These are amazing and my kids love them for lunches. We have kept ours out of the dishwasher and they’ve been great. The spoon that folds inside is the best as well and makes it all so easy.
I love that the kids can have a ‘hot lunch’ without it just being soup.
I bought this for my grandson he was starting his first job ,works great he is very pleased with it .
I Like this flask It keeps hot food at good temperature. I heated food in the morning and it kept hot until early afternoon, just needs a good stir before you eat as the bottom stays warmer than the top. A bonus is the spoon which comes with it.
No complaints here
i use this for school lunch occasionally and i’m told the pasta is still warm when eaten 4 – 4.5 hours after heating it and putting in this thermos.
I got this flask about 3 weeks ago so very early to give review.
So far my opinion is that… flask size is perfect for soup. My other daughter uses it for a pasta lunch. At this early stage I would buy again/recommend to a friend.
Perfect for my daughter lunch box. She said it was still hot when she opened it so I bought another one for myself too. Great product.
Good item as you’d expect from thermos. No leaks. Keeps my soup warm forever. Spoon in top is a nice touch. A handle would have been nice… on the flask I mean, not on the spoon. Overall a good item.
Great size for me, perfectly fits your average tin of soup.
It is essential to ‘prime’ it with hot water but as long I do it is still a little to hot to eat after 6-7 hours. I’ve not tested it much further than this.
Has changed my kid’s lives! No more soggy and cold sambo’s for their lunch in school. Now they’re not starving hungry when they come home and it’s perfect for hot meals in the winte
This flask is very handy. Great for soup and cup is good size with spoon stored inside. Great for work. Good value and fast delivery.
Good size and comes with it’s own spoon. Leak proof in school bag. Kepps food hot. Portion size is good.
Would be lost without this item – easily holds a tin of soup, keeps the product piping hot for hours and is leak proof. Excellent value for money
I use this flask for my morning porridge.I make it at 06.30 and normally eat it at 10.00,The porridge is still hot,not as hot as when I made it but still hot.
I absolutely love these thermos!! It’s the second one I bought for my kids,mainly for packed lunches for school. We already have large size. Honestly food stays warm for so long!
I haven’t used it for anything cold as of yet, but it’s great for keeping soups hot which is great for lunches at work as I’ve been trying to avoid having sandwiches.
Would recommend this product if you’re after a decent portion sized thermos for soups etc
Bought it for my kids, we make them fresh food in the morning and put it in this flask and it stays literally warm up until late lunch time, my kids love it and they prefer packed lunch now then school lunch. Highly recommended
What more can I say? I’m very happy with this product – it keeps my soup warm for 8 hours or so.
My only criticism (which drops it from 5 stars) is that the portion size is a little too small. But, other than that it’s perfect.
it’s going to be used to pack lunch to school with my child, we recently tried pack hot food for picnic, it is very warm after 4-5 hours. that’s very good.
the seal ring sometimes get off when I wash the lid, but easy to fit it back.
Got it for my baby for her home made hot food during the travelling and it kept hot for log hours so I can feed her homemade food without any worries even on a long travelling distance.
Product is fine but it came in a box that was torn down the side. No idea how the item did not fall ou
This is a very handy flask & I use it mostly to put my breakfast into to take to work.
It has never leaked is sturdy but fairly compact.
Have never used it for hot food yet so can’t comment on that.
Very impressed, thought it was too small on arrival but actually is perfect to keep a lunch inside. Food still piping hot 5 hours later, very impressed.
I was a little put off by other reviews but thought I’d try it anyway. Great flask!! I heat the flask with hot water first then add the hot food and put it in a thermos bag at 7am. I have lunch at 12 noon and the food is still piping hot. Brilliant!!
Great thermos. Have two od these. Can’t recommended enough. Keeps the soup hot for hours. Once had put hot milk in the afternoon. Forgot about it and the next morning it was still warm!
This product is great for kids portions! We use when going for picnics with our 12 month old daughter for putting her hot meals in! Lasts a good few hours hot! My only complaint is that it wouldn’t be big enough for a good sized adult portion but we bought a larger capacity one for that! Highly recommend if you have children!
Had three of these, they’ve never leaked. Keep things hot for ages. I don’t have access to a kettle at work, and the water will still be hot through into the afternoon!
I bought this for my child for pack lunch. It holds quite a bit. Too much for him to eat. Must be fillies to keep food hot- otherwise it starts to cool. So 3/4 fill at 8am is Luke warm at 12pm. But fill the flask and everything stays fantastic hot!!! It’s brill
Good looking flask, great for my lunchtime soup. Handy little spoon in the lid. Keeps my soup warm until lunchtime if I warm the flask with hot water before using
Although I have given this a 5 star rating all round, I found it too big for me. Returned and refund given and purchased a children’s size Thermos food flask – better size and more fun!
I am a great fan of the product. I have various colours. Buy them on offer. They really do keep the food warm. Remember to fill it with hot water first. Then empty and place food.
This is my 3rd I’ve purchased. All in different colours for the family. Really keeps the food nice and hot and also easy for all members of the family to use. Plus love that it comes with a spoon. Easy to use for little ones doe school lunches, during the colder months.
Good quality and good value for money.

Brilliant little flask. Have put soup in it and thicker foods like noodles and both my daughter and partner have said foot was piping hot hours later. Doesn’t leak and little spoon is excellent. Very easy to clean so feel no resistance using it and saving money on packed lunches. Able to give my daughter healthier options for at school.

This is great. Was a bit wary of how small it looked but can take a standard sized can amount of food or most ready meal sized portions if you use those. My son uses this as a change to a sandwich type lunch for school. Keeps food really hot. Doesn’t leak. Handy foldable spoon included. Perfect!
This is great. I super heat a pre prepared casserole in the microwave at 6.15 in the morning and put it in the flask. It is still hot at 3.00. Good portion size..I am over 6 foot with a healthy appetite.
Using it for baby food. It’s touch, reasonably light and holds a fair bit – enough for twins. Holds heat well for a good while as to be expected from Thermos.
This is a great little flask for soup. I could have done with a slightly larger one, but this gives a reasonable portion and keeps it hot for plenty of time – at least six hours. The little spoon, which comes with it is useful.
Excellent thermos, big wide neck makes it easy to fill and clean.
It retains heat well, so much so that when my partner put it in the fridge overnight the contents were still warm the next day at lunchtime.
Bought for my daughter who is a midwife. She uses it most days. She says it keeps her soup or strew hot for hours. She never knows when she can take her lunch break but she says she always has something hot to eat. It has its own spoon in the lid. It’s also easy to clean and it does not leak. Great buy
Nothing to dislike, when filled to the brim this keeps food at a hot enough to eat temperature for a fair few hours, great piece of kit when out hiking, if its not filled to the brim, the food does lose its heat a lot quicker. the spoon in the lid is a great idea, and all is very easy to clean, very tough too, used it on numerous outings, very pleased
Heinz soup microwaved for three minutes at 7:30am is still warm/hot at 1 pm lunch time. All good
Built in spoon with all its moving h parts and mechanisms isn’t very comfortable in the gob lol
Good quality product bought for my husband when he’s at work. Holds enough for one adult portion. Easy to clean keeps food hot up to 5 hours but food must be piping hot before filling. Delivered on time.
Bought this to make my yoghurt in and it’s great! Fill with boiling water to heat it up whilst waiting for the milk to cool and it stays warm for hours. I make the yoghurt early evening and the flask is still warm when I empty it the next morning. As it has a wide opening it is really easy to clean and no yoghurt wasted.
My daughter uses this at school lunches and when she busy doing other activities and needs to eat something hot and good. Great having the spoon in the lid. Very happy would buy again.
Our 4th Thermos, the whole family uses them. All four are going strong, they really do keep your Meal hot. The kids love taking it to school for warm lunches. Perfect size for one person.
Bought this for my daughter as she doesn’t like many school meals and Also prefers a hot lunch. as advised I fill with hot water while I’m making what’s going inside And it has never disappointed like many others have this keeps the food hot and she has always said that it’s lovely at lunch. Fits plenty in it so she is always full and then does t feel the need for the extra snacks you have with a packed lunch so bonus all round
Contains a good amount, though you may not believe that when you first see it. The spoon attachment is good for to make sure you don’t lose cutlery, or have to carry full size, and also for storing the dirty spoon once used.
Very retro looking – this is a constant companion on every trip to work. It keeps things hot or cold & comes with a fantastic sturdy foldable metal spoon that fits in the lid.
If I had a complaint I’d say it’s between two portion sizes – a little too much for one – and a little too small for two.
Quality produc
Only used a couple of times so far for soup. I warmed the flask first and then pretty much filled the flask in hope that it kept my soup hot, approx 4 hours later on each occasion my soup was lovely and hot. Just what I was after.
Not the biggest flask but it stores hot food for ages perfect for my partner to take to work so he can have hot food on break. It’s worth it definitely interested in buying a bigger size too now.
Bought for my Autistic son as he hates the cafeteria at college. He uses this and sits somewhere quiet. So far he has had soup, pasta, shepherds pie, peaches and even a roast dinner. He heats it all in separate container then puts in thermos. It keeps hot until his lunch time. He loves Hit Chocolate in it. Then i put it in the dishwasher to clean. Well worth i
I have only had tomato soup in it so far and had to share with myou grandaughter. Love the spoon in the lid. Hold one tin of soup. Keeps as hot as you put it in. Bought two more in red for my grandaughter and grandson.
Bought this for work to have warm food at break time. This product is perfect quality and keeps the food hot until lunch time. My only down side and reason for not giving full stars is the portion size if it was a bit bigger it would be perfect. Not dishwasher safe
The product does exactly what it is meant to do. It keeps hot fluids hot for the advertised number of hours and cold drinks cool. The thermos looks good, is substantially and well made, and seals tight without leaks.
My son works outside – so this has been put through it over the last three weeks. He has taken pasta several times in this flask. The food remains hot and it holds a substantial amount. Would highly recommend.
I have been looking for a thermos for my pasta and after buying several cheaper makes that did not keep the food hot this one is just right. the food does cool off after a couple of hours but it is still a nice temperature to eat. I put hot food in at 7.30 and it is still warm at 13.30.
Absolutely love this thermos. Use it for my daughter’s lunch for preschool as they do packed lunch. Holds temperature well and it is a right size for a 3 year old’s lunch portion. It comes with it’s own spoon in the lid that you open and is very easy to clean. I love the colours they come in and am soon planning to order another one.
Really like using this flask. Really good for keeping food warm…I mean REALLY good. I can fill it up with boiling liquid at 8am and it’s still roasting hot at 2pm. The amount of times I’ve burnt my toungue is incredible…
Used it for a few weeks now. No issues with this product, use for work, kept my food warm for minimum 4hrs – not tested beyond that. I would recommend it without hesitation.
I brought this to keep my toddlers meals warm when taking him out for lunch. I wasn’t convinced that some of these fancy children’s brands were actually worth the money so went for a name I trust and have used thermos products in the past. This has done the job well so far for pasta and soups etc. Hopefully it stands up to the test of time.

Does exactly what I expected it to do. I’ve taken to making homemade soups for lunch in an effort to lose weight, and after heating them up at 6am, it’s still hot enough stored in this to eat at 12.30. The fold out spoon is handy, though being left handed I do find I keep folding the bottom section of the spoon slightly in by accident. Cup on top is solid, but could be ever so slightly bigger. Really happy with this.
The worst to clean. If you have Mack and cheese in it you can smell it after you wash it. It requires 2 thorough washes and leave the lid of after. I’ve had it for years and everything is warm after and had never leaked on me
Lovely little flask. Pretty good at keeping food hot hot of you warm the flask with hot water before adding piping hot food. If you don’t fill it to the top it cools faster than I am happy with. Handy size for a decent portion of soup for on the go. Handy top and spoon too. Also keeps drinks cool with an ice cube.
Diabetics on insulin, this is perfect for travel with vials of insulin.
Easy to pack, value for money, good frange of colours, does its job at keeping food warm. My only gripe is that when easting directly from the flash, the metal container is noisy. My spoon clanks each time it goes in and out. Rather distracting when eating with others
Love it!!! Great for food or carrying small amounts of hot water / tea. It comes with a folding stainless steel spoon which is so handy on the go.
I will be honest, I am not as amazed by this as I am by the thermos drink flask. I bought this to replace another branded food flask which wasn’t keeping food warm for me and I have found that this one isn’t actually much better. Looks great though and I can’t be bothered with the hassle of returning.
Excellent and suitable for adults and children alike. Keeps food really hot for several hours e.g. soups and stews. Wide container easy to clean so suitable for variety of hot foods. Highly recommend.
I used this to put my soup in before work as we do not have a microwave. When I come round to eating it at least 6 hours later, the soup is still piping hot (I still have to blow it to cool it down). The spoon is handy too. Cleaning it is easy and holds a very good portion size.
Life saver on cold days at work. If you remember to preheat the flask before putting your streaming hot food in it will stay hot for at least 7 hours. really easy to clean.
Very good! I use this very often as I bought it for lunch on the go for myself and my son.
No leaks. Keeps ice for hours without melting.
Hot food stays warm. All in all a good purchase
Purchased when on offer, I nice little practical boring present for the kids at Christmas to pad out the tree! Kids often have packed lunches at school so being able to give them at hot ‘meal’ is great in winter and adds to the variety. Think baked beans and sausages with hash brown, pasta, ravioli, soup etc.
I work in an organisation with no microwave so needed a reliable soup flask. This flask is perfect. It is easy to fill, does not leak and reasonably easy to clean. It comes with a metal travel spoon which I do not use as it makes a noise that goes right through me when it touches the bottom! Other than that, best purchase I have ever made.
Perfect little pot for carrying my baby food out and about. As
The portion is so small the heat only remains for a few hours but I feel this is fair and adequate. I imagine an adult sized portion lasts all day.
Excellent product. Wasn’t sure if I should have got bigger size but this was perfect. I try to manage my portion size and this easily fitted a whole tin of soup (it very nearly fitted a whole Covent Garden 600g soup in). Warmed it up with boiling water and it kept my soup piping hot for 4.5 hours, and I’m convinced another 4-6 hours it would have still been hot.
Great flask although heat wise I’m not sure its much better than others. I bring porridge in it some days and eat apprpx 2.5hrs later and its just hot enough to enjoy. Soup keeps longer, it’s approx 6.5hrs afterwards that I eat it and its still hot enough but just about for my liking.
This is a great little flask that works well for food. I have only one issue with it, the spoon doesn’t work for left handed people! The part that locks the spoon in place is on the wrong side so the spoon folds up as soon as you put any pressure on it.
Second of these that I have bought. Keeps my porridge piping hot but make sure the flasks are filled with boiling water before putting in food. I have tried taking soup to work for lunch, by 12:30 the temperature is fine but not hot.
Easy to clean and handy size.
bought this after doing some research on best ones… great product.. so easy to clean with handy fold up spoon whic is strong in lid.. i have two now as partner had her eyes on mine… keeps food hot or cold for lengh it says.. i find it keeps things colder for longer whan it says… no leaking at all… will only replace with this one as needed. but think this will last for ages… ive dropped it too!!
I bought this to have soup rather than eating pie’s everyday at work.
Well what can I say?,only that it works you can put soup In it or even beans and sausages and they stay warm but if you cram a pie through its lustrous stainless steel gaping neck neither will the pie stay warm or will it come back out just staying there for perpetuaty so in my mind win win!
Bought this for my son to take to school. Small enough that fits in his lunch box. Big enough that he is satisfied if he eats everything. Food is still warm at lunch hour. The spoon works.
It looks great and kept my soup hot until lunchtime. You need to tip the soup into the lid to eat it if like me you don’t like the scrape of metal on metal. One star off because the spoon collapses when you scrape around – I think it’s only for right-handed people – if you scrape the other direction it doesn’t collapse.
I can’t fault this flask. I use it to take soup to work and it keeps it roasting for over 6 hours! I fill the flask with boiling water in the morning and leave it in for 30 mins to preheat before draining and adding the soup(which I also heat to close to boiling point) 6 hours later it’s still roasting! The spoon is also fantastic. I would highly recommend.
Very well made product as you’d expect from thermos. Keeps my food piping hot for about 6 hours. After that struggles to maintain the temperature. Not as big as I thought it would be but a note to myself to read the description better as the size is noted in it. Ideal for what I need and small enough to carry.
I REALLY wanted to like the equivalent Stanley Food Flask more than this one… BUT THIS IS MUCH BETTER! It’s lighter, smaller but contains the same amount as the Stanley. The absolute best part is that you can take the inner seal off it to clean the lid properly, and it doesn’t ruin the vacuum like it did with the Stanley!! A lifetimes guarantee means nothing if you can’t get the parts in this country. BUY THE THERMOS!
Bought for my daughter taking soup to school for lunch. Fits in a whole 400ml tin of soup no problem. Daughter says it’s still hot at lunch time (made up at 8am) and eaten around 12noon. Like the spoon included and it having a space integrated into flask (it fits inside the top so daughter don’t have to take a separate spoon or risk losing spoon). I had worried how easy it would be to clean, but it’s very easy . Would recommend. My daughter wants me to put pasta meal in it next.
I love this, especially in these cold mornings, keeps lunch warm from 7.30am until 2.30pm when I have my lunch. Not HOT but certainly warm enough to enjoy the soup, you don’t want it too hot to burn you anyway. I also love the colour, not too girly either so hubby can use it if desired.
Use this great thermos to take homemade soup to work five/six days a week. Keeps soup really hot and just the right volume, 450ml equals medium size bowl of soup, folding spoon in the cap makes this a great all-in-one meal provider. Will definitely buy this product again as present for friends and family alike.
Such a shame the lid got jammed which seems to be a fairly common problem in the online community. Unfortunately not your usual locked lid locked scenario which can be released with hot water / oil / rubber band. We tried resolving this with Thermos customer service but they have completely ignored our email for 5 days.
Edit: Customer service rep Sara sent a replacement product. Glad it was sorted out after 2 weeks as the product is perfect for winter months.
We decided to purchase a Thermos product as it is a well known quality brand, my husband wanted this for work to hold soup etc hot in the colder months. However after the first use he noticed come lunchtime the food was luke warm. So not good value for money at just under 20
Looks good and insulates perfectly. Great size for taking to school/work for lunches.
Its a bit more expensive than some food thermos flasks but i was lucky enough to get this one a bit cheaper, because it was red? Wouldcstill be worth the full price though.
Great little food flask I fill this up with soup in the morning around 7.30 and it’s still piping hot for lunch at 1ish. And come with a neat little spoon which folds into tho lid . As with all thermos products it’s all hard wearing and can stand a knock or two which happens alot on sites
Good for a soup when at work. Only bad point is the spoon is almost flat when it is unfolded. Which , surprisingly, makes it harder to both eat with and to scoop out. Otherwise still nice product. Just make a good spoon please thermos
Amazing, fits a whole tin of heinz big soup in and 6 hours later still piping hot. I reckon it would still be hot later than that. Great for me as I work on site and no where to heat food. Cannot fault this item at all.
Performs as advertised, although admittedly not as good as it’s “cousins” designed for hot drinks, probably due to the larger opening. Collapsible spoon very sturdy, which was quite a pleasant surprise. Very easy to clean and looks good, too.
Tried an alternative brand and it kept soup lukewarm (barely) so figured I would give Thermos a go.
This one is doing the job nicely, soup still piping hot after 5 hours. Good size, fits a single person serving of soup. Only complaint is that I’ve had to remove the spoon from the lid as it kept popping off and going for a walk!
I never feel like eating breakfast when I get up in the morning, but by the time I get to the office I’m starving. This solves that problem: some hot milk and some porridge oats mixed together before I leave the house, and by the time I get to work it’s ready to eat, still lovely and hot. The spoon folds away very neatly.
Great flask , soups coffee etc keep perfectly for 6 plus hours. I always warm flask with boiling water befor filling so contents don’t cool on contact with cold metal. The flask is very good at keeping food like curry’s stews etc hot for at least 6 hrs. Always try to fill flask to top for best results. This size hold plenty for 1 generous meal . Folding spoon seems strong and neatly stored. Easy to clean and use. Great product.
