Thermos™ · Kids Food Jar · Purple
A bigger food jar for bigger appetites — keeps warm lunches hot for 7 hours and cold snacks fresh for 9 hours, with a full-size spoon included.
The Thermos FUNtainer 470mL Food Jar is a practical insulated kids food jar designed for school lunches, kindy, travel and days out. With Thermos™ vacuum insulation technology, it keeps food hot for up to 7 hours or cold for up to 9 hours — making it a reliable everyday choice for warm meals and cold snacks alike.
The 470mL capacity is ideal for older kids or children who need a bit more food at lunchtime. It is lightweight and compact for school bags, with a wide mouth opening that makes filling, eating from and cleaning straightforward. The durable stainless steel interior and exterior is built for daily use, and stays cool to touch with hot food and sweat-proof with cold food.
A full-size stainless steel serving spoon is included and stores neatly in the lid compartment — one less thing to remember on busy school mornings.

How long does the Thermos FUNtainer 470mL keep food hot?

It keeps food cold for up to 9 hours — great for yoghurt, berries, fruit salad and cold snacks throughout the school day.
What is the difference between the Thermos FUNtainer 470mL and the Stainless King 470mL?
Both are 470mL stainless steel food jars with a full-size spoon included. The main differences are temperature performance and design. The Stainless King keeps food hot up to 9 hours and cold up to 14 hours, with a more adult-style design. The FUNtainer keeps food hot up to 7 hours and cold up to 9 hours, with a more child-friendly look suited to school lunches and kids.
Does the Thermos FUNtainer 470mL come with a spoon?
Yes. It includes a full-size stainless steel serving spoon that fits neatly into the lid compartment — nothing extra to pack each morning.
Is the Thermos FUNtainer 470mL dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to help maintain insulation performance and extend the life of the food jar.
What warranty does the Thermos FUNtainer 470mL come with?
The Thermos FUNtainer 470mL Food Jar is backed by a 5-year warranty on vacuum insulation.
How do I keep food hotter for longer in the Thermos FUNtainer?
Fill the jar with hot water for a few minutes to preheat, then empty and add very hot food immediately. Fill as much as practical, close the lid tightly and do not open until lunchtime. For cold food, pre-chill with cold water first before filling.
