Thermos Sipp 16-Ounce Stainless Steel Food Jar, Black

 (22 customer reviews)

The Thermos Sipp style keeps food hot much better than the Thermos Nissan style. I did a side-by-side test by pouring boiling water into each (after pre-warming as the directions say) and letting them sit in my warm kitchen for 3 hours. After 3 hours, the Nissan bottle temp was down in the unsafe range (below 140 degrees). The Sipp was 162 degrees. Tested another Sipp and got same results. Took the Nissan style back to the StuffMart.

I was looking for a food container that wasn't made of plastic and was convenient - with a thermos, I never have to worry about finding a microwave, and thus packing food is really convenient. As a student, I don't always have access to heating my food. I wanted a thermos with a nice form factor, and thought this shape was a lot more aesthetically pleasing than the Stainless King. I have used drink tumblers from the Thermos Sipp line, and they have insulated extraordinarily well. I was hoping to find more reviews but took the leap and I don't regret it at all! The easiest way to use a steel thermos is to pre-heat it with hot water before use. Then, food will stay at practically the same temperature until you decide to eat it! The food definitely stays hot (and I don't mean lukewarm) for at least a few hours, but I have not tested it for longer. I have not had any problems with leaks, and the thermos design is very simple: one lid with a gasket, and one jar.

I make scrambled eggs with egg whites every morning before work, and I simply add the eggs right from the pan, and eat them at work. Due to my busy schedule, this is my only option, and the eggs are always piping hot and fresh whenever I get a chance to eat them. I also use the sipp water bottle and travel bottle, and all 3 not only work great, but look very sexy also.
