Thermos Food Jar For Hot Food & Soup with Bamboo Spoon. Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Lunch Container, Metal Food Flask,Vacuum Insulated & Leak Proof (Medium /14oz)

We have been using this thermos from Bklyn Bento over last three years and we love em so much! We even recently replaced them. They are one of the most sturdy and reliable designs we’ve ever encountered and my son loves using them daily basis. Super easy to clean and keeps food hot!Recently, my son lost one of his thermos’ part (it’s a ring that goes on the body to keep the cap tightens securely) and we emailed the company to see if we could purchase it separately. Marc, the owner emailed me back in less than an hour to respond and to let me know that they would ship the replacement part out to me free of charge. I was more than happy to get this respond back from the small company who cares very much and which led me to write this review!Thanks, again!

Well done Bklyn Steel! I’m an avid soup lover and have too many thermoses to admit to. Thought I’d treat myself to a new thermos and found this bad-boy on Amazon. Visually I liked the look so I thought I’d give it a try. SO GLAD I DID! It looks even better in person and it retains heat really well. I’m pretty sure it hold the heat better than the others brands I use. I have not tried it for cold drinks or foods yet so I can’t comment on that. I imagine it would work just as well if used for iced coffee or chilled fruit etc. I’ll try it as a “mini cooler” when packing for the beach and will try to update this review.There are no issues with this thermos leaking; and you do not need to travel with it in the upright position. I travel with mine horizontal in my work bag and no leakage. As for aesthetics, I’d be shocked if you don’t get compliments on this thing. Simply put, it’s a good looking product that works as advertised. You can’t tell from the pictures, but the cap is not real wood. I imagine this is so it doesn’t warp with hot items. The wood grain design is some kind of silk screening (I think) and has a “velvety soft” texture feel to it. Surprisingly, this became one of my favorite parts of this thermos.For new thermos users; below is the best way to use this – or any other thermos you buy.INSTRUCTIONS:Heat up the thermos before putting your food in it.This is the trick to keeping your food hot for hours.I use Boiling Water to pre-heat my thermos. Keep in mind the hotter you pre-heat your thermos the hotter your food will be when you (or your kids) eat lunch. I fill up my thermos with water, and then pour it into a pot. Since you’re not boiling a large pot of water it comes to a boil fairly quick. If you prefer to boil your water in a microwave, be sure to use a MICROWAVE SAFE CONTAINER. NOT IN YOUR THERMOS. Then pour the hot water in your thermos and gently close the lid to keep all the heat in. Wait 15 minutes. By the time I get my lunch nice and hot and get ready to head out to work it’s at least 15 minutes for me (sometimes longer since I’m in slow-motion prior to my coffee… haha). This process heats up the inside of your thermos. After you pour out the hot water and put your hot soup or food inside close the lid. You don’t need to close it real tight. A snug close works best. When using a stainless steel thermos (recommended) the metal will slowly expand due to the heat making the lid slightly tighter over time. Best to go with a snug closure; don’t worry this thing won’t leak on you.CLEANING:There is a black rim that covers the top of the stainless steel (the part your mouth would touch if you drank straight from the thermos). SEE ATTACHED PHOTO. Remove that part and hand wash your thermos, the black rim and the lid with warm soapy water. Air dry. The packaging says its “top-rack dishwasher safe” but I don’t want to risk it and I recommend hand washing. In my past experience, over time a dishwasher can ruin a thermos – I don’t want to risk it with this product or any of my other thermoses for that matter. It’s an “easy clean” by hand.PICS:I posted a pic explaining the black removable rim because I did not realize this was removable at first. This product seems to work with or without the back rim. My personal preference is to keep it on. If you drink your soup to the last drop like I do your mouth doesn’t touch metal. It’s a well thought out product design. It’s surprising that other manufacturers don’t do this. I think they’ll catch on with time and most thermoses will have this feature soon.CONCLUSION:LOVE THIS THERMOS!!!!!

I’m very happy with this purchase. I found this gem browsing on Amazon for a food jar that will keep my food hot and decided to give it a try. I ordered two. One of each color in the large size. I just received the black one and right away I put it to the test. I followed the instructions that came in the box and 4.5 hours later my food still hot. The spoon that came with it is perfect and now I can do my part for the environment by not using disposable plastic wares, food containers or the add to the mounds of paper cups and their plastic lids. This food jar has a wide mouth so eating food from it is easy and cleaning it is a snap. I hand wash it. Not risking ruining such a great product by running it through the dishwasher at high temperatures. The jar is pleasing to the eye and I can’t wait till the white one comes! If you’re thinking about it, just get it. The price is decent and it looks great. It’s easy to carry and store in your bag with no worries — it’s leakproof. This is definitely one of my better purchases! Hopefully they will make it in a larger size like 32 ounces. I will definitely be getting them if they do.

I bought this for my daughter to use for her lunches so it gets used just about every day. We do handwash it. You can take everything apart on this and clean it which I definitely love. I was unaware that the black ring could be removed so I wasn't taking that off. When I finally realized it came off, there was some very unfriendly mold on the inner gasket. I cleaned it the best I could and contacted the company to see if I could get new seals and they graciously have mailed out new seals for me at no cost. Fantastic customer service. If it's not included already, the only thing I would recommend is to have a note or diagram in there to show people that you can take everything apart so they don't get mold as I did. We also have bought the rectangle stainless box and small round container and they are the best I have gotten ever! The silicone lids feel higher quality than other companies I have purchased from. They are DEFINITELY leak proof. I like how you can feel a little click on the silicone as you seal it. I will definitely be purchasing from them in the future. Thanks so much for making such great products!!!

I do not always have access to a microwave on a job site and in the cold months a sandwich doesn't always hit the spot. My foremost requirement was size, I wanted capacity for an entire can of Progresso or Campbell's Chunky Soup. The largest offering was gracious plenty. I filled the thermos with boiling water, sealed it and left it while I got ready for work. Then I added my heated soup, its very important to do this. If you add room temperature or refrigerated food it will cool the preheated thermos. This was all done around 7am and at noon I had a nicely warm soup. Mind you it was not scalding and steaming hot, rather it was the perfect temperature for eating.

This is an update to my previous review. It only lasted 3 months and I took the effort of hand washing every time to make sure it lasted. The lid feel off and the glue is now exposed. The food is also not keeping warm as before but rather a luke warm that doesn’t meet safety standards. Short lived.——-Finally one thermos that works. I needed it for my kid to bring to school and all the children’s ones including Thermos brand would keep warm for a couple or maybe three hours, no more. This one keeps for 5ish. Not a miracle but enough for morning to lunch time. Worth it.

Not impressed, food is barely warm by lunch time even though it was preheated and kept in a insulated lunch kit in a warm vehicle.

I don’t like it. It’s not good for keeping the food warm. I use it for a month and I disappointed.

A lot smaller than expected (I don't have a good grasp of volume!) but it is neat and so far has kept food warm. I had intended to use it to keep dinner warm for dinner parties but I think it's really meant to keep lunch bags warm.
