Perfec
Bought this for my daughter to take to secondary school, so she could have a warm meal through Autumn/Winter (lunch queue at school was far to long to wait in). She absolutely loves it. Keeps the food lovely & hot. Portion size is perfect for a teenager & due to it being fairly compact, it doesn’t take up to much space in her school bag. No leaks either – so perfect all round.
Eye catching
Flask very good but spoon a bit of a disappointme

I was a little concerned by the reviews that said that food didn’t stay hot. But I went ahead and bought this. I’m really pleased with everything about it. Good quality- even the folding spoon is super good quality stainless steel. Nice wide opening to get food in. I did a test with boiling water and filled the flask fully. After an overnight stand the water was almost too hot to touch and that was after 10 hours! I do understand that water holds heat maybe better than other more solid foods but I was impressed. The outside did not get at all even warm. The stainless steel lid got very slightly warm but really hardly noticeable.
I like this very much so far.
Shame it’s not dishwasher safe – imagine that the lid seal and colour coating on the flask body – but it’s no biggie….
Brilliant Purchase well worth the Money.
Fill with soup at 04.30am every weekday morning and stop between 11.30/12 noon and still has a lot of heating it. Have always had thermos trusted name and always believe if you buy cheap you buy twice pay the extra and get the best.
Brilliant food flask
Brilliant food flask. My son uses it most days for his lunch at work. Warm first with boiling water. Keeps food hot for 4/5 hours no problem. The spoon in the lid is very handy. Easy to clean. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this product.

Great Flask!!
Overall, a great product! I bought for myself after I saw 2 of my friends using them. It is definitely worth the 20 and keeps my food warm from 7.30am until 1pm. It is a good size and reasonably lightweight. The spoon folds out easily and is really helpful!
The outside does scratch easily though and hot food won’t last for over 7 hours i’d say.
Overall, I recommend!!
Faultless
I brought so I could provide my son with a cooked alternative to the soggy sandwiches he was receiving for lunch at school. Never filled to the brim but keeps food lovely and hot, no problems with leakages so far, really can’t find fault.

Perfect for the job
Bought one for my daughter to use in school as they no longer have access to canteen facilities due to covid and she loves it. Perfect for soups, noodles etc and she says it keeps the food warm. Nice sturdy size and good portion wise. Fits perfectly in school bag and nice addition of foldable metal spoon which slots into lid.

Keeps food very hot for hours
Nice shape, beautiful color, portion size big enough for an adult or 2 kids.
It can keep the food really hot for hours! Leak proof and easy to carry.
I use it for my daughter’s lunch box in the school and I’m happy with it (just I have to be really careful to prepare the food at the right temperature or she will find the food too hot).
Second one I've bought!
I have had one of these for a while now, and I’ve recently bought one for my wife. These are terrific, especially for winter months, for keeping warm food for lunch. I can heat up my food/soup, pre-warm this flask with boiling water, pop the food in (after emptying the water of course) and it’ll still be hot 5 hours later for lunch. I have the “matching” thermal cup and flask also. Terrific quality and highly recommended.
Quality product from Thermos.
As you would expect from the brand a quality product. I use this for work. I make my drink about 6.30 am and its still nice and warm by 2.30 pm. Its a dinky size but a good capacity The little cup that comes with it is excellent.
Hot food
Does exactly as expected. Keeps food warm til lunch at a good temperature. No leaks. Easy to clean.
Fits a full tin of soup easily.
Handy spoon.

Love this flask. I have put from yoghurt to soup and it keeps them either cold or hot, with no leaks. Veru easy to clean… so I am really enjoying packing my lunch now. Highly recommend.
Great for hiking - no leaks and keeps hot.
Took this out on a 14 mile hike full of a tin of Mulligatawny soup. Most normal tins are 400ml so there is plenty of room in this 470ml flask. After 7 miles it was time to stop at a viewpoint for a rest stop – the flask had tipped over in my backpack but there were no leaks. The soup was piping hot and the fold out spoon was perfect for digging in. Its easy enough to just hold the flask and eat straight from it – i guess you could use the lid if you were sharing or only having a small portion at a time. Overall a perfect result – a longish hike with a hot meal in the middle. I think I’ll try something like pasta in sauce next time . I would recommend this.
A very solid thermos, highly recommend!
A very solid thermos. The portion size is perfect for me, I have never had a leakage problem, to keep the food hot for a long time I recommend filling the thermos with boiling water for a few minutes before filling the thermos with hot food. I have never put it in the dishwasher, I wash it by hand. Highly recommend this item to everyone.

Great product. Does what is says
Honestly I was really skeptical about this thermos because there are mixed reviews. But I’m so glad I bit the bullet and bought it. It keeps my soups piping hot for almost 6 hours until I eat my lunch. I sometimes have to open it to let it cool before I start my lunch break. I always make sure to let the steam escape before I close it off in the morning and leave it placed on a flat surface until I need it. It is a generous portion but if you need more you can buy a bigger size. Love the color too! I would give 5 starts but it’s a pity the outside does scratch easily!
Hot, leak free lunchtimes
I work in a school, so many students had various versions of this product, but only this one seemed to keep the food hot with no leaking – brilliant produc
Pleased with purchase
Bought for my daughter to take soup or hot food to school now Covid has meant they don’t have the canteen available any more. Pleased with the purchase of this flask. She says her food is always hot when she eats it and it seems pretty sturdy and durable.
Very nice quality
I think that this food flask is of very nice quality and is very sturdy. The insulation is very nice, it can the food warm for a long period of time. My son has been using this for over a month now and it is still good as new. However I hope that there is a bigger version of the same flask, because it can’t hold a lot of food.

Great thermos for lunch!
Great for a lunch! I make pasta and rice for lunch and it stays warm from when I pop it in at 8am til 12.30 (not tested it for longer than that). Came with a small dent near the top but this hasn’t affected it from working. Would buy again.
Excellent quality
Perfect for a tin of soup, thought this product was so good I bought the larger version for my partner. Leak proof, easy to clean, keeps food hot for easily 12 hours, compact size and a lovely colour too.
Lunch game changer!
Perfect size, big enough i can pack a hot pasta for myself and children. Size is great and food stays piping hpt for ages. Great buy
Perfect for food or drinks/soup
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.

Good size thermos flask
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 bought this for my grandson he was starting his first job ,works great he is very pleased with it .

Great produc
Great product. After 5 1/2 hours in the flask my soup is still piping hot for my lunch. I warm the flask with boiling water for a few minutes before I put the hot soup in. Seals well as no leaks so far. The fold up spoon is great but you cannot eat straight out of the flask as it will scratch the interior and the lid that’s acts a your bowl is very small. Use a wooden or plastic spoon instead. Holds a nice size portion for lunch.
perfect for lunch
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.
Great for Soups, pasta lunches etc.. ❤️❤️❤️
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.

Does what it says it can do
I love this. Keeps lots of things lovely and warm. I’ve only ever eaten out of it after 3 and half hours. Everything I’ve put in has been lovely and warm.
Pasta
Rice
Chicken
Soup
Haven’t had a any leaks as yet. Can be a little hard to open sometimes after a few hours but I can live with that.
Washes up beautifully and easy
Great flask. Enjoy lovely hot soup whilst out on jobs this winter.
Great flask for those of us lucky to still be in a job and to be able to afford soup to put in it. Food still piping hot come lunch time. A very handy little spoon built in aswel just tickles me pink every time I have a hot lunch.
Great for students lunch
Due to Covid restrictions in my daughters school restaurant… she wanted to bring lunch to school. We quickly bought this based on reviews. It is as effective and leak proof as people say. My daughter loves it. Holds heat well and no leaks. Would recommend.
Awesome
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.
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.
Does what it should.
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.

Absolutely fabulous!!
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
Great flask
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.
A superb produc
I have one of these flasks for work for over two years and it is fantastic. I have found that it keeps food hot for at least 6 hours and is large enough for a good meal. I have tried other makes of flask and have ended up with cold food! The Thermos is far superior. I am so impressed that I have bought this one as a gift.
Leak proof and ho
Good size and comes with it’s own spoon. Leak proof in school bag. Kepps food hot. Portion size is good.
Excelle
Bought this with the intention that it would be used for my sons packed lunches as hot school meals are not being provided during the pandemic. Really pleased with it! It doesn’t leak and keeps my sons food hot until dinner time (having prepared it several hours prior). Excellent I can’t fault it.
I would most definitely recommend
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
Great produc
Havent tried it with hot food yet but keeps stuff cool all day! I work long days so my lunch or drink is in this from 7am to about 1pm and is always still really cold.
Grea
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.
Great flask, pricey..I paid £19.99
Great flask, pricey..I paid 19.99. Brought this for my son as his packed lunch in school and he wants hot food, I have been making him pasta and rice dishes, he loves his food. He said the food is still very warm after 4 hours, great flask and we are happy with it. We picked this flask because of the brand and size. Works well. It also comes with a foldable spoon.
Well made 'stand up' product.
Very pleased with this product. Swishing some boiling water inside before filling with hot food definitely helps keep the temperature warm for hours. No leaks, no spills. Would prefer a spork but the spoon is well made and sturdy. Recommend.
Would absolutely recommend i
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!
Keeps your food really warm
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
Great size and keeps the heat!
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
Great little flask
his is a great little flask if you enjoy hot food or soup for lunches etc at work. fill it in the morning and it’s still perfectly hot at lunchtime. the fold out spoon is great too. could maybe be a little larger inside, but that’s just a minor gripe.
This is perfect for schools packed lunch, not too big, easy to open and wide enough to let little hands pick stuff from it. we mainly use it to keep stuff warm or cold, not necessarily hot, and have used it mainly for pasta, meatballs etc. My little one loves it and made school lunches less boring. Would recommend it. The foldable spoon in the lid also very good.
Perfect to support in my health and wellbeing plan!
I recently started a new health and wellbeing plan and there are regularly soups for lunch. I find them filling and easy to grab but it can be a pain to heat on the go! Voila a thermos flask. Bit slow on delivery but to my surprise arrived with three packets of mini cheddars, which my 8-year old promptly took from me. Cannot fault the product. Many thanks.
Nice and cold
I purchased this item to store ice on a picnic. After an hours drive to the picnic location there was no sign of melting. Another 3 or 4 hours later at home, the remaining ice showed no sign of melting! It was a warm rather than hot day but I was pretty pleased with how effective the flask was. The spoon was handy for putting ice in a glass of fizz.
Bought this for my kids lunchboxes to allow me to give them hot meals to school as school dinners are not allowed due to COVID. They live it and say that by lunchtime their food is still piping hot after filling at 8.30am. I fill it with pastas, soup and even hot sausage rolls. Spoon is a great inclusion as well as my kids have mentioned other kids at school who have flasks and forgot a spoon. Only minor comment is the spoon is not quite deep enough to be a good soup spoon.
Great for school hot lunches
I bought this is as my step daughter had used to hot lunches over lockdown. I would never of thought to put pizza’s, toasties, wraps, sausages etc in it, if it weren’t for some of the reviews. It’s the perfect size for school lunch bag you just need to cut toasties and pizzas into 4 pieces to get inside. My step daughter now loves the fact she has a choice of hot food for school lunches.
Very happy - keeps my soup warm for 8 hours
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.
Fabulous
i’m very pleased with this purchase, it looks amazing, takes less space and keep food piping hot for the whole day. Food packed at 07.30 am stays hot even at 4 pm! its slightly expensive but worth every penny! I’ll be more than happy to buy another product from Termos brand!
Very happy with this purchase. Size is as described, and more than enough room for lunch/breakfast for 1 hungry person.
Decided to test straight away. Filled with boiling water (without preheating) and checked it at 2, 4 and 6 hours. At 2 & 4 hours the water was still nearly as hot as it went in. By 6 hours it was definitely still hot enough for soup.
I imagine with preheating and not opening every 2 hours the flask will retain heat much longer, but my intended use shouldn’t be beyond the 6 hour limit, so I’m delighted.
Spoon & bowl aren’t fantastic, but I didn’t have high expectations of them. I want something to keep my food warm and it does that easily.
Wide opening, so can probably eat straight out of the container & should be easy to clea
Very good
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.
Kept baby food hot for longer duratio
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.

Great Little Flask
I Just Received My Little Friend Tonight. So I Haven’t Really Gotten A Chance To Use It, But Very Much Excited To Use It On My Day Trip Out To Thorpe Park In The Next Coming Weeks. It Did Come With A Slight Dent But Nothing Too Major As You Can See In The Picture (Though Knowing It’s There Does Bother Me A Little But I’ll Get Over It LOL) Other Then That Comes With A Stainless Steel Folded Spoon (Spork Is More Ideal). Overall Happy With My purchase.
Once I’ve Used It
I Will Edit My Review By Putting The Star Ratings For The Warmth, Potion Size & Leak Proof
Update:
I Must Say I Am Impressed. This Little Flusk Manage To Keep My Food Hot. I Pre-Heated It For 15mins From 7:30 In The Morning And At 5PM In The Afternoon, The Food Was Still Hot. Will Be Ordering Again (A Back Up One) But A Different Colour & The Slightly Bigger Version (Without The Spoon) For My Partner For Work As He Really Loves And Enjoys A Home Cooked Meal On The Go.
Impressed
This flask is a very good size, holds about a can of soup. I use it for work, it stays a good temperature for hours. From about 8am to 1pm, it’s still pretty hot. I’ve been impressed!
Handy.
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.

Super! Excellent thermal insulation. Go with the best!
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.
Preparation is key
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!!
Brillia
Best flask I’ve ever had, so much so I managed to convince the 3 ladies I lunch with all to get one too! In the winter I take soup into work, I heat it up at about 06:30 and I eat it at 12:00, always piping hot still & usually have to leave the lid off to let it cool before I eat it.
Great thermos
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!
Good size for childrens portions!
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!
Worth the money
You get what you pay for,best flask I have used.Sturdy enough to take anywhere,spoon included is used everyday.Soup/broth is steaming hot throughout the day and size of flask is big enough to carry in my rucksack.
Great produc
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!
Brillia
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
Quality product, works well, but quite small
Really lovely quality, well made and smart to look at. It was a bit smaller than I anticipated, but plenty big enough for one person. The little fold away spoon in the lid is a nice touch, but a bit fiddly and a pain when you are washing up the lid. It does keep soup etc hot for ages, really pleased, would recommend.
10/10 for quality and use!
The Thermos came to my home quite quickly from Amazon and in good condition. The portion size is a little bit on the small side, but container does the job (provided you heat it with hot water for 10 minutes or so, while you heat up your food in the microwave or stove). I have no complaints at all. Thank you.
Great for lunch
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
Great for kids. Hot food, no leaks.
We have been using these on and off for a year now and I can recommend.
I bought two of these for my sons to take a decent hot meal to school.
The flasks are compact, attractive and most importantly, they do keep food hot and they don’t leak.
I prepared the food at 7am, children ate at 12 and reported that the food was still hot.
Capacity: sufficient for an adult meal, perhaps on the large side for my children. I found that they heat holds better if you do these two things: preheat the flask with boiling water first; fill the flask to fill capacity. For my children, if they had the flask half full with say, pasta or something more solid, I lightly scrunched some kitchen roll and placed on top and that seemed to do the trick of keeping the food piping hot.
The bonus is the fold up spoon which gave the kids a sense of adventure and camping with their gadgety, fold-out spoon.
An excellent product.
These are good products, just not for me.
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!
Awesome produc
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.
A real time saver!
Perfect.
You can pour in more than ample soup. It’s definitely leak proof. (I just put into my backpack without a second thought!)
I saw a student with one of these so decided to buy one too. I never have to worry about having enough time to get some lunch with my trusted Thermos!
As a teacher this seriously saves me much needed time.
I usually take soup around 7 in morning but some times don’t eat lunch till around 2pm … yet the soup tends to be just right.
I suggest pouring kettle water into Thermos and leaving it for 10 mins prior to actually putting soup in. Makes a difference.
Looking forward to taking it with me to hikes and on long car journeys.
I absolutely LOVE the thermos brand as I really rate how long they retain heat. I have tried countless non-branded food flasks (esp ones designed for babies/children) and they’ve always been rubbish, food would be stone-cold only 2 hours later. I’ve thrown away so many, so decided to risk buying a thermos food flask even though I wasn’t keen on the price. But once I got it, I wish I had bought it sooner! I’ve definitely saved money using these flasks as it stops me and my husband from buying lunch out. I have 3 food flasks now, 2x 470ml flask (this purchase) and 1x 710ml flask.
TIPS: I always fill the flask with boiling water and put the lid on for a few minutes whilst I heat up the food. Once food is ready to go in, I tip out the boiling water and fill immediately with food. I also always dice and mix the dish before putting it in, I’ve tried layering before (I.e: meat on top of mash Potatoes) and it’s just a pain. Always dice the meat and mix with the carb. Looks awful but tastes better.
I use the 470ml REGULARLY, I send my husband to work with a food flask everyday as he works outdoors and really appreciates a hot lunch in the winter. He leaves the house in between 6.30-7.30am and eats lunch around 1pm and his food is always hot. Not hot enough to blow, but hotter than “warm”. He declares it perfect eating temperature, and has to leave the lid off to let the food cool if he eats lunch before 1pm. He normally has a pasta dish of some sort, which I layer with mozzarella/cheddar cheese straight from the fridge – this is melted and stringy by the time he eats it. No, I’m not an oppressed wife. Just a feeder.
I also use this food flask for my 3 year old daughter as the selection at most softplays, suck ass. I also despise buying her a lunch for her to refuse it so I find the flask is an excellent alternative, I can fill it with food I know she’ll eat, it is (usually) healthier, and it’s cheaper! (Also if she doesn’t eat right away she can eat later and it’s still warm). We normally have leftovers (rice, noodles or pasta dishes). I tend to make her lunch 2-3 hours before she eats it, and it’s always too hot to serve straight from the flask. I once made her a pasta dish for lunch around 10am, but the softplay was dead quiet and I felt awkward next to a massive “only you only eat food purchased from [softplayname]”; unfortunately, my daughter goes to nursery with the softplay owner. So, I didn’t take out the flask there, but I was still out by 5pm (daughters dinner time) and decided to see how the pasta was and it was still warm! Warm enough for both of us to eat but I didn’t have to blow on the fork or anything.
Cons:
1: With any metal food flask, getting the odour out is always a pain. To combat this I use 1x tsp of bicarbonate and pour in white vinegar until it bubbles up and fills the whole flask. Once this calms down I fill it up with boiling hot water and leave for a few hours or overnight, then empty and clean as normal. Bit of a faff but it works. I have put mine in the dishwasher and the flask is perfectly fine but it does pick up a soapy odour which also annoys me so I hand wash it.
2: THE SPOON! If you only plan on eating soup then this won’t be an issue for you, but I never use my flask for soup, I wish it came with a spork! I always have to bring a fork with me which is a pain if I forget it, and putting dirty and used forks back in my bag is not ideal. Plus husband keeps leaving forks in his van. Annoying.

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.

Really useful!
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!
Great everyday lunch accessory!
Excellent, spur of the moment purchase on Amazon Daily Offers. Intended as a stocking filler. Turns out to be one of the most successful and useful Christmas presents. Very well received. Does everything its supposed to. Well recommended.
Money & Time Saver, Great Quality & 50-Year Warranty
This food flask is undoubtedly a money and time saver.
It is a safe idea to use in school lunch packs, and its quality & efficiency are just brilliant.
With a 50-year free warranty, this is certainly a great & worthy product.
I wish, though, that it could be cleaned in the dishwasher, but washing it with a soft/silicone brush, mild washing liquid and warm water can produce just as good and even quicker cleaning results. Thank you.
Hot food wherever you are..
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.
