Product Information

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. Food flasks vary in price depending on how big they are and how long they will keep your food warm.

The cylindrical jar has a wide base with a lid that’s coated in a grippy material that makes it much easier to unscrew. 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. For best results, please pre-heat/pre-cool your SHO Food Flask with boiling water/ice cold water for 5-10 minutes.Fill and then close the lid.Empty after 10 minutes. 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 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. To remove this, simply add a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar to the flask and top it up with water. Leave this for a couple of hours or overnight to give it time to work. It has a 400ml capacity, which is perfect for one person - although if you’re particularly hungry you’ll need some extra sides.
