Thermos food flask recommendations

Can anyone recommend a thermos food flask suitable for an 11 year old to open and carry. It needs to be leak proof and not easily breakable too. She wants to take things like pasta and soup to school which I am happy to do as would like her to have something warm once the weather gets colder. Just don’t want to buy several different flasks as they leak or break etc. thanks.

I'd second the Thermos - hasn't leaked yet and keeps food hot for hours.

My dd has a thermos one and a SHO one. The SHO one is a bit bigger and bulkier. When she uses them she takes her own fork

This is the one dd has. She's taken pasta and noodles in it

It's easy to fill and DS (16) finds it easy to eat from. The little folding spoon is useful, but he also takes a metal spork (from Amazon) for noodles etc

we have the Thermos one and some from IKEA. We all prefer the IKEA ones (DC use them lots at school) and they are at least half the price of the Thermos.

We had a thermos one but more than once the lid got welded on so tight that we couldn't get it off, until the final time, when I even tried putting it in a vice, sitting it in boiling water, and we still couldn't get it off and had to throw it away.

So my recommendation is to get one with the little button that releases the pressure (well, vacuum I suppose) - since we got one of those it's been plain sailing.
