## Description

For over 100 years consumers have trusted Thermos brand products to keep their foods and beverages hotter, cooler and fresher. Today this tradition continues with an array of products for every purpose. Element 5 by Thermos is designed to go wherever your journey takes you and to enhance the experience of being there. The Thermax vacuum insulation virtually eliminates temperature change by creating an airless vacuum space between two stainless steel walls. The result is an insulation layer that performs better than any other. A superior insulated container you can depend on to keep your food and beverages hotter, colder, fresher, longer.

Review: A great lunch companion - If you like to pack hot soup or stew on a cold day... this is a great product. I recommend buying more than one. The capacity is enough for a hearty stew lunch for one person. But pack a second one for a hot drink. It kept my stew piping hot for six hours sitting there in the cold vehicle while I was out snowmobiling all morning. AND It also keeps drinks ice cold. The ice cold thermal factor actually works better than the hot factor. I put ice cubes in overnight at room temperature and they were hardly melted in the morning. I really like the wide mouth, easy to clean. Although you can also wash in dishwasher rack too, although water leaks into the base just a little because of the hot water jets. (it leaks in where the black bottom is against the stainless steel.) But that isn't a problem... I just pop off the base and let it dry out. Can be snapped back on easy enough. And these units are perfect to take ANYWHERE! A great product by Thermos brand.
Review: My school- aged daughter is super pleased with this - I purchased this for my daughter, as she loves having hot soup for lunch. She loves, loves it. It does perform very well: no leaks, plenty of storage capacity (roughly equal to a typical soup bowl that I have at home), and keeps food very nearly the same temperature as when I filled the jar. In fact, the first time I filled it my daughter complained that the soup was TOO hot. I had over-heated it fearing that it would cool off too much by the time she got a chance to eat it. Now I know to heat food only as hot as I know she likes it, and no more. Some observations: From the picture, I had guessed that the lid could be used as a small cup. This is not so, as the lid is insulated as well. The jar opening, is just a bit narrower than I thought it would be, but not so narrow that it is impractical for a normal length spoon or fork to reach all the way down to the bottom, so this is not a problem. Lastly, it is a bit heavy and bulky, but given the quality, performance, and the large 16 oz. capacity, this is a small concession to make. I would buy this product again, and with no regrets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much capacity?**
A: 16 ounces....2 cups

**Q: is the lid easy to open?**
A: Yes.  It is a screw-top so it does depend on how hard you twisted it shut or how hot the substance you placed inside it was (I.e. Could have resulted in a vacuum situation) but I would say it is easy.  When closing it though you have to be careful in finding the correct twist groove and not force it or it will not close properly and can either spill or not hold contents hot.

**Q: can you fit your hand inside? ( to properly wash )**
A: I have small hands, so I can fit inside to properly clean it. I would use a brush otherwise.

**Q: Does it have a folding spoon in the lid? (another model does.)**
A: It does not have a folding spoon in the lid. And the lid is just that... a well insulated lid but no cup or spoon. I have been using mine daily to bring hot oatmeal to the office.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good thermos
*by S***E on November 19, 2010*

I ordered 2 of these for my kids, one is 16 the other 11. They both love them. We make a lot of homemade soup and they like to take it to school for lunch. They are rugged and work very well. The soup is still very hot at the kids lunch hours, so much so that the 11 yr old has asked that his soup not be heated up to high to start. Even after a full day at school if they bring any home it is still warm. I thought at 1st they were a little pricey but now that we have used them for awhile, i think it was well worth it. The opening is large so you can pour things in with out making a mess. It will hold a whole can of soup as well. I am glad we made the purchase.
