thermos food container?

Post by Tramp »

I know like me others work outdoors and need hot food at breaktime be that when it happens...

so I need something that keeps soup,pasta and rice thingys hot after being microwaved for around 2 hrs....needs to be water tight as stuff does fall over :whistle: ..also handy for solo trail rides in cooler britain..

yes I know reheating rice is bad :P

needs to hold around 1tr capacity....

cheers

The tea in my Thermos mug stays hot for 4 to 5 hours and is much better than the cheaper makes I've previously had.
Lots of 1 litre Thermal Food Flasks on Ebay but can't find a 'Thermos' branded one.

re-heating rice isn't bad at all as long as its been in the fridge as soon as it got cold, then is piping hot before eating again if you choose to reheat

Plus one for the Thermos Mugs.


I got the top of the range "Elements 5" 500ml mug. It keeps stuff hot for 5 or 6 hours - even out in the cold...

Used SS flasks on site for donkeys years , all but unbrakable but like any other once you start using the filling it'll go colder quicker (thumbs)

I have a thermos soup/food flask, one with a wide neck. It'll hold heat for a few hours but it's not as efficient as a tea flask. The insulation is actually non metallic which means you can throw the flask full of food in a microwave oven to reheat the contents. It's also more robust & less likely to split/smash as a glass vacuum flash could.
