DaCoolFood Thermo for Hot Food Insulated Food Jar 16 Ounce Vacuum Stainless Kids Lunch Thermo Container Bento for Kids Adult with Spoon Leakproof for School Office Picnic Travel Outdoors,Cyan Blue

I did a ton of searching for a good thermos - my kiddo was tired of sandwiches and hates school lunches. This little thermos is a game-changer! I heat it up with boiling water as recommended, warm the food and it's perfect eating temp by lunch time (approx 5 hours). The whole process takes about 7 minutes in the morning while we're making breakfast - I don't even bother drying it, just let it sit upside down for a minute and its hot enough that the leftover water will mostly evaporate before I fill it. I find it easiest to use my food scale to weigh out the leftovers the night before so I always know I have the correct amount - it easily holds around 400mls. The first couple times, I heated the food too much and it was too hot for him to eat at lunch! There's been a couple times I've gone to clean it after school (10-ish hours later) and the leftovers are still tepid. Cleans up quickly and the included spoon is a nice touch. The seal can be removed for washing and is very good quality. He can open it himself (10yo) easily as long as I don't crank the lid on super tight (it doesn't need to be, I rate it super highly on being leak-proof). We've had it for a couple months now and use it every school day, it still looks like new. 10/10 would recommend!**tip - make sure to clean it every night, it gets smelly quick if left overnight with scraps/leftovers. Just a quick hand-wash and air dry overnight. That's in the instructions, and spot-on. Make sure to not let that happen! It does still clean well, but I imagine if left for several days, it would start to affect the sealing ring.Side note - We've never tried it with cold food, only hot. I'm interested to see how it would perform with like - ice cream or a smoothie if primed with ice first! That'll be a spring/summer thing. :-)

I purchased this insulated lunch box for my husband, who often works demanding 8–16 hour shifts. He absolutely loves it! This is actually the second one I’ve purchased for him because it’s been so reliable.I pack his meals in it (a good amount of food fits in there), and even after 10 hours, the food is still warm—not piping hot at that point, but definitely far better than eating a cold meal. If he had a standard shift and ate within 4–5 hours, his food would still be hot. The heat retention is impressive.I hand wash these and love that it comes with a spoon. I also like to add cute stickers to make it more personal. I did notice that our older one has a few dents—probably from my husband dropping it (LOL)—but aside from that, it’s held up really well and continues to perform just as expected.Highly recommend this lunch box for anyone needing dependable insulation and durability for long workdays.

My daughter had been asking for a thermos so she could take hot food in her lunch to school. She got this for Christmas and loves it! I heat the food up around 6:30 am and at 1130 am she says it’s still warm. I even had to put an ice pack in her lunch for the other food items and the food in the thermos stayed warm. It’s nice quality but not too heavy and can hold quite a bit of food. I haven’t noticed it holding any smell. I put spaghetti in it and it didn’t stain any part of the thermos. I’ve put soup in it and no issues with leaking. I am very pleased with this product!

Great product. Keeps food warm for more than half a day. The spoon is a great addition. Durable interior materials.Easily dents very bad on dropping. Be careful

It's a nice color, enough space, and keeps hot for more than 5 hours, washes easily, but I don't like a spoon with cheap quality

We use this for my husband who works restaurant hours. We only use it once or twice a week, mostly for soup, but sometimes for other food like noodles or fried rice. He usually waits to eat this on his dinner break and always praises how it's still hot after 7 hours. The lid does stain a bit, and he does not really use the spoon so this rating is not reflective of those aspects. But as a bowl and food thermos, this has been super effective. He's now asking to see if they make this in bento sizes for other meals because he's disappointed in our other insulated options. All in all, this product has been a great addition for our household.

I really like this thermos, we’ve been using it a few months now since it was a Christmas present for my daughter- age 10. I find the spoon is a little too stiff to unfold for her ..or generally as a parent it’s too painful watching her try because she’s probably trying to unfold it the wrong way. - either way she’s my gift to society so I digress. The thermos does the trick hasn’t stained the inside or even the teal outer at all - and there has been plenty of tomato soup in it. Soup stayed very hot 6 hours later at least. I prefer to fill it with scalding hot tap water to warm the stainless steel while I pretty much boil the soup in a Pyrex glass measuring cup in the microwave. It’s one of my mom tricks… you’re welcome. It holds an entire 19oz can of Progresso Hearty soup easily. It hasn’t spilled in the lunchbox, didn’t smell weird when we opened it brand new- doesn’t retain any funk stink after washing a weeks worth of winter vacation forgotten nutrition out of it.My kid has put plenty of vinyl stickers on it so no one else in the family would be caught dead borrowing it. The surface holds the stickers, hasn’t chipped or scratched. Im impressed enough. Hope the review helps.

After a year of using every day, the color starts to peel. But it keeps food hot for about 5 hours. I also bought the blue and the color is still good. If you don’t hand dry it will get mold so make sure to dry after
