Hydro Flask Vs Thermos Insulated Food Jar Test

This video is a test and comparison of the 16 ounce thermos insulated food jar versus the 20 ounce Hydroflask insulated food jar. Both thermos and Hydro Flask are famous brands who specialize in insulated containers. In this video I compare how well the two of them do in competition with each other, and we find out which insulated food jar is the best. Is it thermos, or is Hydroflask the best insulated food jar you can buy? Thermos insulated food jars are cheaper, costing close to half as much as the Hydro Flask, so you would expect the Hydroflask to do better in a competition test. Watch this video to see if there is food jar versus the Hydroflask food jar and see which is the best insulated food jar.

 Here’s where you can buy a 16 ounce thermos insulated food jar like the one in the video.

Was planning on buying the hydro flask containers but defiantly buying the thermos now. Thank you!

Thank you for your experiment! I would have bought a Hydroflask if I had not watched this video.

This is so unfortunate because the only hot food that’s practical to carry in a Thermos are soups, pastas, or other foods that’s all mixed together and you still need to empty it out onto another container to eat it because it’s so tall and narrow. You’d think that by 2023 they’d have figured out different container types. Oh well.

What a great review and thank you for saving me from being irritated with Hydroflask. I love them for drinks, and was going to get one for soup. Your review saved me from paying 50% more for a worse product.

the best review ever..love this comparison test..

Such a shame the Hydro Flask did so poorly, it definitely looks to be much better/easier to actually eat out of.

[Dhuxul]

Great review I own both of these and you are right thermos does better

[RalphCorbett]

Thermos needs the colors of Hydro Flask. Hydro Flask has more colors. Still... Thank you.

Good for a few hours only. Ignoring caps or perhaps thickness of vacuum walls, the larger mouth diameter gives more surface in the neck to heat up the plug/cap as well as outer wall. Sadly the best option is a small mouth for broth and maybe one of these to keep solids close to edible.

[MegInWhispers]

thank you! very helpful. hoping to order mine!

In th eUK herr and I was shocked at the difference in performance in various makes of flasks. Ended up back at Thermos. Stanley seem good also.

Thermos needs to improve their design. Much prefer the Hydroflask wide opening for kids. Is there a wide mouth food jar out there that retains heat better?

[hand-heldblender]

For UPAC and metric people.
Initial temperature:95 Celsius degree
2 h later.
Thermos :78.8 Celsius degree😂
Other: 55 Celsius degree. 😢

I have the taller drink version of that Thermos and it is my all-time favorite. My Teavana keeps drinks hotter slightly longer, but the paint is beginning to chip off the bottom where I slightly dented it.
The debates or comparisons of Yeti tumblers vs. OzarkTrails' nearly identical ones seems silly to me now, because it has no insulated lid, so the lid leaks at the straw area and the upper half looses heat near the lid - just as you have shone. Thermos is the way to go - stainless steel lasts longer, of course...shows less wear and tear.

Does the warm food genwrate steam inside the thermo? Lets say keep steaks inside, will there be watwe in there as well?

When we stay in a hotel (as cheap as pos lol), we take our food flasks and have oats for breakfast. We put in the oats. add boiling water (from the kettle(in UK)), stir and then seal. Go get showered, shaved etc, then open the flasks and they are coked and very hot. Stir. Add syrup/fruit etc then eat. If you like to use milk, then add milk powder(use freeze dried) with the water). Works every time and dirt cheap!

[mikesaldana]

We need a longer test like 4 -6 hrs ??? Thanks

[uhavemooface]

We have the highsierra and it sucks balls. They say it stays hot for 12 hours but its false advertisement. They should work on their jars. I wish that thermoflask made food jars because they do what they are suppose to.

[geekafreak]

I guess a wider neck leads to greater heat loss

[mixeddrinks]

pretty sure yours is broken the hydro flask, it shouldn't be leaking that much heat, I always test the hydroflask when I get it with boiling water, if you can feel the heat on the outside, the seal isn't there I believe.
