(2 pack) Thermos Vaccum Insulated Stainless Steel Food Jar with Spoon, 16oz, Glacier Blue, Ideal Use for Workday Meals and Travel, Made for Portable Food Storage, Dishwasher Safe, For Hot and Cold Food

The thermos was bought to provide me an additional method of eating out with my family. I'm not able to eat certain foods so I try can bring soups that doesn't have solid pieces of food. Most restaurants do not have broth, or purée soups on their menu; therefore, I'm able to bring my soups (via the thermos) to any restaurant.

This temperature preserving food container is incredibly useful when you're on the go and you want to maintain the temperature of your food, whether that's hot or cold. Thermos makes several kinds and I use them for different purposes. The really durable one I use for hikes and long drives and the lighter one is for school or work lunches. In the summer I like to put a salad (greens or fruit) and in the winter a warm stew or crockpot meal. They are easy to tuck in a backpack and you don't have to worry about where you will find a utensil. The ones I bought recently with a the pretty design are lighter in weight and have a variety of colors. I get a bit of ease from knowing that there no plastics leaking into my food and I reduce waste by us g something durable that can literally be used hundreds of times.
