There are situations when the reception of hot food can not be made fully. These options include an urgent job or a trip where heating can not be carried out. But you need to eat every day, and therefore there is a way to take food with you. To keep it's quality, use a thermos with a wide throat for eating.
What is a food thermos with a wide neck
Thermos called a special metal or glass vessel with walls of several layers, helping to maintain the temperature of the food or drinks there. To keep the temperature of liquids, a narrow device is suitable, but for soup you should make a purchase of a thermos with a wide throat for eating. The second dishes have another option of purchase - with containers.
How to choose a thermos for food
Choosing a thermos with a wide throat for food, decide for what types of food you are buying it. If this is home-made first dishes( soups, broths), then it is better to choose a simple model, and if these are the second dishes( meat, fish or side dishes, salads), then you should purchase a variant with containers. There are small models - by buying a child's thermos for food, you can separate your food from the baby's dish.
The following rules will help you to choose thermoses with a wide throat for food:
- A wide neck promotes rapid cooling of water, but a large volume smoothes out this drawback. Choose a wide-bladed instrument with increased bulb space.
- When buying a device, study the smell - it should not be felt at all, or be barely perceptible. The sharp smell will not erode, but will go into food and cause discomfort.
- The plug and cover must be screwed securely to prevent spilling of the contents. Make sure the device is airtight so that it lasts for a long time.
- Before use, pour a little hot water or tea inside, and after 10 minutes, check the body temperature. If it has heated up - this is not the best device.
- To avoid disappointment with the manufacturers' statements about the safety of the temperature, always fill the flask to the top, because the remaining air can cause rapid cooling.
- It is better for children to choose small volumes - up to 300 ml, so that it would be convenient for them to take with them to travel or take for training.
- The optimal choice for an adult is a volume of 700-1000 ml.

Customer Reviews
Andrew, 27 years
I purchased a thermos "Arctic" with a wide neck for travel. I am satisfied with the large professional volume, the time of preservation of temperature, quality appearance and reliable materials. I've been using it for a long time, but it has not lost its functionality. I will buy more containers to eat fully in the distance from civilization.

My work is far from the food points, so it's not possible to have a full dinner. Warm products are needed by our body for proper existence. I bought a glass thermos for myself, with which I go to work and eat normally. Warm soup, the second, garnish - everything keeps the temperature perfectly. Colleagues, looking at me, also bought for themselves on the device.
