Proper and healthy nutrition is easy to organize on the road, on vacation, at work. Thermos for food with containers will help with this. Modern models are versatile, have many functions, and do not require special maintenance.

Characteristic

Thermoses for food with containers are made with a wide mouth especially for food. This makes it more convenient to place different dishes rather than drinks. Such thermoses are usually used for soup, but there is room for second courses that remain hot for a long time. The food thermos holds the temperature for a long time with a double-walled flask. There can be a vacuum between them to create thermal insulation. In some designs, an inert gas is used. For a longer temperature retention, a heater is used between the flask and the body.

Thermoses are divided into several types by material.

  1. Plastic... Only the body is made of plastic. This is a cheap option, practical, and washes well. Disadvantages - poor heat resistance, plastic absorbs odors.
  2. Steel... In such designs, the bulb and body are made of steel. It is durable and does not absorb odors. The product turns out to be compact, the set degrees are well kept. Disadvantages - the weight of the product, low-quality steel conveys a metallic smell.
  3. Glass... Glass flasks are placed in metal or plastic cases. Glass retains temperature well, does not retain odors, it is easy to clean. The main disadvantage is that it beats easily.

Most often on sale there are thermoses for food made of steel. They are the most practical and reliable.

An important factor for thermos is the duration of maintaining the specified degrees inside the flask. For products with a wide neck, the temperature drops faster.The maximum time is 24 hours, the minimum is 2 hours. The average time for first courses is from 4 hours. Much depends on the model and manufacturer.

In the characterization, the useful volume is important. On this basis, all products are divided into three categories.

  1. Large volume - from 2 liters to 3 liters. Such thermoses are designed for a large number of guests, friends for an impressive amount of food of a certain temperature.
  2. Volume - from 1 to 2 liters. Such designs are designed for 2 people when a large volume is not required.
  3. From 250 ml to 1 liter. Vacuum flasks are small, suitable for everyday use.

Three-section models with several dishes for individual dishes are also made. As a rule, these are stainless steel products of large volume for enhanced heat resistance.

The cost of goods depends on the size, brand, quality of the material, the use of modern manufacturing technologies.

  2. Neck width. The wider it is, the more convenient it is to fill the container.
  3. Cork tightness... The tighter it closes the thermos, the longer the heat will remain.
  4. The material for the manufacture of the flask itself... If it is made of plastic, then the temperature preservation period is short. This is the cheapest model. Glass keeps warm the longest. This material is the most environmentally friendly, but fragile. The most durable material is metal, but in comparison with glass, it does not hold the temperature for so long.
