Keep Your Food Flask Warm!

A vacuum-insulated flask does not allow any heat transfer, and the inner silver coating, vacuum and outer flask work together to prevent this. The silver prevents radiation and the vacuum stops heat convection, keeping whatever you have placed inside at a steady temperature. So basically, the food or drink that you place inside will retain its original temperature, ensuring that it lasts throughout the day. You don't need to do any more than make sure your food is hot before it goes in!

Insulated Food Flask FAQs

What is a flask?

Sometimes referred to by the brand name 'Thermos', a flask is an insulated container to keep food warm or cold in for hours at a time. Drink and food flasks are shaped like wide bottles with a flat, screw-on top, and are always made of metal, usually stainless steel, with a vacuum-sealed inner chamber.

What foods can I put in a flask?

Soup is a great choice and an ideal solution for keeping you and your hands warm on hikes in the winter. Take coffee and tea wherever you go and always have a caffeine boost to hand. Alternatively, hot chocolate or an Irish coffee are fabulous accompaniments for cold winter walks. Store leftovers to take to work, like curry or stew, as they will taste delicious and stay warm until lunch. Ensure that you use a flask for its purpose, with some flasks being made for food and others for drinks. Always ensure that the lid on your flask has been securely fastened before putting it into your bag or car. However, do not overtighten your flask as this can cause damage.

How do I clean a flask?

Flasks are not dishwasher safe and should be washed with warm water and dish soap. Wash your flask after each use with warm water and washing up liquid. Rinse thoroughly after each use and do not fully immerse the flask in water. It is advised that you do not leave leftover food or drinks in your bottle for long periods of time. Finally, do not use any harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasives and do not store milk products or baby food in your new flask.
