This review is from: NEW THERMOS SK3000MB4 16-OZ STAINLESS STEEL VACUUM INSULATED KING FOOD JAR WITH SPOON (Electronics)
I bought a couple of these last year for me and my husband so that I can pack soup for us to take to work for lunch. I'd previously bought another product that didn't keep the soup hot and leaked all over the place, so was looking around for something from a more reliable manufacturer that would also meet my requirement of being able to fit in the available space in our lunch bags, with a lid that doubles as a bowl to eat from.

The Thermos sk3000mb4 is rated 9 hours for cold food, 7 hours for hot. While I can't attest to its cold rating, hot food seems to stay "hot" for nearly 5 hours. After that it's more like warm food.
Overall, this is a great food jar that allows me to happily avoid paying outrageous on mountain food prices and has paid for...Read more
