## Description

Darwin Thermocafe Food Flask: Darwin Thermocafe Food Flask: desertcart.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

Review: I never knew I could love a cup so much. - I love this thing. I recently bought another as my old one has literally been round the entire world with me when I used to work abroad in mountain enviroments. It's quality and well made, easy to clean, doesn't leak (providing you don't over fill it) and looks smart. It has taken it's fair share of knocks and even with several dents and dings it still keeps liquid hot for longer than my non-branded flasks I bought to replace the original. I would always come back to this though and finally decided just to buy another. I drink all my hot drinks out of these, it's nice to have nearly a pint of tea that stays hot for a good 45 minutes even with the lid off. Nothing quite like entirely forgetting about it and when you remember, it's still easily hot enough to drink. With the lid on, it stays hot all day too! It's big enough for noodles and other hot foods like soups and even small pasta meals, but I use it primarily for drinks. I once left it on a mountain when I was at the bottom of the mountain and in the 2 days I was without it, I've never missed a cup more in my life. No more drinking out of regular peasant ceramic/pocelain mug/cups!!!
Review: Kept soup hot. - These are fabulous and kept our soup hot. I expected warm over 4 hours. No the soup was still hot. Highly recommend

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Dishwasher safe?**
A: I would use hot water to clean it but wouldn't recommend dishwasher for any flask personally, irrespective of manufacturers claims

**Q: How many sausages do you reckon could fit in this?**
A: About 5 sausages

**Q: My daughter struggled to open another brands flask, as did I, after hot food was put in it for school lunch. She’s 13. Is this easy enough to open?**
A: I have owned the same flask for 5 years and still struggle to open it if I put hot food for my lunch. Most of time  I have to pull boiling water between the lid and the body, then use a towel to separate them. If the food you put inside is not hot, then it is easy to open.

**Q: is the spoon plastic or stainless steel？**
A: Its a plastic spoon, not a great spoon to be honest.
