Best Insulated Food Jars of 2025

"This is a great thermos that works as advertised. I followed the advice of others and let boiling water sit in it before adding my hot food. I found that this truly helps keep the food even warmer when I eat it later. My only complaint is the number of parts to clean—without a dishwasher, it becomes a bit of a hassle. Still, I don't regret buying the Thermos brand because it works so well."

"I bought this to take soup on the go due to its brand reputation and size. It arrived in perfect condition, and the soup I put in stayed warm for 6 hours. However, the mouth is too narrow for chicken noodle soup, making it a bit messy to eat directly from it. I give it 4 stars because it didn't meet my needs perfectly, but it definitely keeps food hot and is likely excellent for other meals."

"I purchased the Thermos for my child’s lunch, and like the blue one, it excels at retaining heat, keeping food steaming for 6+ hours. The stainless steel body is durable and leak-proof, which I appreciate. However, the rim is a bit too slim, making it hard for my child to spoon out thicker foods like chili. While the Thermos does its job well, the rim and spoon design could use improvement. If you can overlook these minor issues, it’s fantastic at keeping lunches hot!"

“I took my time choosing this food jar, and I'm thrilled with my decision. It keeps my yogurt and fruit cold all day. I pre-cool it with ice, and even after several openings, the fruit remains refreshingly cold. One day, when I returned home at 6:30 pm, the fruit was still deliciously cold! The top compartment for granola is a great addition. I haven't tested it with hot food yet, but I’m confident it will perform just as well.”
