The Kids Thermoses I Tested

The [Thermos Funtainer 10 oz Food Jar](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Thermos+Funtainer+10+oz+Food+Jar&tag=thetestedhub-20) was the most reliable. Five hours of hot held at over 150 degrees and the wide mouth made it easy for my second grader to scoop with a spoon.

I packed five kids thermoses with hot soup and cold milk every school day for a month to find which ones survive lunchbox abuse and still seal.

Frequently asked

How long should a kids thermos keep food warm?

Aim for at least four hours above 140 degrees so a 7 am pack is still safe by noon. The best models I compared held over five hours easily.

Are kids thermoses dishwasher safe?

Some are. I still hand wash the lids because the silicone seals can degrade in hot dishwashers. The stainless body usually survives the top rack fine.
