About this food jar
Looking at both 470mL options? The FUNtainer has a more child-friendly design, keeps food hot up to 7 hours and cold up to 9 hours. The Stainless King has a more adult style with stronger temperature retention (hot 9hrs / cold 14hrs). Both include a full-size spoon and are 470mL.
The Thermos FUNtainer 470mL Food Jar is a practical insulated kids food jar designed for school lunches, kindy, travel and days out. Available in a range of colours to suit different kids, it features Thermos™ vacuum insulation technology that keeps food hot for up to 7 hours or cold for up to 9 hours — a reliable everyday choice for warm meals and cold snacks alike.
The 470mL capacity is ideal for older kids or children who need a bit more food at lunchtime. It is lightweight and compact for school bags, with a wide mouth opening that makes filling, eating from and cleaning straightforward. The durable stainless steel interior and exterior is built for daily use, and stays cool to touch with hot food and sweat-proof with cold food.
A full-size stainless steel serving spoon is included and stores neatly in the lid compartment — one less thing to remember on busy school mornings.
