FAQs

How long does the Thermos Stainless King Food Flask keep food hot or cold?

It keeps food hot for up to 9 hours and cold for up to 14 hours, thanks to its double wall vacuum insulation.

Is the food flask dishwasher safe?

While durable, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended for all components to ensure the best performance and longevity of the flask and its insulation properties.

What is the capacity of this food flask?

This model has a capacity of 0.47 Litres, which is suitable for individual meal portions.

Can I put carbonated drinks in the flask?

It is generally not recommended to store carbonated beverages in vacuum-insulated containers as pressure build-up can cause the lid to eject forcibly or make it difficult to open.

Is the flask cool to touch when it contains hot food?

Yes, the double wall vacuum insulation ensures the exterior remains cool to the touch even when filled with hot food, and sweat-proof with cold food.

How do I clean the built-in folding spoon?

The folding stainless steel spoon should be washed with warm, soapy water and dried completely before being stored back into its compartment.

Troubleshooting

Food is not staying hot/cold as long as expected.

Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly. Pre-heating or pre-chilling the flask with hot or cold water for 5-10 minutes before adding food significantly improves temperature retention. Also, try to fill the flask as much as possible, as a fuller flask retains temperature better than a partially filled one.

Lid is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the lid threads are clean and free of food debris. If using hot food, a vacuum seal can sometimes form; try gently wiggling the lid or running the top part of the flask under warm water for a few seconds to equalize pressure. For cold foods, condensation might make it sticky, ensure hands are dry for better grip.

Flask appears to be leaking.

Check that the lid is securely tightened and that the silicone seal (if present, often in the lid) is properly seated and free of tears or debris. Avoid overfilling the flask beyond the neck.

Built-in spoon won't fold or unfold smoothly.

Ensure the spoon's hinge mechanism is clean and free of food particles. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. If still stiff, a tiny drop of food-grade oil can sometimes help, but generally, regular cleaning should keep it smooth.

  • For cold foods: Fill the flask with cold water or ice for 5-10 minutes, then empty.
  1. Fill: Add your desired hot or cold food item. Ensure you leave a little space at the top for the lid.
  2. Seal: Tightly screw on the insulated lid to ensure a leak-proof seal and optimal temperature retention.

  • Hot Foods: Soups, stews, pasta, chili, oatmeal, rice dishes, leftovers, baby food.
  • Cold Foods: Yogurt, fruit salads, pasta salads, cottage cheese, cold desserts, dips.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your food flask:

  1. Hand Wash Recommended: While some components might be technically dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended for all parts to preserve the finish and insulation properties. Use a bottle brush for thorough cleaning of the interior.
  2. Rinse Thoroughly: After washing, rinse all components thoroughly to remove soap residue.
  3. Dry Completely: Allow all parts, especially the lid and flask interior, to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odors and mildew.
  4. Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use bleach, chlorine-based cleaners, or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the stainless steel finish and insulation.
  5. Clean Spoon: The built-in folding spoon can be washed with warm, soapy water and dried before being folded back into its compartment.
