    Hi 10past6,

    There's an earlier thread with lots of suggestions for hot food flasks so I've added your post to it to keep the replies together.

    asda and wilkos are fab for this type of thing. you can pay less and get a non branded one, but i know a lot of peeps here like the reassurance of buying into the quality of stanley/thermos

    Some schools don't allow hot flasks with soup. Some poor little child may get scalded with it.

    Hi angie,

    I got a great thermos food flask from Asda (around £4) and it's lasted well and keeps stews, soups etc warm for my boys until lunchtime.

    There's an earlier thread with lots of recommendations for food flasks that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep the replies together.

    I made tea in a jug, which I poured into the flask. At first it seemed alright and I was well pleased with the nice warm orange brew, then the second cup seemed to be a bit grey, and as I worked my way down the flask it got greyer. Is this because it's a new flask? It's the first stainless steel type one I have had and I did give it a good clean before using it.

    Any suggestions?
