Soup flasks aren’t the most expensive items in the world but they naturally have a range of prices according to the quality. It’s a good idea to set a budget and shop within that for anything you buy but remember that it’s often better to buy something a little more expensive that’s going to last and perform well. Design INSULATED food flasks are perfect for hiking trips where you don’t have anywhere to heat up your meals but they can also be great for the office or school. For maximum heat retention, fill your SHO Food Flask to near capacity with food or liquids. Excess empty space will result in less efficient heat retention. This one comes with a feature that the Thermos could do with; it has air vents at the top that allow you to release air before opening. This will prevent any difficulty opening the flask which could result in the contents exploding. It’s a nice little addition and not something you see on all flasks.

Of the food flasks we tested, we think the Thermos Stainless King food flask would be best for soups. Thermos is the most well-known brand for making insulated flasks so they’ve got it down to a fine art.

In general, contents should not be left in the Food Flask for any longer than 24 hours. If contents are left in the flask for longer than 24 hours, or you suspect spoilage, use caution when opening the flask. Spoilage of food inside the flask can cause pressure to build, possibly leading to the forceful ejection of the stopper or contents. In such circumstances, before attempting to open the flask, ensure the opening is pointed away from yourself and any other person. The ones that will keep your food warm for longer will generally cost more, but they can also be more versatile. We're extremely confident in our products quality & our aftercare service. Our Lifetime Guarantee which applies to every SHO product is a true representation of this faith.One of the most interesting things about the soup flask is that it’s actually a great way to keep your food fresher for longer. Since the flask is sealed with a vacuum, it’s incredibly difficult for germs and bacteria to get inside. No oxygen can get in which can speed up the process of spoiling and everything stays fresh and ready to eat.

However, the silky smooth stainless steel finish made tightening and loosening the lid much harder. On the plus side, this made cleaning it super easy - handy as it can’t go in the dishwasher. What we particularly liked about this one was the range of colours it’s available in, meaning it’s easy to get a shade you like.This food flask is made from stainless steel which has a range of benefits. For starters, it’s really lightweight so it won’t weigh you down, but it’s also incredibly durable. On top of this, stainless steel is very resistant to rust so you won’t need to worry about the life of your flask. However, there have been some reports of these flasks exploding upon opening if the food inside is left to cool down. That’s why we would recommend these only for shorter periods of time, like when you need to get from morning to lunch time before eating the food inside. This isn’t something that has happened often but it’s worth noting. Earlier, we talked about how most soup flasks are designed with a stay cool exterior but this isn’t always the case. You’ll want to choose a flask that doesn’t get hot to the touch on the outside as this can lead to burns and is a serious safety issue. Budget We don’t think it’s a huge problem but obviously it depends on how long you’d need to keep your food warm. For a camping trip where you might not eat for hours, it’s not ideal but for the office, the keep-warm time should be sufficient.
