S'well S'nack Stainless Steel Food Container, 10 Oz, Azure Forest, Double-Layered Insulated Bowls, BPA-Free

Perfect size for snacks, fruits,No spillage.Keep items cold for fruits.

I drive luxury buses, SUVs and cars as a chauffeur and there isn't usually a lot of time to stop for lunch or dinner. Using this bowl for meals I make at home means I can avoid paying a lot more for takeout from restaurants, which is exactly the reason I bought one. I considered other approaches, like a portable heating pot that would need to be plugged-in, but that wouldn't have been reliable depending on what I'm driving.So does this bowl do what it says? Yes!Last night I had chicken noodle soup that had to cool off a little before I could eat. The soup went into the bowl at boiling temperature and it was still very hot 5 hours later. Another time, I had rice with chicken and veggies... again, it went in hot and was still hot many hours later.Some reviews mention a problem with leaking and the lid being difficult to secure, but it's easy to deal with. I just make sure the lid is level all the way around the bowl and then tighten down. Maybe if you're in a rush or just not being very careful, it could be a problem, and heat and liquid would escape from the bowl. But it's really not that difficult to secure the lid.So yes, I would recommend the bowl to a friend. I'm considering a second one so I can bring hot and cold food (ice cream, or yogurt and granola, salad, etc) together.

Great thermos and larger capacity makes it perfect for middle school lunch. Swell, if this container had a removable divisor that would make it perfect!

I absolutely love this container! I used it for my son to bring food to school. I first tested the container ag hole. I boiled water and let it sit for two minutes, and then poured his hot food in the container, packed it in his lunch bag and let it sit in my counter. This was at around 6:30am I opened it again around 12:30pm and the food was still very warm.My only complaint is that since it’s pretty big it can be hard sometimes to open it.Overall a great buy and I will be buying another for myself

I purchased 2 of these in the hopes that my kids could eat soup out of them at school. Well, they said they like these MUCH better than the thermos style because it is easier to eat from. This is very sturdy and once opened, is like a bowl. You don’t have to pour out of it into another container. One child said it kept his soup at the perfect temperature while the other (who like his food on the hotter side anyway) said it was warm enough to eat but he likes it a little hotter. No surprise there. The mouth of this one is a little wide, so it is harder for small hands to open, but with a little help from the teacher is a better solution to hot food at school. It was packed about 7:15 and eaten at 11am. I did “pre charge” the container with hot water first, so that always helps. I recommend this product.

Surprisingly disappointed. I love the water bottles. The triple insulation really works well to keep liquids hot or cold and I have no hesitation recommending them. However, the food storage containers do not do as advertised in terms of keeping food warm (let alone hot) for as along as they say the product will. I have the 24oz, which is supposed to keep food warm, if not hot, for 7 hours. I pack my food hot at 6:30am and have lunch starting at noon. That's only 5-½ hours but it isn't even lukewarm when I go to eat.On top of that, it is very difficult to unscrew. I have found the only way I can get it open with any modicum of "ease" is to have one of those jar opener gripper pads handy. (Don't try using the cute little recessed handle either; the attached areas are not strong enough to withstand the force needed to unscrew.)Considering the price of this item and comparative quality of their water bottles, I am very disappointed and wish I'd tried using it before the time to return had passed.

I should have known better based on other reviews but I bought it anyway because it’s so hard to find a bowl-like insulated stainless steel container for my lunches. The size and shape are exactly what I’m looking for. However, it takes extra effort to ensure the lid is properly engaged and tightened. When I open it up, I fear I’ll break the handle if I try to use it as leverage but without it, it’s very difficult to open esp if you don’t want to spill the contents. I fill this up around 6:45 am and have lunch five hours later, around 11:45 am. Soup goes in piping hot in the morning but it’s almost lukewarm, by lunchtime. Disappointing. I have another container that’s same capacity, but more like a thermos shape & my food stays piping hot til lunch - the downside is that it’s not bowl-shaped. So. My search for the perfect soup container continues.

It keeps my snacks fresh for hours. I love that it’s leak-proof and easy to clean.
