Keeps food piping ho
Bought for stews and soups and at break time, 5 hours after putting stew in, it is still so hot i had to blow before eating. And the spoon in the lid is very sturdy. All in all very solid and a great flask. Recommended
Brilliant - now I just need my kid to stop losing the lid
I’ve bought a fair few of these. They are ideal for sending your kids or spouse off out for the day with a hot lunch. No leakages, they keep food really hot (or cold) and wash easily. The fold away spoon is a nice touch.
If using for hot food, remember to fill with hot water first and leave for a few minutes before emptying, drying and then adding the hot food.
Best thermos iv ever had
i saw somebody else with this gorgeous red thermos and thought , i must have one.
The shape being small and squat means i can keep it really clean. i hate the taste of flasks once you have used them.
iv used mine for coffee and then the next day with cold lime water and there is no tainted taste.
i use mine daily on the beach and carry it in a basket on my bike.. i LOVE it.
Grea
Works very well.
Keeps food hot for ages – can preheat with hot water to make heat last even longer.
I use for work lunches. Can also add boiling water to food in the morning and put on lid, by lunchtime the food is cooked e.g. couscous, fine noodles etc
Portion size is for one person only.
Spoon tends to slip closed when using which can be annoying.
Flask is not dishwasher proof so need to hand wash.
Great!
Great item! Good size, sturdy, and keeps food hot (or cold) for hours. Good portion size too and no leaks, and comes with a handy little folding spoon that can be tucked away to prevent it getting lost. Already bought another for my other child and buying more for the rest of the family as perfect for school/work lunches or days out.
Got it! Here’s a naturally written, unbiased review for the Thermos 183270 Stainless King Food Flask in Midnight Blue, 470 ml:
Been using this Thermos Stainless King Food Flask for a bit now, and it’s time I put my thoughts down. This isn’t just any food flask; it’s been a game-changer for my lunch routine. Here’s why:
The Good Stuff:
Keeps Things Hot (or Cold): Seriously, this flask doesn’t play around. I’ve put hot soup in it at 7 AM and come lunchtime at noon, it’s still warm. Same goes for cold stuff; my fruit salad stays cool without getting soggy.
Build Quality: The stainless steel design not only looks sleek in its midnight blue color but feels sturdy. It’s survived a couple of drops without so much as a dent, which is more than I can say for other flasks I’ve owned.
Leak-Proof: I toss this in my bag with zero worries. The lid screws on tight, and there’s been no leakage. It’s nice not having to wrap it in a plastic bag “just in case.”
Perfect Size: With a 470 ml capacity, it’s just right for a single meal serving. Plus, it doesn’t take up too much space in my work bag.
But It’s Not Perfect:
Cleaning: While it’s relatively easy to clean, the narrow opening means you’ll need a bottle brush to get to the bottom properly. Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind.
Preheating/Precooling Needed: For best results, you do need to preheat or precool it with hot/cold water for a few minutes. It adds an extra step to your prep, which can be a bit of a hassle when you’re in a rush.
Final Thoughts:
The Thermos Stainless King Food Flask has become a staple for my daily meal prep. It’s reliable, durable, and looks good while doing its job. The few cons are easily outweighed by how well it keeps my meals at the right temperature. If you’re on the fence about getting one, I’d say go for it. It’s been worth every penny for me, making mealtime something I look forward to with hot food ready to go.
I’m a big fan of thermos and would rate their products highly in terms of expectation and actual product, quality and value.
The Pros-
I’ve now had 4 of these flasks and have found that you can use them twice daily and they hold their heat around four to five hours. you can use six hours however, you will notice that the temperature is cooler.
The Cons –
One query is that they have altered the inside of the lid and I’m left wondering what the little plastic bit is see photo. However, this would not detract from recommending the product.
Cleaning –
recommended for hand wash only hot, soapy, water and a dish or bottle brush is all you need. After about two months use of daily use, the inside can tarnish and look unsightly. I have read this in a number of other reviews. The solution was recommended to me by my Dad. Simply put a single dishwashing tablet into the flask body and pour on very hot water. For example 80 to 90 degrees. No need to use the lid. Fill to top of brim. NB if it is too hot after many times, you will unfortunately the bottom of the flask may become detached so be careful of water isn’t too hot.
Product rating –
I would give it 4 out of 5 on the basis that it will only last a year or two I have found that the bottom of the flask can detach after many uses and cannot be put back together again , the other issue are found in the past is that the rubber around the neck of the flask can loosen with time and can be very difficult to put back on. Leak ability. I have noticed that you do get a good Seal however I would say that I struggle sometimes putting the top lid on , I think this is something that could be explained as it’s not mentioned in the instructions.
Star Rating –
I would give this four out of five and would have no trouble in recommending it most highly.
Manufacturing recommendations –
To improve base of flask so that it does not detach after so many uses and also neck of flask where rubber ring can become loose and detach.
Many thanks for reading. I do hope this was helpful. Kind regards.
I have to start by saying that the Thermos King Food Flask is nothing short of amazing! As someone who loves enjoying hot and delicious meals on the go, this product has been an absolute game-changer for me.
First and foremost, the insulation on this flask is top-notch. Whether I’m packing piping hot soup or cold smoothies, the Thermos King Food Flask delivers every time. It retains the temperature of my food like a pro, and I can always count on it to keep my meals hot for hours or cold as ice, depending on what I need.
The design is not only stylish but also incredibly functional. The wide mouth makes it easy to fill and clean, and the stainless steel interior ensures that my food never retains any unwanted flavors or odors from previous meals. It’s also very durable; I’ve accidentally dropped it a couple of times, and it still looks and performs like new.
The capacity of the flask is fantastic as well, can easily hold a tin of soup or even better something homemade.
The lid is secure and leak-proof, so I can confidently toss it into my bag without worrying about any mess. And the fold-down spoon that comes with it is a thoughtful addition, eliminating the need to carry extra utensils.
Overall, I can’t recommend the Thermos King Food Flask enough. It’s reliable, stylish, and makes mealtime on the go a breeze. Whether you’re a busy professional, a student, or an outdoor enthusiast, this flask will quickly become your go-to companion. Five stars all the way!
This food flask is simply amazing and saves me so much money!
I bought this food flask before starting university as a way for me to save money. Being on a student budget, I find it difficult to find a nice, filling yet healthy lunch which I can buy on campus – and if there are healthy options available they are very over priced. This food flask is the perfect solution for me! I now take home-cooked, healthy food to university every day!
I had read the previous reviews and it seemed to be a good product, so I bought it with fairly high hopes. After the first day of using it I was surprised as to how well the flask kept my food hot. I now take this food flask with me to university every day and have used it for nearly every type of food: curry and rice, pasta bake, lasagne, stir fry, soup, etc. Even quite dry dishes such as lasagne are kept warm (you should add a little boiling water to dry foods to keep them moist and to stop them from drying out in the flask – and this keeps the food warmer for longer)
Before I go to university I fill my flask with boiling water and 10 mins later I empty out the water and fill the flask with my microwave warmed food. I find this is enough time for the inside of the flask to be heated by the boiling water so that your food stays warmer for longer.
On some days, when I have been in a rush, I have filled my flask with microwave warmed food without having pre-heated it with boiling water and when I have come to eat my food at lunch time the food was warm but not hot, so I recommend that you take the extra time to pre-heat it in the morning. (I fill my flask with boiling water before having my breakfast and then empty it after I have finished eating)
I fill my food flask in the morning at around 8am and when I come to eat my lunch between 12-1pm my food is almost always hot (sometimes too hot and I have to leave the lid off for a few minutes for it to cool down!) I even sometimes forget to eat my lunch if I am very busy and eat my food on the way home (4/5pm) and I am sometimes pleasantly surprised to find my food is still quite warm.
My food flask has never leaked and the seal on the lid is very good (I do not close my food flask too tightly as it is sometimes very hard to open after being left for a few hours). The size of the flask is also quite good – I can fit a large bowl of food into the flask.
I have not yet used the flask to store cold foods or liquids but I am sure it would be just as good or even better and would be a great idea to use as a way to cool down on hot summer days (if I am so lucky, here in the north!)
When I come home from university I put my food flask to soak in hot water for 30 mins and then it is very easy to clean. It is not a good idea to leave left over food in the flask for a long time as it becomes smelly and less easy to clean.
The flask comes with a metal spoon which fits in the lid and it is quite noisy against the inside of the flask when you are trying to get the last bits of food out of the bottom. I am sometimes forced to leave a little food in the bottom of the flask if I am eating in a quiet area, however, most of the time the noise is not too much of a problem and I still choose to use the spoon provided. If you eat lunch in a quiet area and do not want to make too much noise when finishing your food, I would suggest buying a small plastic spoon to eat with.
I love this food flask so much that I am buying another, so that I can take two hot meals to university for those long, tiring days!
I give it 5 stars!
