Description
This stainless steel food flask wraps the periodic table of the elements around its body, so every packed lunch comes with a little chemistry. The heading reads Periodic Table of the Elements in red capitals, over a key to the metals and nonmetals and rows of element tiles in teal, coral, green, yellow and red. Each tile gives the atomic number, symbol and name, all set on a white ground. The lid is brushed stainless steel on top with a cream inner beneath, and the polished steel neck shows when it lifts away. It holds 450ml and stands 13.8cm tall and 9.3cm across, so it sits upright in a lunch bag or on a desk without taking much room.
It suits soup and other hot food as well as drinks. It keeps contents hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24 hours, so a lunch packed in the morning is still warm at midday and a chilled one stays cool through the afternoon. 450ml is a generous single portion: a proper bowl of soup at your desk, a warm lunch on a winter walk or a cold salad on a summer picnic. The bright print gives it plenty of character in a shared office kitchen and makes it easy to spot as yours in a busy staff fridge.
The flask is stainless steel, and the lid combines stainless steel with polypropylene and silicone; it weighs 0.322KG. Wash it by hand in warm soapy water, as it is not dishwasher safe, and never put it in the microwave or freezer. Keep dairy drinks, juices and alcohol out of it, because they can build up pressure and cause the lid to fail. Dry it well and air it with the lid off. We think it makes a cheerful gift tucked in with a favourite soup recipe, or a small treat for yourself to brighten the working week.
