Quick Overview: A Le Creuset double-wall vacuum-insulated food flask in stainless steel, with a 0.5L capacity for hot or cold meals.

Q&A Specs Care&Use Guarantees FAQ Brand Info

The Le Creuset On The Go Food Flask is built to keep hot food hot and cold food cold, using double-wall vacuum insulation with a copper layer to hold temperature over an extended period. Made from food-grade SS304 stainless steel, its round shape is designed to be eaten from directly, which makes it a practical option for soups, pasta, or rice when you're away from a kitchen. The double threaded opening keeps the lid sealed tightly to prevent spills, and the silicone base stops the flask from sliding around on a table. At 0.5 litres, it holds enough for a single meal without being bulky to carry.

Food-grade SS304 stainless steel: Made from SS304 stainless steel, a durable food-safe material that is reusable and designed to resist scratching with proper care.
Double-wall vacuum insulation with copper layer: The vacuum-insulated construction includes a copper wall layer, which helps maintain the temperature of hot or cold food for longer.
Condensation-free exterior: The double-wall design prevents moisture from forming on the outside of the flask, so it stays dry to handle even when the contents are very hot or cold.
Double threaded opening: The lid screws on with a double thread mechanism that prevents spills and leaks, even when the flask is carried in a bag.
Slip-resistant silicone base: A silicone base provides stability on surfaces and helps prevent the flask from sliding when placed on a desk or table.

What Customers Ask About This Product

Is this food flask dishwasher safe?

No, this flask is hand-wash only. Use mild detergents, remove the silicone seal before washing, and rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Do not use abrasive sponges or strong chemicals, and do not place it in the dishwasher.

Can I use this flask in the microwave or freezer?

No, this flask should not be placed in the microwave, freezer, or on or near heat sources. It is safe for use in the refrigerator.

How long does the flask keep food warm?

The manufacturer does not state a specific number of hours for heat retention. The double-wall vacuum insulation with a copper layer is designed to hold temperature for an extended period. Rinsing the flask with hot water before filling will help it perform at its best.

How much food does this flask hold?

The capacity is 0.5 litres, which is enough for a single serving of soup, pasta, rice, or similar. Do not fill beyond the capacity mark on the interior of the flask.

In our experience...

The copper layer inside the insulation is there for a specific reason. Copper reflects radiant heat back inward more effectively than stainless steel alone. Adding it as a layer within the vacuum wall improves temperature retention beyond what a standard double-wall flask would achieve.

A food flask works differently from a drinks flask. A food flask needs a wider opening than a drinks bottle so you can eat directly from it with a spoon. This flask's round shape and wide mouth are designed specifically for that, rather than being a drinks flask repurposed for food.

Pre-rinsing with hot water is a small step that makes a genuine difference. If you pour hot food into a cold flask, the stainless steel absorbs some of that heat immediately. Rinsing with hot water first brings the walls up to temperature so your food stays hotter for longer.

Overfilling reduces performance and creates a mess. Filling past the capacity mark means the lid compresses the food when sealed, which can force liquid into the thread and cause leaks. Keeping below the line also leaves a small air gap that helps the lid seal cleanly.

Double threading is not the same as a single screw lid. A double threaded lid engages faster (half a turn rather than a full turn) and creates a tighter seal. It's a design detail borrowed from industrial containers where leak prevention is critical.

Care & Use Instructions

Cleaning: Hand-wash only, using mild detergents. Remove the silicone seal before washing and rinse thoroughly after cleaning. Do not use abrasive sponges or strong chemicals. Do not place this product in the dishwasher.

Filling: Do not overfill. Contents should remain below the capacity mark on the interior. If the flask contains hot liquid, always open, pour, and handle with care to reduce the risk of burns or injuries, and keep it out of reach of children.

Use and storage: Safe for refrigerators. Do not place this product in the microwave, freezer, or on or near heat sources. To aid temperature retention, rinse the product with hot or cold water before refilling. Avoid carrying in the same bag with loose sharp or hard objects, as these can cause scratches over time. Carry in protected compartments or wrap in a bag for a longer-lasting appearance.
