🏆 Thermos · Stainless King · 470ml
A trusted everyday food jar for school lunches, work meals and leftovers on the go — keeping food at the right temperature from morning to lunchtime.
The Thermos Stainless King 470ml Vacuum Insulated Food Jar is a practical everyday lunch solution for Kiwi families, school kids and busy adults. With Thermos™ vacuum insulation technology, it keeps food hot for up to 9 hours or cold for up to 14 hours — making it perfect for warm school lunches, work lunches, leftovers and snacks on the go.
Made with durable stainless steel inside and out, this food jar is built for daily use. The extra-wide mouth makes it easy to fill, eat from and clean, while the exterior stays cool to the touch with hot food and sweat-proof with cold food. The stainless steel lid doubles as a compact insulated serving bowl, and the included full-size stainless steel spoon fits neatly into the lid compartment.
