Review on Stanley Heritage Vacuum Insulated Food by Melody Watson

Hello... I have been a fan of Stanley Thermos for many years and my family has been very fortunate with their products. From the glass-lined Thermos coffee carafe in our kitchen (which still looks and works great) to my green hammer-sized 1.5 liter "bottle", these thermoses all work very well. Like the newest addition to my/our collection, the food can. Here's how... With a 24 ounce capacity, I find the food jar holds the perfect amount for a hot lunch. A jar of food is slightly wider than a thermos, and the diameter of their bottoms seems to be the same. The food jar, while not flimsy, easily fits in my backpack and, when still in use, in a briefcase. It can be easily preheated with hot tap water and then keeps the temperature for hours. And more importantly, I've never had a leak from this food jar. There were times it lay on its side when full and it stayed leak-free (and didn't make a mess). Simply put, its performance is impressive. Bottom Line: This Stanley food container has the same high reliability and consistent performance as any thermos I've owned. It is well made and built to last. Given the number of years my other thermoses have been in use, I expect this food container will be used in my household for many years to come.
