What Flask?

Any recommendations for a flask to keep food warm (something like soup, meatballs, curry) and also one to keep tea warm, it has to be unbreakable

Or are those self warming meals any good or any suggestions to what you take out to eat?

Thanks in advance

Thought you got a jet boil, any SS flask would be ok they keep water hot for about 18 h
I drilled a hole in the outer skin of a flask once and filled it with expandable foam adds a bit more insulation.

Hot cans are great, but take up space, the boxed ones aren't too bad and take up a lot less space. I use a flask with three internal bowls, great when full but not the best at keeping really hot for long periods.

A basic wide mouth flask does that well enough.

Tried a hot can once. Terrible - smelt (and tasted) like cat food. I find a flask of the hip variety does the trick on a cold day
