The Hydro Flask food jar is wide enough and makes it much easier for kids to get food out on their own. It keeps food warm for a good amount of time, which is great for school lunches. The stainless steel feels sturdy, and cleanup is simple since it’s dishwasher safe.

So far so good. Food still hot after five hours. Boiled water and left in container for about minutes before I put food in it.

Our child uses this as part of the breakfast/lunch school setup. This is our 3. unit of this style and size. It is easy to open, easy to clean. It fits into the lunch box and has enough capacity for a good oatmeal breakfast. The quality is great, because it survives the breakfast and lunch time abuse (lol). It is a good value, not cheap, but worth it.

Perfect size for oatmeal or soup. Easy to wash, keeps contents warm, doesn’t leak. Easy to open and close. I usually get hydro flask as gifts but am more economical when it comes to getting it for myself—I made an exception because I can trust the quality and don’t want soup smeared all over my lunch bag.

This has been a great food jar for packing 5 yr old grandson’s hot lunches for school. The one thing that would make it better is a handle on the lid. It adds height to the jar, but it gives leverage for opening. There is another well-known brand that makes a food jar with a built-in handle, and has the same capacity. We have that one and like it, also, but prefer the wider, shorter shape of this one for items like rice and gravy with a cut meat placed on top, or something similar. If we could marry the built-in handle with this wider, shorter, food jar, from a reputable company that is committed to lead and other heavy metal-free product (as Hydroflask is known for)s, at the same price point, it would be perfect!

I’m really impressed with the Hydro Flask Insulated Food Jar—it’s become a go-to for lunches and on-the-go meals. The insulation is seriously effective: it keeps soups and pasta hot for hours, and it’s just as great for cold options like yogurt, fruit, or chilled salads. I love that I can pack something in the morning and it’s still the right temperature when I’m ready to eat. The jar feels super well-made and durable, with a leak-resistant lid that gives me confidence tossing it into a bag without worrying about spills. The wide mouth is also a huge plus—it’s easy to fill, eat from, and clean, which makes it much more practical than narrower containers. Overall, it’s a high-quality, reliable food jar that does exactly what it promises. If you want something sturdy, stylish, and genuinely insulating, this one is absolutely worth it.

Perfect size for a small warm meal for my daugjter’s lunch. Downside is that It doesn’t keep the food hot. The food is always lukewarm, despite adding boiling water inside thermos prior to adding solids. It would be perfect if it kept the foot hot.
