If you’re shopping for an adult thermos, the Stainless King is our go-to, but if you’re looking for kids, the Foogo may be a better choice. For this reason, we were surprised to find that the Stainless King provided many more hours of warmth. Thermos Foogo Stainless Steel Food Jar: Like the Stainless King, the Foogo Food Jar uses double-walled, vacuum-sealed technology to keep its contents at the correct temperature. It’s also $10 cheaper than its larger sibling, so if your kid misplaces it on the bus, it won’t hurt your wallet quite as much. The small, 10-ounce thermos is ideal for kids with a grippy lid, themed Disney designs, and smaller build that’s a better fit for small hands.

While washing the container by hand may be annoying for some, we actually don't think it'll be a big deal for office workers who’re already used to rinsing their dishes in a communal sink. It’s easy to fit a sponge or cleaning wand inside and when it comes to the lid and gasket, you just need to make sure you take the pieces apart. Luckily, since the thermos has such a wide mouth, cleaning it by hand isn’t so bad. This is because the thermos is comprised of multiple pieces (a lid, spoon, gasket, and jar) which need to be separated and because hot water and harsh detergents can damage the container’s exterior. While Thermos’ product listing says it’s safe to wash the Stainless King on the top rack of a dishwasher, the company does say handwashing is preferred.

The Stainless King Food Jar is exceptionally durable. While they’re made mostly for children, they are much easier to twist off-especially if you have wet hands. We’ve tried a few other Thermos-branded containers which are outfitted with ergonomic rubber-gripped lids and we much prefer those. While it’s sleek and attractive, it’s also prone to smudges and fingerprints. The one design element we would change is the stainless steel lid. Plus, the container's 3.7 x 3.7 x 5.5-inch build isn’t too cumbersome if you’re throwing it in a purse or backpack. ![]() The jar’s 16-ounce capacity is ideal for lunch-sized servings of whatever it is you like to eat, be it piping-hot spaghetti and meatballs or a refreshing gazpacho. We love these extra touches as they’re not only easier to use than standard single-use plastic spoons and bowls, but they’re also significantly more eco-friendly. ![]() The 16-ounce heavy-duty container is more than just an insulated jar-it also comes with a fold-out stainless steel spoon and its lid doubles as a bowl for added functionality.
