A Thermos King will last years but it’s not officially dishwasher-safe, and you’re not even meant to submerge it in water (if you do, you kill the manufacturer’s 50-year guarantee).Whether it’s a chunky “food flask”, sleek “vacuum bottle” or something in between, the job of a flask is to keep food and drink hot or cold without leaking, all day long.

The 100% stainless steel construction of today’s flasks means there’s no risk of inner walls shattering when dropped. Easy to carry with adjustable shoulder straps, our cool bags are ideal for a picnic in the park or a day at the beach.
