When is cold its good to have some warm food ready to hand and easy to eat to warm you up. Certainly, while I have been trying out this insulated wide mouth flask from Stanley the food has stayed plenty warm enough for a good time; the spec says it should stay so for seven hours.

A normal flask is fine but if you want to take warm food, or perhaps a good fulfilling chunky soup, a narrow mouth drinks flask it not ideal for the job but this wide mouth flask is perfect. At 0.4 litres it takes a normal can of soup or, in my case, a full breakfast pack and it fits into a normal rucksack side pouch or other similar mode of transport; perhaps even a pocket. Of course it will keep things cool as well as hot to perhaps an ideal way of keeping a couple of handfuls of ices cubes for the BBQ drinks?

The only negative I have with this flask is the included spork, which is located and held on the side in its own ‘keeper’ All well and good to have a readily available eating tool , but why a spork and not a spoon? Try eating soup with one and not spilling any, not to mention also getting every last valuable drop out if the flask.

However the Classic Legendary Food Jar + Spork is a very handy item of kit and a spoon is an easy one to sort out. Six colour options, including Hammertone Green, are available.
