In testing, we found that the jar lived up to its promise of keeping our food hot for six hours and cold for up to 7. This food flask from VonShef is an uncomplicated and highly functional food flask. Featuring a double-walled insulation system, which combines layers of stainless-steel with a middle layer of vacuum insulation to keep food warm, or cold, for a good amount of time. The lid is also wide mouthed so as to allow you to fit almost any kind of food in with ease. Best for big meals – SHO’s Ultimate Food Flask is not the biggest flask out there, but it is bigger than most. 2 sizes are available for the Ultimate, both of which are bigger than comparable flasks. The smaller is 600ml, which beats out other similarly sized flasks which are usually around 500ml, and the 800ml compares with others usually around 700ml. So unquestionably, if you’ve got a big appetite (or are carrying food for two) then the Ultimate should be your flask of choice. An honourable mention does go out to Pioneer’s 1000ml food flask, however.

The lid can be a major functional part of any kind of flask. Just like drinks flask which utilise the lid as a miniature cup/mug, so do food flasks have convertible lids. It might be a pertinent consideration, especially if you’re getting a food flask for camping or hiking trips, to have a flask with a lid that doubles up as a bowl. Some also come with foldable spoons, meaning cutlery becomes one less thing that you have to bring.

The wunderJar (literally Wonder Jar or Miracle Jar in English) by German brand 720°DGREE is sold with a mindset of reducing plastic waste and actively supporting charities promoting fresh drinking water. The flask is constructed out of the company’s proprietary ‘KeppDGREE’ technology which uses durable double-walled food-safe stainless-steel to keep food hot for up to 9 hours and cold for up to 16 hours. 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. Inside the grey lid you’ll find a second screw-top lid that houses a foldable spoon. Hiding underneath this is a nifty button that you can press to release the vacuum seal in the container, making it easier to unscrew. For kids, there are smaller capacity ones of around 300ml. These don’t weigh as much, will fit into lunch boxes and, as kids generally eat less, there’s nothing going to waste.

Food flasks vary in price depending on how big they are and how long they will keep your food warm. There’s no inner lid or cutlery with this one, nor does it promise to keep your food warm or cold for a specific amount of time. Because of this, we decided to go with a minimum keep-warm period of 6 hours. The one thing that this jar does have going for it is its extra wide opening, which makes adding food in and washing up afterwards that much easier. You get a foldable spoon with this food flask, which is stored on top of the inner lid. The inner lid also features a secret compartment just below the spoon, which can be used for storing salt and pepper if needed.
Zwilling’s understated food flask is available in just one colour - a white base with a grey lid - and it looks and feels like a food jar for grown-ups. On a budget – The 720°DGREE wunderJar Food Flask makes for surprisingly good value for those not wanting to overspend on a food flask. Even with its environmentally-friendly credentials, which often come with a little extra on the price tag, this particular flask is very reasonably-priced for a flask with a solid amount of volume for single portions and exceptional build quality and style. Please note all solid colour Original 2.0 bottles come with a stainless steel lid as default. If you choose a coloured lid, you'll get both!

Next, think about how long you would need to keep your food warm for. Look for ones that will retain heat for at least six hours. When we tested this flask, it kept the contents piping hot until we were ready to enjoy it and the slimline frame meant it was easy to store in our lunch bags or take on the go. Sandwiched between the inner and outer layers is a void - this vacuum stops the heat from the inner layer reaching the outer layer as heat can only be conducted through particles, whether it’s in the air, through liquids or solids. Some flasks are also designed with the intention of maintaining a low temperature for cold food. While not fully refrigerating them, flasks designed for this purpose will usually keep things cold longer than they keep things hot. But, some flasks are not meant for this, so bear that in mind. 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.The cylindrical jar has a wide base with a lid that’s coated in a grippy material that makes it much easier to unscrew. Whatever it is you need from a flask, our buying guide is here to help you make a bit more sense of what you need in terms of the most essential criteria – after reading this, you should be absolutely sure which food flask is right for you. Capacity The only downside we could find was that the opening was a bit more tapered compared to some of the other options, which meant cleaning up wasn’t as straightforward. You can also get larger ones of over 800ml, which might suit one very hungry person or a lighter lunch for two. 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.
