"Love it"
Bought this product as have had numerous food flasks that didn't live up to their promises. I'm glad I didn't take notice of the reviews for this product - as long as you warm the containers with hot water the food stays piping - fab!

Meal In a Flask
Product number: 11614
Stew, potatoes and peas... chilli, rice and something yummy for pudding... A big thank you to Diane McKergan of Coleraine, County Londonderry, who suggested this handy stainless steel vacuum flask, which houses 3 food tubs – large, medium and small.
With a fork and spoon in their own mini pouch, and a carry case with shoulder strap, it'll keep your three-course meal hot for up to 8 hours. A welcome change from soup, we're sure!
Tubs are dishwasher safe.
Flask 13cm Dia. x 21.5cm H. (5" x 8½"). 1.5 litre.

I bought this item to take to the office as I was tired of buying in food each day. I can only say I am absolutely delighted with it. I took a salad, fruit and sauces the first day, then soup and fruit another day and have no problems with it whatsoever - it does not leak, it keeps the food piping hot as I warmed the items first as advised by the manufacturers. Cannot fault it very pleased indeed. Thank you Lakeland for once again finding a superb item.
I bought two of these, despite the bad reviews below, for my fiance and I to use to take hot food to work because I couldn't find anything similar on sale in the UK. I have been pretty pleased with the purchase. It does keep food hot for over 5 hours, I microwave the pots and their contents in the morning and food is still hot for lunch. We have been using mainly for stews and rice. They do leak a little inside the flask if you don't keep them totally upright when carrying to work, which makes the pots inside wet and therefore they can be slippy and difficult to open, but nothing a bit of kitchen roll can't solve. Overall I would recommend.
I agree with the comments about leaking and lack of warmth. It is great for salads and cold things like yogurts, but don't bother if you are planning to put hot things in there like soup or stew because it wont keep it warm, and will leak.
We're sorry that on this occasion the product wasn't as expected. We'll be in touch shortly. The following information may help to keep food hot:-Fill flask with boiling hot water prior to using and can also warm up three food pots as well doing this. Food must be boiling hot when placed in pots and placed in flask...
I bought this for my husband who works shifts and was getting rather bored with sandwiches. He used it for the first time this weekend and the food was only warm after being in the containers for 5 hours, considerably less than the 8 hour claim on the website. I was also surprised that the flask came with no instruction leaflet at all, no care instructions, nothing.It is a shame, as the idea of the product is excellent with the separate containers, but did not live up to expectations. First time I have been disappointed with a Lakeland product
Thank you very much for your review. If you fill the flask with boiling hot water prior to using, this should help keep the food hot. You can also warm up the three food pots as well doing this. Food must be boiling hot when placed in pots and placed in flask. Tubs are dishwasher safe.
