Reviews for Vesture Microcore 8" x 12" x 1" Heavy-Duty Thermal Hot or Cold Pack - 40 oz.

Great for those casserole bags so I can keep hot foods hot. There weren't any instructions provided, but I microwaved it in 30 second increments (1000W) until the pack was hot (about 2 minutes).

This ice pack is amazing. I have used it to transport food that needed to stay cold. I love how you can bend it how you need it to lay. It is a very nice product, no leaking and freezes quickly. The ice stayed frozen solid throughout my entire event. Great product: I will highly recommend.

We used these inside our insulated delivery bags. The packs keep the food warm for an extended period of time. I'm looking forward to testing the cold pack capabilities as well.

This has saved the day numerous times. best part it can replace ice in coolers which makes clean ups much easier, since not having to dump anything out. TO heat i prefer the boiling water method, gets it very hot.

I use these for a school lunch catering company. Initially these worked great, they hold the heat very well. However, over past six months, I have had to continually order more because they develop leaks. I am hoping to find a brand that will last longer.

I didn't give these a five star as they are not the easiest items to figure out. For cold use, just throw them in the freezer, just as any other cold pack, However to use for heat they are rather more difficult to figure out. they do not come with any instructions to heat up. ie. How long do you microwave them for! There seems to be no instructions online, so it's just trial and error. I've actually found that Nuking them at half power for longer is better than high power as they seem to heat more evenly. The only instructions I found online had me heat them for 2 mins on High. This did very little. I nuked them for about 6 mins on Medium, they worked much better that way, but I guess it depends on the Microwave. It Read More

Great to have for catering. I use them in my cambro boxes when transporting hot or cold food. It keeps the food close to temperature for the time needed.

This Thermal Pack is perfect for food deliveries! It actually keeps the food warm for a long time, making a big difference in maintaining quality. I haven’t used it as a cold pack yet, but for heat, it works amazingly well. Highly recommend!

These packs work really well to keep my food hot. They last a while but not forever. I've had several burst, but this has been after multiple uses. They tend to last around 4 months (sometimes longer).

Love these. Thin and keeps cold longer than the nordic ones.

I have used this product for over 8 years, for both cooling and warming. None have sprung leaks, and I suspect overheating causes the leaks. Based on 1000 watt microwave power, I heat them at 75% power for 45 seconds, let rest 1 minute, then another 45 seconds. Freezing is simple, but when they are flexible stack them carefully, as if you stack them more than 3 tall, some may not freeze completely.

I heat them up and keeps food warm until I eat it.

This was a great purchase. I make patties and will use this to keep them hot or warm before purchasing. The patties remain warm straight up to the point that it is sold. A total up to 4 hours which is perfect

We used to use cloth packs filled with lentils but these heat much faster and stay hot longer. They don't last forever and will inflate if you overheat them and eventually start to leak. I attempted to save a couple by vacuum sealing them but they don't work as well after that.

These hot/cold pads are great for our delivery needs. They seem to be holding up well after multiple uses. We plan on purchasing more soon!

Reusable, and non-toxic, the Microcore thermal hot or cold packs add reassurance, on long trips, that proper temp. is maintained. Recommend this product for it's quality and price.

These are ok, they rip easily and the thicker nordic core packs work much better. I have used duct tape to cover the splits and it is better.

Great product. I use two frozen packs on the bottom of my insulated food delivery bag. They staty cold for a long time and provide added stability to the delivery bag.

Fit nicely in a half-size delivery bag, and kept our food hot for several hours during my daughter's grad party. I was actually surprised that nothing had to be discarded for holding temp at the end of the party!

These are perfect out of the freezer to keep items cold for hours. When you heat them in the microwave they are great at keeping hot food hot.

I was skeptical when I bought these hot/cold packs but I had a large event that I would need to keep some food cold and other hot. I was happy that when using for hot and cold the foods stayed within safe temps. used in a holding unit.

Haven't used them frozen yet, but it would have been nice to get some kind of instruction sheet to let me know how long to microwave them. Had to play around with timing and still not sure what the maximum heating time and temp are. They worked great in the Cater Gator but wish I would have heated them longer.

This multipurpose pack is great - it can be used to keep things either hot or cold! Stick it in the freezer to cool it down or the microwave to heat it up.

I have been using these for years they keep my cold toppings cold at my shop. Works Very well when you freeze them and uae under your cold food

I used this in my catering containers. They were wonderful. My desserts stayed cold for hours. They were of good quality and i have no doubt will last a long time.

Works OK. I had to go back on the website to figure out how to work since it did not come with any instructions. I think that was the downside. When I heated up to it's recommended temperature in the microwave, it did not seem to keep my food as hot as described. The jury is still out on this one.

Perfect for the bottom of my carrier! Provides a perfect cooling base for foods that must be kept cool. I highly recommend it. Would order again.

I love these hot packs. Not only are they available in different sizes which fit our delivery bags perfectly, they keep our foods hot for the 20-30 minute drive we make to deliver our food hot to our customers!

so these microcore heavy duty thermal hot and or cold packs are actually amazing and stay cold and hot for a very long time !

I used this in my catering bags. They were wonderful. The food stayed hot for hours. They were of good quality and i have no doubt will last a long time.

This is the second one I bought, even though it’s smaller that the first one I like how it’s actually thicker. I found this to hold heat a little longer than the other one.

Was worried about condensation. But this keep everything cold during transport and I had no worries. Freeze the night before and they are ready to go.

The Microcore 14 x 10 hot or cold pack is a great addition for our catering needs. We haven't used it yet for heat but we have used it frozen and placed the pack in our cater gator. It kept the desserts cool for over 3 hours. Can't wait to try it heated.

This thermal hot or cold pack is worth the purchase. It definitely keeps drinks cold for a long period or even keeps your food warm for a long period of time!

These thermal packs have been a lifesaver. I have a food truck and am very conscious about maintain proper temperatures which is why these were purchased. They are now a part of the daily packing process. We do use ice chest that plug in and run off batteries but especially during hot summer months these help us maintain temperatures, especially if cases have to be open and closed a lot. Am ordering more for our growing business!

Great to use in cooler bag to keep the food colder for picnic. Also it’s great that this thermal pack can use for warm food and lasted quite warm and long. Will definitely buy more for my catering business.

We have been using these inside our CaterGator and in our Insulated food delivery bag. They do a great job and stay frozen longer than I thought! Nice product and we will be ordering more soon!

Love the size of this thermal pack! It is very good for holding smaller size pans and dishes that have to be transported in a food delivery bag.

These are quality ice packs that hold a freeze for hours or heat to very hot in a matter of minutes to keep foods hot.

The Microcore pack can be easily heated in your microwave or cooled in your refrigerator or freezer. They are re-usable and handy for hot and cold catering. We use it routinely to transport cold or frozen desserts to events. These are safer than gel. They are filled with non-toxic liquid. They heat or cool in the freezer evenly, and can be placed in any type of container for continued heating or cooling
