Thermos Stainless King SK3000MBTRI4 Food Jar, Midnight Blue

This really holds the food HOT. My biggest critics are my kids and they love it. They can finally take hot pasta or soup to school and have a hot meal. But, you MUST follow the instructions. I recommend that you allow the BOILING HOT water to sit in the thermos for a minimum of 15 minutes. Keep in mind you must put piping hot food into the container. The kids tell me that when they open the thermos hot steam comes out and the food is nice and warm. I typically fill the thermos with food around 7:00am and the kids eat lunch anywhere from 12:15 to 1:00 pm. It really seems to work. This was worth the money!

After searching and reading several reviews about the variety of thermos food containers, I settled on this one.
I was sick of microwaving my food everyday, and following a suggestion from a colleague, I decided to start using a stainless steel thermos to keep my food hot!

Oh my goodness, you will NOT go wrong with this item! I put soup in it at 7am in the morning, and it's still piping hot at 1pm when I eat lunch!! It will hold an entire can of Chunky or Progresso soup, which are normally two servings per can, so you have more than enough to eat!
It's a bit pricey, but trust me, it is so well worth it! I use this everyday!
I just ordered two more---one for a Christmas gift,and the other to put my oatmeal or grits in, when I'm rushing in the mornings and don't have time to eat breakfast at home.

Oh yes!! There's a tip that's included with the thermos: If you're putting hot foods in it, then put some hot water in the thermos for about 5...Read more

The best part of this product is the foldable spoon, which I now carry everywhere. I contacted Thermos to see if I could buy another but it's in demand and out of stock. The thermos itself is just the right size for a bowl of soup. I love to use it with tomato soup.

Pros:

* Compact size;
* Folding spoon;
* Easy to clean -- low profile;
* Great price;
* Clip for spoon;
* Tight lid ---- kept temperature for 7 hours --- I burned my tongue.

Negatives:

* Cup is a little small;
* Only comes in one color, like the model T ("They can buy any color they like, as long as it's black."(Henry Ford)).

I am thoroughly happy with the product after using it for 2 months.
