Features of heated thermoses

Considering the features of heated thermos flasks, one cannot fail to note their common features - thermo mugs and thermo pots, powered from the mains or from a car cigarette lighter. They are gadgets designed and manufactured for the convenience of the owner.

More than a century has passed since the industrial production of thermos was established, and mankind has already managed to appreciate the bonuses they bring. There is not a single device that would make life so easy for a person in field conditions, on trips, in places where there is no electricity and no other opportunity to warm up a drink or liquid food.

Therefore, the developers focused their efforts on more than lightening weight or increasing the ability to retain heat. As a result of their activities, heated thermoses have finally appeared: for motorists - coffee lovers, for baby food, for the second and first course, roomy, for those who get up early in the morning and do not want to fiddle with a kettle and preparing a morning hot tonic drink.

In the modern variety of proposals from manufacturers, a separate classification of thermoses with a heating element has already emerged. She distinguishes devices by:

• purpose of use - for heating food or drinks;
• operational characteristics - the speed of heating, the ability to maintain the obtained result, close without a cooling air gap;
• sizes - from a mug or glass to several liters;
• configuration and stability;
• additional devices, informational or facilitating the use for their intended purpose;
• the type of heater - from the accumulator, battery, power supply or from the car cigarette lighter;
• ergonomics - the ability to hold with one hand, open the non-spill lid, with a sturdy handle or arrow indicating the direction of safe filling.

Heated thermoses can be of several varieties.

• Thermo jug Is a large device that is often used in catering establishments. In addition to the function of permanently maintaining the required temperature, it has a carrying handle and a spout for pouring a drink.

• Portable thermos - this is a thermo mug with variable methods of heating the tonic liquid, powered by USB or a car cigarette lighter, but it is also possible that it is powered from the mains if the contents are not designed for one person. Although in this case a useful device no longer resembles a mug and it is impossible to drink from it, because there is no special convenient hole in the lid for consuming the contents alone.

• The third type is intended for heating food taken to work or on a long trip. This is a container, which is commonly called a vessel container, even if it does not contain several separate containers, and it is intended for baby food or a hot dish. The main difference from other types is the method of obtaining energy for heating. There is a food container that works from different sources. But you can get the contents or put it in a container not only by opening the pump cover. There are also options for which the content is poured from the spout when you press a special button.

There is a significant difference between thermos for lunch, with a wide throat and a volume of one serving, which can be eaten in one sitting, and thermos for coffeewhich can be placed in a car cup holder, held with one hand and drunk comfortably through a specially designed opening. Thermo mug for tea may be less whimsical, but it is also compact and designed for an invigorating drink on the go.

Battery Powered Water Bottle useful for people working in harsh climatic conditions, or those who are involved in winter sports. Food container with heating function It is useful for those who work in places without electricity, although you can find such a device for a car, if a person is forced to make long trips by the nature of his activity, does not have the time or desire (and sometimes the means) to visit catering establishments.

A good thermos is not cheap, but there are completely budget models - for example, made of polymer material and a glass flask or stainless steel with double walls and a sealed lid. Each of them has its own advantages - lightness and safety from electric current, strength and reliability. Experts are sure that reliability should come first, since this is an electrical appliance that heats a liquid. However, manufacturers can provide reliability with rubber parts, insulating seals, so the choice of priorities still remains with the user.

It is difficult to choose the best heated thermos from the offered assortment, so it makes no sense to revise the numerous top-lists combined according to different principles. You can view a small rating of gadgets that have only one unifying principle - each of them is most in demand among buyers in its category.

Inexpensive universal model made of stainless steel with a silicone insert, non-spilling thanks to a special device, with a drinker in the lid. The leader in the rating of universal devices for travel in a car.

Thermopot with a capacity of 7 liters, with an electronic pump, made of stainless steel, there are variable temperature regimes. The leader in demand for catering enterprises.

Excellent car thermos that is charged from the cigarette lighter, with a heat-resistant glass body, safe to use, with a holder included and a thermostat.

Some of the types mentioned in the ratings of sales and consumer demand are useful for several needs., but the positions of leaders in the ratings of consumer demand are more often occupied by purposeful devices, sharpened for specific needs.

The choice of a product according to the given characteristics is carried out according to the individual needs of the buyer: for someone it is preferable to use batteries, someone wants a combined one, with two power options, in home use it is preferable to use a simple power supply.

When planning the purchase of a useful device, you need to decide on priorities in advance. If you need a car gadget, you should choose self-powered or with the ability to charge from an available power source. For trips, it makes no sense to use a thermos with a capacity of 5 liters, thermal jugs from 10 liters will come in handy at catering establishments. But the 1-liter can be used for family trips or out-of-town picnics.

An electrically heated device does not necessarily imply the need for a standard network with a voltage of 220 V. In online stores, you can purchase a battery-powered device at a completely affordable price, separately buy a heating stand, a budget device for 24 or 12 volts, or an interesting electrical option (for example, mug "Hero of the Office", which connects to a PC, laptop and car connector).

Depending on the intended application, the volume of the loaded liquid or food is selected. Thermo mug is a separate category in which the volume is optimal for one consumer, so you can easily find options from 250 to 350 ml, but it is more difficult to find a half-liter mug, but it is also possible.
