The Thermos food flask is a quality product - well designed, compact size, with a fold-up spoon fitted into the lid. Small is the perfect size for a good sized portion of soup or stew for one person, or a cupful each for two. It is a flask, bowl and spoon all in one item.

I brought this for work now the weather is turning chillier. Its a fantastic investment. For the sake of being able to make hot soup before work and for it to still be hot 5+hrs later is great. No more cold lunches or waiting for the kettle to boil at work, hot soup ready and waiting. Great that it has its own soup spoon as well.

Used this for the first time today. After 4 1/2 hours decided to eat the soup I had microwaved in the morning. It was just warm enough to eat but definitely not hot. I doubt it would keep any food "hot" for 9 hours! A little disappointing but will retry using it by heating the soup to a much higher level first and see if that makes any difference.

My daughter takes her school lunch in this and loves it-which is a compliment coming from a teenager! It's the perfect size for a tin of soup (with the excellent built in spoon) We've sent in stews, soups and lots of other hot meals- and they are all kept warm until lunchtime. Easy to wash as well; no negative points at all for us and we would recommend it to anyone.

Keeps soup piping hot and holds sufficient for two good portions . Not too heavy or bulky to carry.
