food flasks?

I'd say a thermos, they keep hot for 24 hrs...well the one we have does?

I get mine from TKMaxx, usually have some in stock at discounted prices.

Most of them seem to have mixed reviews, but this is the one I got and am very happy with it, as long as it is pre-warmed with some boiling water it keeps food hot for as long as I want it!

Get a thermos and make sure you warm it with boiling water before putting the soup in. You could try making the soup extra thick and seasoned so he can add a little boiling water (if there's a kettle!) to make it hotter before eating.

Argos have a big range, this has got good reviews.

I got one from Aldi a couple of weeks ago for £4.99.
Use it every day for soup. Keeps it warm for about 6 hours but you do have to heat it quite a lot to keep it hot for lunchtime!

Has anyone tried the small stainless steel food flasks currently on sale in Home Bargains? They are only 5.99 and I've considered getting one each for my 4 DD since they are vegan they have to take food most places. Most food flasks are very bulky but these might be just the right size - don't want to buy them if they are rubbish though.

It's not all that good mate.I bought one for the same reasons as the OP & have used it about a dozen times,now as soon as I put hot stuff in it (after pre-warming as it said in instructions) the flask outside is as hot as the food,which then is cold in a matter of a couple hours.

we bought one today for £10 and its rubbish

Could I ask which one it is? I bought one from Sainsbury's the other day for that price and have only used it once so far (for liquid, i.e. hot choc on Bonfire night, and that was within a couple of hours) so am intererested to know if it's the same one - hope not!

I have this. Its fab. Its not cheap but is really great for soup and does definitely keep food warm until lunchtime (and beyond). I use this whenever I go out and take soup or a pasta/rice dish in it.
