If you really want to bring something hot invest in a Pyrex casserole
carrier. I have one and I put a piece of foil big enough to wrap around the
casserole in before I put the casserole in. I take the casserole out of the
oven and put it straight into the carrier. I've had casseroles stay so hot
that two hours later you still had to use potholders to take it out of the
carrier.

With a good cooler you can take any cold foods you want.
