Air Tight Beaker

Hi peeps

Can anyone recommend an air tight beaker for carrying cold liquids in, i.e Orange juice.

I've recently purchased 2 beakers in the last 3 days, one from Morrisons and one from Denelm Mills, however, both leak when on there side.

I used to use a plastic beaker which I had for many years, however, I'm sure the container was having some effect on the liquid inside as it never tasted the same after a few hours, even though it was in a cool bag with ice blocks.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    I just use an empty water bottle to be honest.

    If it's a beaker you particularly want then I find the lock and lock range really good, although i've never tried the beakers. I have transported soups etc to work in the boxes.

    John Lewis also have them, they may seem expensive at first but they are 110% worth the money as they don't warp or shrink even if you dishwash them regularly. They also don't smell like some plastic containers can with repeated use.

    I bought mine from John Lewis, and although they are not cheap they are great! I actually bought a huge set with vouchers from our wedding list and they are probably the most useful wedding present we have!

    I love 'lock & lock' - How sad is that!! The beakers are great - never leak. I've got lots of pots in lots of sizes. Don't buy the other cheaper makes - false economy they just aren't as good.:D

  • I got a super beaker thing in Matalan sale today for £2. It holds about 800ml and has a sports bottle top but is leak free, plus it has a core thingie that you freeze and put in the middle to keep the drink chilled. They had pink and blue ones and DD2 loves it!
