Food flasks, I need a really good one that will keep hot for ages, it's not too much to ask for is it?

[shinyshoes]

I have bought food flasks in the past, i've spent between £4-£6 on them and all of them have been crap.

Is it a case of you get what you pay for?

I need one that will keep food really warm/hot from when I prepare it in the morning until lunchtime.

I have seem Thermos food flasks for around £18.00 but to be honest I don't want to pay it if it's crap but I don't mind paying it if it's good.

Does anyone have a really good one that can recommend, and will keep pasta/rice/soups etc hot for aaaageeesss.

Thank you.

Bumping for you.

Thanks PuzzleRocks

I can remember reading recommendations on the Money Saving Expert site for the ones in Wilkinsons. They're around £5. We don't have a local store so I haven't seen one in the flesh. HTH

I have a stanley make one. It's in the shape of a big mug with a spoon that slots onto the lid. It is all plastic so you can put it in the microwave. I have only used it for porridge which I dont mind less than stonking hot so I am not sure what it would be like for savoury stuff that needs to be hot - soups etc.

I have just bought a Thermos Food Flask from Sainsbury's for £6, and used an old Tesco brand drinks flask for DD's lunch this week. Both said their soup was too hot at lunch.
There was a metal version of the Thermos food flask, which was £19, but I bought the plastic version (still has glass inside, with a plastic inside too so that a spoon won't smash the glass, a compartment in the screw-top lid, and a flippy spoon...!!)

The trick is to fill the flask with hot water so that it is already warm before it is filled with hot soup.

...if you can make any sense of what I have just written the you deserve a medal!
