However, before proceeding to the analysis of the characteristics of specific models, we decided to give a few key points that it is advisable to pay attention to when choosing such products. This will allow you to purchase the most optimal model, which will fully meet all the requirements of the user.
Summary of the rating:
What do you pay attention to when buying a thermos?
First you need to decide for what purpose a thermos will be needed. In particular, it makes little sense to purchase a vacuum construction for household needs, which will be quite expensive due to its light weight and low thermal conductivity. For such purposes, a product equipped with a universal cork, a wide hole and a decent volume is best suited. Vacuum products are best suited for long trips, where each additional gram will play an important role.
In addition, you will have to pay attention to the shape of the thermos. The most compact is a model made in the form of a bullet. It fits easily in a bag or backpack. Usually, a case with a strap is supplied with this product for easy carrying. The top cap can be used as a glass. Such products are suitable for drinks, since the liquid will overflow through a special valve - a similar solution will be best to maintain the temperature of the products.
Universal thermoses have a wider opening, so they can be used for liquid food products. They are equipped with a double stopper, which provides better tightness. On sale you can find products equipped with a folding handle. It is worth noting that in the open state, products stored in a thermos will heat up or cool down quite quickly.
Desktop models with pump lid, designed for liquids. They are characterized by decent dimensions. It is not very convenient to carry such a design in a bag or backpack, however, they are ideal for traveling by car or train. Sudkovye thermoses are not too common. They include three containers at once, and their volume is in the range from 0.4 to 0.7 liters. Similar models are quite light, as they are made of special food-grade plastic, which can withstand high temperatures and their significant differences.
Be sure to pay attention to what materials the flask is made of - it can be steel, plastic or glass. The first type is usually made of stainless steel, however, such thermoses weigh quite a lot, besides washing them is very problematic, since food particles will stick to the steel.
A plastic flask is lightweight, easy to wash, but it can absorb odors or dyes. The glass bulb is easy to clean, maintains the temperature no worse than a steel structure, weighs not too much. Unfortunately, it is fragile, therefore, such a thermos should be handled as carefully as possible and not to fall.
Before purchasing, you should take a thermos in your hands and shake. It should not make sounds, otherwise it will indicate that the bulb in it is either poorly fixed, or the product is already broken. Be sure to pay attention to how tightly the lid fits to the body - this will prevent contact with the external environment and maintain the temperature.
When compiling our rating, we took into account all these facts, and also looked at user reviews. Value for money played an important role in choosing models. We hope that after studying our review you can choose the best thermos for food for yourself. So, it's time to analyze the useful characteristics of such products.
