OMG – Game changing flask. I’d used a different food flask and by lunchtime my food was cold. I usually fill it up around 5:30 and open to eat at midday – sometimes it’s been as late at 3. Steam comes out and the food is piping hot still. Absolutely fantastic product. Thrilled with this. It’s made packed lunches much much more interesting. I’ve had soup, spag Bol, curries, risotto, chilli, Katsu chicken even and every time it’s stayed hot. Highly recommended – so good I bought 2!!!
Pretty impressed. I tested it with boiling water and left it overnight and it was still hot enough to be uncomfortable to touch the water the afternoon next day.
If you have a big appetite then I would recommend getting a bigger one though
This is an excellent product. I use it most days at work. I’m outside for 6 hours a day and prepare my lunch early in the morning. The flask keeps my stews and curries hot. So good to look forward to in cold and wet weather. Makes so much difference to my day. Nothing more disappointing than tepid food, this keeps everything tip top hot! Love the silver collapsible spoon. Only thing is it’s made for right handers and tends to want to fold up as you use it. Can be held straight with a finger though. Also flask is a little on the small side but they do come bigger I see. Great product overall
I was using a Bodum insulated mug to keep my mums soup warm until lunch while I went to work but it was small and was difficult for my mum to open it sometimes as she was bed ridden at the time.
I bought this and it surprised my mum that the soup was really hot when she got to it compared to the bodum.
No complaints from her. I am pleased with the purchase.
Other comments about needing the heat up with boiling water first are correct, definitely makes the warmth last longer, doing this I put food in at around 6.30am and eating lunch at 1pm food is still warm
Bought this for my son to take into work he was delighted unfortunately can’t score for leak proof or warmth as flask has not been used as yet. The size and the fact the spoon carried in lid was a big hi

Perfect size for my 11 year old’s lunch, we even use it at home and I will cook her lunch in the morning and then leave it for her if I am having a nap. Ideal.
Keeps everything nice and hot. Good size for soup. Well worth the extra money compared to other brands.
No leaks yet.
A Christmas present for my sister, she swears by thermos fantastic price, good quality. She makes her lunch in the morning and it is still very hot by lunch time even if does not get to eat until 2, 3 in the afternoon. It has never leaked, and they last year’s.
Love the fact that this can be used for a variety of things and is a great size for work etc. As with all flasks can always keep the product hotter for longer. Colour was not what I wanted but was the cheapest!
I absolutely love my soup flask. As long as you heat the flask first for 5 mins with boiling water (I do it while heating the soup), it keeps the soup hot until lunchtime. My only slight criticism is I’d love it to be a little bigger, but I still love it!

Bought one for each of the children for their school lunches. Apparently lovely and hot (I do fill with boiling water to pre heat) and they both love them
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.

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.

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.
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.
My son loves this. He has his lunch in it most days 4hrs after I’ve put it in the flask and says it’s still hot at lunch time.
Holds a tin of soup no problem or a good sized portion of food to fill his teenage belly.
Great purchase. I work 12-hr shifts and wanted a flask to keep soup warm for lunches. This does the trick. I warm it with boiling water first and make sure the soup is very hot before adding it to the flask. Keeps hot until lunchtime and warm till the late afternoon. Would definitely recommend. The fold out spoon is great too. Portion size is perfect for one person.
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.
Bought these as wanted gifts for daughter and husband who already have exactly the same ones which they leave down their caravan. As they are so useful, they asked if I would buy another set so they can keep them at home. These ones haven’t been used yet but are exactly the same as the ones they DO use so that is why I can recommend them, even though they have not yet received them from us (part of Christmas present).
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!
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

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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
Perfect in every way. The design of the flask and colours are lovely, food stays warm for more than 12 hours, I work on a ward and it would still be warm after 12 hour shift, the cap is a great tight seal with no leaks. Inside the cup is also a spoon so really handy. Well worth the extra money, a valued purchase to the point I would not pay for a cheap one, as I said, it’s worth the money
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Sleek simple design, good size for a single portion. Wide opening makes it easy to pour in, tipout or just eating straight from it.
Only gripe is that as it’s quite squat and with a glossy finish, it can be hard to grip if you don’t have big hands. A handle or some sort of indentation to enable it to be more easily gripped would be useful
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
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.

I love my Thermos food flask. I get bored of taking sandwiches to work and I won’t use the microwave, the less said about that the better! So the flask is perfect. It holds a lot more than you would think. I put boiling water in 10 minutes before use, slightly over heat the food I’m using and whack it in. I leave it in the staff room at work which is usually colder than an igloo, 5-6 hours later, it’s just the right temperature.
Do try your best not to drop. I dropped mine twice. The first time I managed to cushion the fall my sticking my foot out before it hit the floor resulting in a big lump on my foot, the second time it hit the hard floor and the vacuum must have been broken as it would only keep food luke warm after that. I replaced the flask immediately and try really hard not to drop it now.
My daughter is in year 5 and she wanted bigger flask for her pack lunches. We had same brand but smaller 275ml and were very happy. Also happy with Thermos 470ml product, it came with own spoon, looks great and is definitely larger, but my daughter mentioned that food was warmer in smaller flask. That’s the reason I am giving 4 out of 5 starts
Bored with Sandwiches for lunch ??? Then get this flask.l It seriously does keep food steaming hot till lunchtime. Bought one for my kids packed lunch……..and he now has hot food everyday.
Warm the flask with boiling water from the kettle, for about 3 mins, before putting your food in. Our flasks go into lunch boxes to ………the kids say their food is still almost too hot to eat at lunchtime. They love them. Great for Pastas, soups, beans, rice…..pretty much anything you want hot. A must to eliminate the boredom of the sandwich.
An ideal size for things like lunch time soup / pasta etc in terms of portion size, I have rated 4 star for two reasons.
1) you have to almost super heat the food to ensure that it is hot 6 hours later
2) the spoon, certainly in terms of eating soup, is not deep enough
Other than these two issues the plus sides thus far
– Easy enough to clean
– It is light and sturdy
– Watertigh
What an incredible product, brought to take soup to work. I usually warm soup in the morning say 7am and pour into the container until lunch time. Soup without fails is always piping hot and the spoon is a fantastic edition, although it does clank around if eating straight from the container. I have also used for ice which has kept the cubes without melting for more then 4 hours.
No faults and another fantastic product from thermos.
A very good purchase for those who crave hot food for those with lifes on the road or outdoors!
Since purchasing mine some months ago I have used it every day, so it is totally worth every penny and has saved myself money from buying hot food whilst travelling between jobs too (which is very handy for myself as someone who is always trying to save money). As long as you remember to heat the food up in the morning, or whenever it is you leave you’ll be enjoying warm food whenever and wherever. I have even taken it for long walks in countryside and bicycle rides too!
My only slight negative would be as a big eater is that I could just fit that bit more inside the flask. Still 5/5 from me!
It suggests it’s 470ml, but it’s 500ml (to the lid). It’s a big too large for a normal tin of soup and tool small for a 500ml. It keeps soup hot for about 4-5 hours. No leaks as yet and easy to clean. The rubber seal of the cap is a pain as it sometimes comes off when it’s cleaned. Still frequently using as a quite happy.
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
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.
This is the business. It takes a standard tin of soup perfectly. I generally fill it with my soup at about 7am and eat lunch at between noon and 1pm and it’s always as hot as when I first put it in.
This is the 4th food flask I’ve tried. I went cheap with the others and it showed. Invest in this Thermos, it’s awesome.
I dont like packing lunch because of the inconvenience of heating up or putting it on the fridge to avoid spoilage. One time, I packed my lunch using the thermos but then the team decided to go out for lunch. So I did not touch my packed lunch until I got home. I left my lunch in my bag (no fridge whatsoever). Surprise surprise, my food is still warm and fresh after almost 8 hours sitting in my bag. Very good product, thumbs up!!!
This looks really small but you can fit a full bowl of soup in this. I would fill this with hot soup at 5.30 am and it is still incredibly hot at 1.30pm. Spoon doesnt hold too much at a time but I guess that encourages you to eat slower? Either way, its great. I have bought one for my boyfriend and some of my colleagues have since bought one too
Once again thermos hasnt let us down. I pour boiling water in from the kettle to warm the flask up first. Keeps everything piping hot. Leakproof so far, easy to clean, a good sized single portion for a hungry person ( hubby has a bottomless pit for stomach)
We bought red so its easier to see in the hovel that is the floor of his car , would buy again without a doub
Only bad thing is, I cannot turn the lid fully as the pressure locks the lid and my daughter cannot open it, so I am mindful to put the lid on but not tight, (quite loose). Because of this I’ve put 4 stars, I could live without the added spoon and rather have a pressure release, please design this for the future (other brands have this function).
I also have another food flask much cheaper than the thermos and the cheaper one is rubbish at keeping the food almost warm by 12pm, so we only use the thermos food flask. I do highly recommend, portion size is good too.
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.

excellent product. i put boiling water in this flask and left it for 30 mins, so it had to time to clean and sterile and preheat.. then put my hot casseroles/soups/ bolognaise ect in, and it was steaming hot approx 8.5 hours later, after id eaten but not eaten it all another two hours later it was still steaming hot, so i finished the dish.
excellent product, leak proof, keeps the heat in, and looks good.
Great item I use it for food not liquid : rice , chicken ect as my little one hates school dinners he has no problem eating his food from it and he says it’s hot until lunch and warm after school. I just pour hot water in it and let it say for a while before putting the food in. It really gave me peace of mind knowing my son is eating a warm meal
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.

Probably one of the best investments of the year! Started a new job where they don’t have microwave so needed something for when I have leftovers! Definitely worth investing if you are looking for something to keep your food warm.
For me it passed the test when I put hot food in the thermos and accidentally put it in the fridge over night. When I got it out in the morning though it was still warm! That’s the moment I knew I can trust it!
Quite expensive, but very well worth the money, excellent at keeping food hot or cold, works well, love neat spoon in lid. A joy to look at in fun colours and easy to use. Best of its kind, i have tried several other brands to save money, false economy as have been sadly lacking. I have several Thermos products and find these are always the top of the range. Highly recommended
I love this flask! I warm it up first by pouring hot water into it. Empty the water then add my hot food at 8am. My food is still hot when my lunchbreak starts at 1pm. It holds much more than you realise – if you fill it then empty the contents onto a plate you’ll find that the plate is full. My only (minor) gripe is that, depending on the direction you’re moving the fork, it sometimes folds back up so if you usually hold it in your left hand, this could be annoying.
This thermos is ideal for a mini hot lunch. Keeping liquids and mini meals at a required temperature for a certain duration. Tip: Pour boiling water into the flask whilst letting your food cool in the same duration for 5 mins. Do not place piping hot food in the thermos as it will be difficult open the flask, as the heat will cause a vacuum suction causing the lid to get stuck! Give it 5mins then add your food. After a minimum 3-4 hours you can eat your hot meal for lunch at work or even the occasional kids school dinner.
I should have really checked the size of this as it came a lot smaller than I anticipated, I can fit 2 very small sweet potatoes and a chicken breast. But I should have read the description more thoroughly.
The build quality is amazing, very sturdy. I can’t see this breaking any time soon. The food stays piping hot for many hours before cooling down, I would make food hot at around 10 am and still struggle to eat food without blowing it at 2pm.
The foldable spoon is a chore to eat with, it fold in on itself very easily, but you kind of get used to it after a while (but I wouldn’t recommend for left handed people).
I like it, I would recommend it as it fits neatly in a bag and it’s well made. Just wish it was slightly bigger.
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.

We love the outdoors and these flasks (we have three) have been just brilliant. We have owned ours now for two years and still working and looking as good as new. They are compact, but hold enough for one person. We like to take soups in them or sometimes a rice pilau. they have not leaked, and keep the food warm for several hours. The wide mouth makes it very easy to hand wash – wouldn’t recommend putting these in a dishwasher as I suspect the colour will begin to fade. Also, be careful while washing as the the rubber seal, which is translucent, comes off quite easily from the lid.
We rarely use the lid as a bowl as the mouth is wide enough so you can eat directly from the flask with a spoon. The spoon itself is a little finikety to use, but conveniently folds up and clips onto the lid.
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.
