Where do i get a dish that seals in the heat so that when I make rice/tortilla/curry i can put it in and keep it warm for about an hour?
Can u use a casserole for this? I dont want to use any electric/flame devices.Pls Help!

They make insulators for pyrex casserole dishes now. Check out this link, there are several items like this on the market these days.

A lot of supermarkets and drugstores now sell thermal bags especially for this purpose. They'll be in the housewares/cooking gadgets area. They're made of some kind of special, insulated plastic and usually have a snap closure--they're pretty inexpensive, too! As long as your food is good and hot when it goes into the bag, I have found that these work very well for at least an hour or so. Oh--and they can be used to keep cold things cold too. Good luck.

I am a Pampered Chef consultant, and we've got a great product line called stoneware that is perfect for not only baking, but for keeping food warm longer. They are great retainers of heat, and seem to be what you're looking for. We have all different shapes, sizes, even colors for the stoneware, and in September, our New Traditions serving stoneware will be on sale!
Hope this helps!

You can purchase (or order) food warmers from hospitality hotel/restaurant supply companies just for that purpose.
Check your local directory to see if there is one in your area.
Hot food has to be maintained at a certain temperature to prevent bacteria growth. I would not trust just any product on the market.

this might help for a while use your usual casserole dish cover with saran wrap first then foil and then place casserole top on .....cut back on your cooking time...don't open to see if done as you will defeat your purpose....
