THERMOSStainless King Vacuum-Insulated Food Jar with Spoon, 16 Ounce, Midnight Blue

I like to take hot soup or tea with me for winter outings. This pint container has proven to be durable, keeps liquids hot for at least a half day and is easy to clean. If you drop it, it may dent, but being all metal, it survives and continues to do its job. The wide mouth makes it easy to eat from for stews or drink from. The screw on cap can be used as a serving bowl so you can share the contents with someone.

This is a perfect size for soups or any thing warm. We have done Chinese food in it a lot of different things because it’s easy to clean and start all over again. It keeps foods either hot or cold for 12 hours easily.

I needed a thermos and did not have one. I was going hiking in the woods with my oldest daughter and her family on a nice fall day. I needed something to keep my chili hot for lunchtime. This was the perfect size container. The size fools you as it holds a lot and kept my chili pipping hot. The thermos was easy to open and did not leak at all. The Thermos brand lives up to it's name as the quality of this is very durable. I love that it has a spoon that folds and is placed in the lid. No worries about carrying or loosing utensils. So glad I bought my own! This will make a great gift too.

You can't go wrong with this brand and there's really not much to say about this little thermos except it does exactly what it's supposed to do! It keeps cold things cold and hot things hot. I got it for my future father-in-law and he has put everything from coffee to soup in it, and it works like a charm. Oh, it fit's nicely in the top of the Carhartt lunchbox by the way---or in the bottom due to its size.

THIS THING KEEPS MY LUNCH HOT AFTER HOURS OF STORAGE AND AIR SEALED TIGHT. WHY I GAVE THIS ITEM 4 STARS IS THAT IT COULD WORK ON ITS LOCKING THREAD ON ITS CAP IT TENDS AT TIMES TO REQUIRE TO BE RESEALED TO BE OPENED AS ITS AIR TIGHT WITH THE HEAT. IT COMES WITH A FOLDABLE SPORK WHICH IS GOOD FOR STORAGE. IT IS ALSO EASY TO WASH AND APPEARS TO NOT GET RUST AFTER EACH WASH MAKING THIS A DURABLE PRODUCT.

I purchased three of these for my kids lunches. I’ve given them soup, pasta with butter and the food stays warm (over 4 hours later) and It has never leaked. Lid closes tightly and securely and opens easily. My kids are teenagers with big appetites and these hold more than enough for their lunch. Considering I wash these in the dishwasher (top rack) and the outside color (red) hasn’t chipped or faded, they are very durable and well made. The spoon is adorable, added bonus. I recommend thermos brand for the quality. I’ve had other brands and they pale in comparison. Price was great too. Highly recommend

This has been my favorite of all the hot lunch travel containers. I purchased two of this product, as well as two each of the 24 oz container and the 10 oz container. It has kept foods warm for 9 hours so far, with the best results being soups and other mainly liquid based items. My husband and I have both been using these containers most weekdays for the last 3 months and have had no issues. We both live and work in a city and rely on public transportation to get around, so our bags get tossed around and smushed, but absolutely no leaks thus far with this or the 24 oz version.This is the perfect amount of food for me, but it's a little too small for my husband, who prefers the 24 oz container.PROS:Does as advertised and keeps food hot for hoursDurable constructionEasy to clean (see cleaning tips for more info)Completely leak proof!!CONS:"footprint" is slightly large considering the sizeSpoon is useful but harder to clean because it folds (I put it through the dishwasher)Must be careful to not over tighten the lid while food is hot or it's hard to open laterHOW TO USE:Either heat water in the microwave or if you have very hot tap water, fill the container with heated waterCap using the inner screwtop lidWait 10-15 minutes, using this time to heat up whatever you'll want to eat for lunchPour out water and fill with foodClose inner lid (be careful how tight you screw the lid on, as it cools slightly this makes it hard to open)Wait until lunch and eat hot to warm food depending on how long it's beenCLEANING:You'll notice in the detailed picture that there is a clear silicon seal around the inner lid. Others have noted that they can't get this clean and mold grows. I slip this ring off and clean all parts separately, by hand, then allow them to air dry. Even with near daily use they still work wonderfully! If anything, I'm thinking about purchasing a few more because I'm lazy and wouldn't mind having one I could bring additional cold items in.PHOTO DESCRIPTION:The first photo is a comparison of each of the three models I've purchased. You'll see a size comparison between an iPhone 4 and an Amazon Kindle (and a Border Collie leering in the background).The second photo is all the components with the same scale reference of an iPhone 4. These are the parts from TWO containers so I could so all the different aspects and parts at the same time.Items mentioned and shown in the photos:Thermos Stainless Steel King 24 Ounce Food, Midnight BlueTHERMOS FOOGO Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel 10-Ounce Food Jar, Charcoal/Teal
