Can you recommend a flask for kids hot lunch?

[OhWhatNoooow]

I've tried a couple flasks that I bought from Fenwick, but my daughter says that the food is cold by lunch time. Does anyone know of a good flask that really keeps the food hot for a good few hours?

DD1 uses one similar to this

[www.gltc.co.uk/fcp/product/-/picnics%20&%20packed%20lunches/Thermos-Food-Pot/10000002086 similar, but different colours]]

With hers, the trick is to make sure it is properly warm before you add the food. I fill it with boiling water, and leave it for 10 minutes or so before putting the food in. It really does work though. She once complained the food was too hot to eat at lunchtime.

sorry, this

I agree with everything Tumblweed said.

My DH has the grown up version of that thermos and it works a treat although sometimes in depends what he puts in it. He heats it up before putting the food in but he found that soup didn't really stay hot until lunchtime however pasta based grub works well

I have a food thermos that I got from John Lewis. Very similar to that one from GLTC but mine is an adult style one. Probably exactly the same but more kiddy friendly! Mine was fine for soup the first time I used it, jut fine though - I would say warm but not hot (and I like food hot) so the second time I used it I warmed it with boiling water from the kettle first then put the piping hot soup in and by lunchtime (which would have been 6-7 hours later) and it was perfect!

DD has this one from Lakeland -

It is very very good. I had kids thermos one before which definitely wasn't as good.
