DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. It does NOT keep things hot. It is NOT a vacuum thermos. When I used it, I pre-warmed it for 5 minutes with boiling water before filling it with piping hot soup. Four hours later, my soup was room temperature. By contrast, I prepared my Nissan thermos the same way at the same time, and filled it with hot tea. Nine hours later it was still nice and hot. Also, this is weirdly bulky. There's about 2" of space between the bottom of the interior and the bottom of the exterior that clearly doesn't help it insulate.
Unfortunately, I threw away the packaging (who knew a thermos could go wrong?) so I can't return it. I purchased a much smaller Primus Lunch Jug Lunch Jug - .50L that holds the same amount. It cost the same as the Trudeau, but it keeps my soup hot all day.

I am a soup person. Enjoy making different kinds of soup and sharing my creations with fellow co-workers.
I have a thermos that keeps coffee HOT all day, Just to small of an opening for cream rock cod soup.
This Food jar has just the righ size opening to carry soups, stews or anything else that you may want to enjoy for lunch.
The 16 oz is good size, easy to carry, large enough opening, BUT it just does not keep foods hot enough buy the time lunch rolls around. This food jar doe's not retain the heat as I expected.
