“Having not seen the product physically before purchase, I should and would have got the smaller item. To fill this up is too much food for me, so my lunch was warm not not after 4.5 hours.”

“I’ve owned a lot of flasks & spent a lot of time outdoors, so I’ve had a lot of flasks. This food flask is as good as food flasks get, but food flasks have a problem. They have to have a wide opening, to get at the food & this is where heat can escape. Using the very unscientific method of filling it with boiling water & feeling the side of the flask, reveals no heat loss through the body of the flask. All good. The flask comes with two lids (& a bowl) when you put the inner lid on, it soon warms up, meaning heat loss, but remember it’s got a very wide opining to cover, so the inner stopper has a really tough job on its hands. The second, outer top will is double walled & can clearly arrest a good section of this heat loss. Don’t treat it like a drinks flask, which has a much easier life, because a) the food inside a drinks flask has a much lower surface area & b) the opining is much narrower than a food flask. My tips to get 4 to 5 hours of piping hot food out of a food flask. 1) pre heat the flask with boiling water, for at least 5 minutes before putting your food in. 2) leave it as late as possible before putting the food in & get it as hot as possible. 3) fill the flask to the maximum, even if your not going to eat it all, what you do eat will be hotter, because it will take the greater volume longer to loose heat. 4) get both lids on as soon as possible. The SHO food flask is very well made, with that almost impossible to define feeling of quality about it. If SHO can think of a way of improving the stoppers insulation it can be only good, but I suspect that the stopper is probably as good as technology can produce, whilst still being affordable. The stopper is not a poor quality item, it’s just fighting the rules of physics, a fluid that has a wide surface area, so losses more heat than the same volume in a “drinks” flask & has to “stopper” a much wider area than a drinks flask. I suspect this SHO flask is probably as good as any food flask, but no food flask is going to perform as well as a drinks flask. I was that impressed with the overall quality I ordered a fortis flask this morning, to stop me buying chilled bottled water every morning.”

“The food flask is a good size and does keep my lunch warm until lunch, it would have been nice to get a plastic spoon or fork with it but that only because I hate the noise metal makes on the inside”

“Fantastic!! Was recommended by planning emporium and me and my colleagues all ended up ordering one the same day. Came in about 2 days, Amazing speedy delivery and have recommended for the rest of the office to get the normal flasks. Great Company and love the email confirmations. Secure site. 5/5. Am planning on buying a few mini flasks to hold milk in for my little babies feeds.”

“Looks good, but quite bulky. Food was warm but not as hot as I expected. My daughter had the same and says her lunch remained hot. I will try again following the simple instructions to warm the flask beforehand.”

“I bought a couple of these in both sizes for family members who work shifts and enable them to have a hot or cold snack while at work and on the go. So far no complaints ...obviously well pleased!”
