A thermos is a familiar thing that has become firmly established in everyday life. It is convenient to take it with you on long trips, as well as use it at home or at work, enjoying drinks at the right temperature throughout the day. The principle of the thermos device is simple, like everything ingenious - a metal or plastic case with a glass or stainless steel flask inside, between which there is a rarefied vacuum cavity. Despite the similar principle of operation, thermoses, however, have different technical specifications and in order for the vessel not to disappoint its owners, it is important to approach its choice responsibly, taking into account all the requirements and wishes.

Before making a purchase, you should answer yourself a few questions regarding its use:

1. What are you going to store in a thermos? The fact is that it is impossible to choose a universal option for storing both drinks and food. If you intend to pour tea or coffee into a thermos, then it is better to stop at a model with a narrow neck. If you want to please yourself with warm soups and other hot dishes, it is best to purchase a special thermos for food - with a wide mouth.
2. Where and under what conditions do you plan to use it? So, for long trips, a thermos of large volume, 2-3 liters, is better suited. To brew herbal teas at home, it is better to proceed from the number of family members and take a smaller thermos, 1-2 liters. If you plan to use the thermos alone, for example, in the office, it is better to choose a compact version, up to 1 liter, or a thermo mug.
3. The choice of material from which the flask is made - glass or stainless steel - also depends on the conditions of use.
4. How long should the temperature be kept? The question of how long the thermos keeps warm should be asked in relation to a specific model. This characteristic depends on several factors: the material of the flask, the design and tightness of the stopper, and sufficient vacuum in the cavity between the body and the flask. By the way, the material of the body itself does not play a role: with the same parameters listed above metal thermos, for example, with glass flask will keep heat as long as plastic.

Thermoses with a stainless steel flask are more practical, durable and keep the temperature of the contents longer. But, nevertheless, they fail to completely oust their competitors from the market - thermoses with a glass flask, despite the fact that they are more fragile and inferior in terms of heat resistance.

The main reason why it is recommended to opt for a thermos with a glass flask is its hygiene. Glass is easy washable and does not absorb odors - after ginger tea, you can safely brew coffee in it without fear of mixing aromas. It is for this reason that thermoses for food are most often made with a glass flask.

Separately, mention should be made of the various designs of thermoses. The most familiar option - with a cork and a screw cap, as a rule, is convenient for small volumes. If you are determined to purchase a large volume thermos, for example, for a large family or use in the office, it is best to give preference to a thermos jug with a glass flask. It is equipped with a convenient pump button, which allows you to pour the contents without unscrewing the cork and without tilting the vessel, which is impressive in volume.

As for the operation of a thermos with a glass flask, there is a little trick - before pouring hot contents into it, you must first fill it with hot water and leave it for a while so that the flask warms up. After that, you can fill it with a drink. This will extend the period of holding the temperature of the liquid by 2-3 hours.

Camping, fishing, hunting, trips to not too civilized places require appropriate equipment. And not the last thing in such cases will be a thermos.

What is a thermos for?

Hot tea in the winter forest, a cup of steaming coffee on a foggy autumn morning - what could be better? A thermos will come in handy at home too. It is best to infuse herbal teas in it.

And a thermos is a universal gift. It can be given to anyone. You can choose both in appearance and at the price exactly what you need.

It's not hard to buy a thermos. Their choice is very large. But it is not always possible to buy a quality product. The main requirement is how long the thermos can keep warm. It is also important how reliable the cork is, whether it will leak (and the ability to retain heat also depends on this). And the price also plays a role.

The purpose of the thermos

All thermoses according to their purpose can be conditionally divided into two types: for drinks and for food. For drinks - tea, coffee - the thermos should have a narrow neck, less heat will escape through the narrow neck. Wide mouth thermoses for food. In such thermoses, heat is kept less.

The volume of the thermos also determines how long it will keep warm. There are some differences for types of thermoses. For drinks: the larger the volume of the flask, the longer the contents will be hot, provided that they are completely filled. For food, it is better to take just such a volume, what amount of food will be placed there. You can not take a large thermos and fill it partially - the food will cool down due to the presence of air. The entire volume of the thermos must be filled with food (and preferably liquid or dense), then the food will be hot longer.

What determines the quality of a thermos

All thermoses are arranged in the same way: a strong outer shell (metal or plastic), inside which a glass or metal flask is placed, the shell and the flask do not touch each other directly, because connected in the neck area with a special heat-insulating gasket. The inner flask is hot, but good thermoses pump out air between it and the outer shell to reduce heat transfer.

Cork (often screwed) is also made of a material that does not conduct heat well.

Which thermos is better: with a metal flask or glass?

Glass flasks have one significant disadvantage, which often outweighs all their advantages - they break easily. Glass washes better, a thermos with a glass flask does not get bad smell, it is these thermoses that keep the heat better.

Modern high-quality metal flasks are no worse than glass ones in terms of temperature retention. They survive a fall (although it's best not to drop the thermos). But they are harder to wash and should not be stored tightly closed - a "musty" smell may appear.

How to choose a thermos when buying

It is impossible to check the thermos when buying. You can focus only on the brand, look at the price, not forgetting that a cheap product is often not of very high quality.

When buying a thermos, you need to carefully inspect. If you choose an inexpensive thermos, pay attention to how tightly the cork or lid fits to the flask, shake it - if something inside knocks, if the flask leaves.

Inspect the stopper for a thermos, it comes with a valve and without it. If the cork is without a valve, then it is necessary to completely unscrew the cork in order to pour something from the thermos. There is a little more heat loss. But the valve can become clogged (by welding, for example). The mechanism for opening it is the simplest, but sometimes these are unnecessary problems, since a drink can leak through a damaged valve.

Check the smell inside. If the smell is sharp and unpleasant, then the thermos is made of low-grade materials, it is doubtful that it will last a long time.

You can only be sure of the quality of the purchase made at home. To do this, pour boiling water into it. If after ten minutes the thermos warms up, then the insulation of the inner flask is bad, it does not hold heat.

Thermoses and thermo mugs are unique dishes designed for use in the complete absence of access to a stove or refrigerator, which keeps food warm or cool for a long time. This makes it ideal for fishermen, hunters, campers and those who work far from food sources and in difficult weather conditions. As a rule, this thermoware is distinguished by compact dimensions and a form convenient for transportation, in connection with which it can always be taken with you. However, it should be remembered that even with such advantages, different models of thermoses keep the temperature for a different amount of time. Therefore, the choice should be approached as responsibly and consciously as possible, paying attention to key characteristics and useful features.

In order to facilitate the selection process, carefully read the thematic rating compiled on the basis of non-standard and painstaking reviews of all the presented series of thermo mugs and thermoses, comparing their capabilities, as well as the number and quality of user reviews.

The best thermoses for hot drinks (tea, coffee)

To maintain the temperature of a large amount of food or liquid, nothing can replace a good and high-quality thermos. As a rule, it is made in the form of a vessel with a dense double lid and a narrow neck compared to the main part. It is the design and more efficient insulation that are the hallmarks of thermoses. Entire series of products are subject to consideration in the rating, since it would simply be inappropriate to mark any one model from the general range.

There are no complaints about them: the swivel lid is sealed, two flasks are made of 18/8 stainless steel and, under the manufacturer's warranty, retain a heat-insulating effect for up to 15 years. The total temperature maintenance time is from 36 to 48 hours, depending on the size of the thermos.

Production is carried out according to an exclusive technology created within the company itself. So, for example, to ensure good tightness in production, proprietary patented ARCTICA STORM technology is used. As for the 106 line, all models are designed exclusively for storing drinks, as evidenced by the characteristic narrowing of the neck. Their walls are made of 18/8 stainless steel.

3 Zojirushi SL-XD20-BA

The best volume of containers
Country: Japan
Average price: 5 950 rubles.
Rating (2017): 4.6

Thermoses for food Zojirushi SL-XD20-BA take an honorable third place in their category. Objectively, the quality of this line of lunch boxes is almost the best among similar thermoses, but the price tag can scare away a potential buyer. Particular attention should be paid to the packaging. Due to the fact that the models are focused mainly on the eastern market, they are supplied with ... plastic Chinese sticks. This is a very interesting solution, but completely useless for the European consumer, and, importantly, it will certainly affect the price. Three closed containers are placed inside the thermos, and it is equipped with a convenient strap for carrying.

• teflon coating of the flask, making it easy to clean;
• good equipment;

Best price
Country Russia
Average price: 1,685 rubles.
Rating (2017): 4.7

The line of thermoses "Arctic" 403 could claim a higher place, however, it has several minor, but annoying flaws. The walls of the harsh lunch box are still made of high-quality food-grade 18/8 stainless steel and in terms of tightness, you can’t dig into it. According to the characteristics of thermal insulation, it is also in full order: a thermos keeps cold and warm for 6 hours, which is a standard result. The problem lies in the containers - they are made of white plastic, which "ages" over time and acquires a yellow tint. In addition, two out of three containers do not have lids at all, so some difficulties may arise when transporting a thermos. The last drawback lies in its bulkiness. Manufacturers decided to make the lunch box more spacious, while sacrificing adequate width indicators. Which, in the end, they did.

Advantages:

• great quality;
• reliable sealing;
• contains three containers of different sizes;
• after removing the containers, you can use it as a regular thermos;
• low cost.

Flaws:

• containers turn yellow over time;
• two food containers do not have lids;
• large and bulky, inconvenient for transportation.

Each of the containers is tightly closed with a lid, which is important when transferring a thermos.

Models are produced in China and in Italy, but this does not affect the price.

Advantages:

• optimal cost;
• containers with tight lids;
• convenient carrying handle;

What thermoses can not be bought?

To buy the best thermos, you need to know what to look for. First, never buy thermoses of an unknown brand. There is a great chance to run into a fake and throw money away for nothing. It is also unknown what materials are used, whether they are safe for the body. Second, after the first use, smell what the food smells like. If there is a sharp foreign smell, then the thermos is made of low-quality materials and can be safely thrown away.
