Product Information

Finally, think about how easy it is to clean. Some flasks are dishwasher safe but it’s almost always better to wash it by hand. For this reason, a flask with a wider opening is generally better. For kids, there are smaller capacity ones of around 300ml. These don’t weigh as much, will fit into lunch boxes and, as kids generally eat less, there’s nothing going to waste.

Next, think about how long you would need to keep your food warm for. Look for ones that will retain heat for at least six hours. Promising to keep food hot for up to 6 hours and cold for up to 10 hours, Keetan’s food flask is a large-volume choice with a decent heat retention time. Counting on vacuum insulation between two layers of kitchen-grade stainless-steel, as well as a copper coating on the internal layer, it not only has good temperature retention but is also easy to clean. Available in 3 colours it’s a simple but stylish affair; blue is pictured, but red and stainless-steel silver are also for sale. The lid can be a major functional part of any kind of flask. Just like drinks flask which utilise the lid as a miniature cup/mug, so do food flasks have convertible lids. It might be a pertinent consideration, especially if you’re getting a food flask for camping or hiking trips, to have a flask with a lid that doubles up as a bowl. Some also come with foldable spoons, meaning cutlery becomes one less thing that you have to bring. Materials Sandwiched between the inner and outer layers is a void - this vacuum stops the heat from the inner layer reaching the outer layer as heat can only be conducted through particles, whether it’s in the air, through liquids or solids. However, the silky smooth stainless steel finish made tightening and loosening the lid much harder. On the plus side, this made cleaning it super easy - handy as it can’t go in the dishwasher.What we particularly liked about this one was the range of colours it’s available in, meaning it’s easy to get a shade you like. Of course, one of the main reasons to buy a flask is to keep hot food hot. As such, heat retention is another of the most important factors to consider before buying. This heat retention time can vary hugely between around 4 hours, up to 12 hours and potentially even longer than that. This means that you have to factor in how, where and when you intend to use your flask. For single portions, a few hours is probably fine, but on longer expeditions with multiple meals, you’re naturally going to need one that’ll hold onto that heat for longer. The bright and bold colours and whimsical designs of IGZOM’s food flask make it a great choice for the young and young at heart alike. With 9 varieties including the plain pink option pictured, some of which are cutesy animal designs, it’s sure to bring a smile to your face come lunchtime. Made from 2 layers of food-grade stainless-steel separated by a layer of vacuum insulation, it will keep food warm for up to 6 hours and cold for up to 12 hours.

The amount of food you can get into your flask should be one of the main considerations you make when looking for the right food flask. Nobody knows your appetite and eating habits better than you do, so take a close look at the volumes of the flasks you’re considering and weigh that up against how much you’d be looking to carry. After all, it defeats the point somewhat if you can only fit half a lunch portion in what you’ve bought, or on the other end of the spectrum, buy one that’s too big and realise you’ve wasted money on flask volume you just won’t fill. Also bear in mind how many people you’re feeding – one large flask might feed two, if you’re going on a trip somewhere and are trying to economise on how much to take with you. Lid There’s no inner lid or cutlery with this one, nor does it promise to keep your food warm or cold for a specific amount of time.

The Hydro Flask insulated food jar was one of the simplest designs we tried and the 28oz (828ml) version offered some serious capacity. You can also get a smaller 20oz (591ml) version, though. Zwilling’s understated food flask is available in just one colour - a white base with a grey lid - and it looks and feels like a food jar for grown-ups. The leak-proof design also promises to keep your food hot for up to six hours or cold for up to eight. Inside the grey lid you’ll find a second screw-top lid that houses a foldable spoon. Hiding underneath this is a nifty button that you can press to release the vacuum seal in the container, making it easier to unscrew. To remove this, simply add a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar to the flask and top it up with water. Leave this for a couple of hours or overnight to give it time to work.The ones that will keep your food warm for longer will generally cost more, but they can also be more versatile. When we tested this flask, it kept the contents piping hot until we were ready to enjoy it and the slimline frame meant it was easy to store in our lunch bags or take on the go.

Heat retention time is claimed at a massive 24 hours for hot food, as well as up to 36 hours for cold food (subject to outside temperatures), making it a great choice for any all-day affairs.
