Opening the lid lets heat escape, so pour what you need and close it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVacuum flask or plastic flask?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vacuum-insulated stainless steel flask usually keeps drinks hot much longer and is sturdier. A plastic flask is lighter and fine for a short trip. For long days outside, most people choose stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I put soup in a flask?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but a food flask with a wide neck is easier to fill, eat from and clean. Thick soup is hard to pour from a narrow drinking flask and harder still to clean out afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan a flask go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the label. Many vacuum flasks should be washed by hand, because a dishwasher can damage the outside or the seal. Lids and seals often come apart, so you can clean every part properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow big a flask do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink in cups. One person on a dog walk often manages with a travel mug or small flask, two people on the sideline with a medium flask, and a family at the campsite with a large one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/glode.nl\/en\/collections\/flask-for-hot-drinks.oembed","provider":"Gløde ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
