Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an insulated food container keep food hot?

It depends which format you choose, and the range is deliberately different. A deep insulated food jar holds heat longest, up to 15 hours. A wide bowl holds temperature for a shorter window because there is more surface area. A box protects and organises, but it only slows the drift instead of holding a temperature. Pick the format by how long the gap is between filling it and eating.

Stanley 1913 Insulated Food Containers

A meal eaten away from a kitchen used to mean a microwave queue or a sandwich. Vacuum insulation solves it properly, and Stanley 1913 has been solving it since 1913.

The insulated food container range covers everything from a single hot dish to a full packed lunch, in stainless steel built to be used every day for years.

How an Insulated Food Container Works

Two walls of stainless steel with the air drawn out from between them. Heat has nothing to travel through, so it stays where you put it, and that works in both directions. The same container that keeps a meal hot through a morning keeps a salad cold through an afternoon.

That is the difference between a genuine insulated food container and a plastic tub with a lid. One maintains a temperature. The other simply holds food and hopes.

Choose by What You Are Carrying

A single hot meal.

Soup, stew, porridge or curry wants a deep container with a wide mouth, and that is an insulated food jar. These hold food hot for up to 15 hours, which is the longest performance in the range.

Salads and leftovers

Anything eaten with a fork wants something wide and shallow with a proper seal, which is a food bowl.

A full packed lunch

Several items that need protecting and organising rather than holding at one temperature, which is a lunch box.

The dog

Food and water on the move for pets is covered by pet bowls.

Hot or Cold, Same Container

Insulation slows heat moving in either direction, so nothing here is single-season. A container bought for winter soup takes overnight oats, fruit and yoghurt through the summer without any change of kit.

Lunch Containers That Actually Work

Most lunch containers fail for one of three reasons. They leak, they warp in the dishwasher, or they never held a temperature in the first place. Stainless steel with a sealed lid addresses all three, and it does not absorb the smell of what you carried last week.

Built for Life, Built to Last

18/8 stainless steel, BPA free and dishwasher safe. One insulated food container does the work of a drawer full of plastic tubs, and unlike them it will not cloud, split at the seam or lose its lid to the back of a cupboard. This is what Built For Life means applied to lunch.

Complete Your Collection

For drinks rather than food, our flasks use the same insulation in a narrower body, and water bottles cover everyday hydration. Ice packs are sold separately, and bags covers what to carry it all in.
