I can vouch for this. I was disappointed by HydroFLask. It was my first one and I usually buy Stanley but this one was discounted at REI. I work in the backcountry and need food warm/hot and not cold. Every single time by lunchtime, my food is cold. Won't buy Hydroflask again. Im sticking to Stanley/Thermos
I agree. It’s terrible at keeping things hot. Stanley just came out with a food jar called the adventure to go, which has a big wide opening at the top and is 18 ounces. It keeps things hot for an honest six hours. I just did a review last week.
@@zipastewards1906 ive done that with other containers, not sure about hydroflask. but willing to give it a go. the thing with my stanley is, once i warm the food up, its still pretty warm when i take it out for my lunch time. i didnt need to "prep" the stanley beforehand.
Glad I could help. I really wish it worked better. It would still be a handy thing to use to keep food warm for a few hours if you were making dinner at the campsite, but for long-term warmth, it fails.
I still prefer the hydro flask for making overnight chia pudding where I can eat right out of the container and occasionally take it to the nearby park to eat breakfast there. Whenever I need the food cold for longer I compromise and move the contents to my Stanley which is harder to eat from but better for insulation.
My kind of break down. The only way to truly know is exactly how you did it. Thanks for the testing between the different canisters.
You’re welcome.

quick note, its descent to keep your grapes strawberries somewhat cool, -somewhat.

Can I use that new Stanley to hold tea or coffee because I want to clean it easily? Does it leak? Thanks
Have you tried using hot water before putting thr food in

We have found if you pre heat or pre cold treat the hydro flask, it works better and keeps food cold or hot longer. Agree with the Stanley though.
Hydro flask is just poorly designed with a big price tag. That's about it.
It’s says on the website it stays cold for 4 hours it’s meant for school lunches and areas bring it for quick packs
Thank you. I was just about to buy one..

That makes sense. Things stay cold longer than they stay hot, so using it for cold things should be better.
This thing sucks. I bought one and does not keep food warm.
True. It’s very disappointing. I returned this one.
The more air there is, the harder it is to open later.
Air is more volatile than water and other liquids in general
Good review. Good work keep it p
Thanks
Thank you very informative
What I have been wondering is: Won't food get over cooked if it is left hot for too long?
Maybe, but it works well on soup and chili and rice. I also do steel cut oatmeal in it.

Yes. I was really surprised at how bad it was. I don’t think I’m overstating it.
