THERMOS Stainless King Vacuum-Insulated Food Jar with Spoon, 16 Ounce, Matte Black

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.

Excelente , mi hija lo pleva a su escuela y aun al regreso si no ha comido puedes sentir la comida caliente , ella nunca se ha quejado y dice que es muy gratificante poder comer caliente , para que tengan una idea le preparo su comida a las 6.30 am y ella tiene lunch a las 2, excelente calidad y precio.Excellent! My daughter takes it to school, and even when she comes back, if she hasn’t eaten yet, you can still feel the food warm. She’s never complained and says it’s very satisfying to be able to eat a hot meal. Just to give you an idea, I prepare her lunch at 6:30 AM and she eats at 2 PM. Excellent quality and price.

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

My daughter said her chicken and rice was still hot, not warm, after 3 hours when she used it for lunch at school. No leaking, good size, no trouble opening (10yr old) and she loves the color!

This Thermos has been great for my high schooler’s lunches, it keeps food hot/cold all the way until lunchtime. Super sturdy and easy to pack. No leaks, means no messy lunchbox to deal with. If the opening were just a little wider it would be easier to fill and clean, and the spoon holder could be more secure. Still, it’s an excellent product for on-the-go meals!

Keep food hot and cold for my kids who have to wait 5-6 hours for lunch at school. Easy to wash by hand and able to put in the dishwasher. No issues with leaking and we have used for top ramen. Midnight blue is nice color.

I ordered this for my kiddo. It's been a great option for warm lunches. Food storage is great- no leaks and no smell residue after.My kid also finds it easy to use.

I take this food jar to university as a commuter— though it looks small, it’s enough to feed me for one whole meal. I’ve had it for three weeks and it doesn’t take much weight, has not leaked on me, AND has kept my food warm and fresh for plenty of hours. I once kept boiling water in the jar for four hours to cook instant ramen and it cooked it in 3 minutes. I’ve also left some food in the jar for more then 12 hours and it was warm! Never write reviews for products but I just had to for this one.
