cook a handful of frozen peas in it); the 1litre bowl holds a decent amount of vegetables or liquids for two people. I find I'm using the 1.5litre bowl the most and can serve four people from the contents, such as cooking vegetables for the family dinner, or reheating a frozen meal (casserole, stew, chilli, pasta sauces, etc.). It advises on the information that high sugar, fat or acidic (tomato based) food may stain or effect the plastic when heated to high temperatures. So I am careful not to microwave on high settings and gently heat through these kind of foods. It is handy that the lids can double up as an airtight seal for storage in the fridge or freezer, and that the dish can be used straight from the freezer into the microwave (as long a the lid is loosened before microwaving). This set of dishes have been through my dishwasher several times now and come out in pristine condition, as long as you heed the warning about keeping them on the top shelf and not near the heating element! I would like to have another 1.5litre dish and a 2litre dish to compliment this set as I do cook all my vegetables in the microwave and could do with the extra vessels. Read full review
