There are many reasons why it makes sense to take your food on-the-go. There’s the saving money angle, with food prepared at home often less expensive than take-out or restaurants. There’s the eco-friendly aspect of using reusable containers. There’s also the bonus of having a hot or cold meal at your fingertips when you don’t have much time to eat or drink. As for the biggest reason people often decide against using a thermos? They leak. And if you’ve ever been (literally) burned by a leaking thermos, it’s not a memory you’ll soon forget.
Thankfully, there are lots of great leak-proof thermos options that are not only practical, they’re actually pretty cool looking too. We never thought of a thermos as sleek, but they do exist.
Here are four leak-proof thermoses that will help you keep your food warm or cold (your choice!) while on-the-go.
1. Keledz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Food Jar
The Keledz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Food Jar comes with everything you need for a hot meal on-the-go. Aside from the actual meal. Perfect for soups, oatmeal or other liquids, the thermos will keep its contents either hot for 6-12 hours or cold for 12-24 hours. The 15.2 oz thermos comes with a folding spoon and cup, so all you have to do is add something delicious.

2. Blue Canyon Thermos Food Jar + Lunch Bag
Using a thermos doesn’t mean you have to give up style. The Blue Canyon Thermos Food Jar + Lunch Bag is about a sleek as a thermos and lunch bag combo can get, which is much sleeker than we first thought. The thermos is vacuum insulated with the added touch of copper lining, which helps keep hot and cold food and beverages at their desired temperature for even longer. Like the thermos, the lunch box is also double wall insulated, so neither heat nor condensation will transfer to the outside. Both containers are 100 per cent leak proof, which is the exact percentage we want when holding our lunch on our laps while in transit.

3. Santeco Superlight Vacuum Insulated Food Jar
The Santeco Superlight Vacuum Insulated Food Jar is a BPA-free thermos that has thought of everything. A scratch-resistant outside and vacuum insulated inside will keep the thermos looking new and sweat-free. Made with ultralight technology that creates a thermos that is on average 20 per cent lighter than competitors, the Santeco thermos also comes with a folding spoon that sits in the top cap for easy storage and access.

4. Fatmingo Vacuum Insulated Food Jar
The Fatmingo Vacuum Insulated Food Jar is great for anyone looking for a larger than average thermos. Boasting a capacity of 1L, the leak-proof jar can keep food warm between 6-12 hours. Its large 3.35 inch opening makes it easy to clean and customers love the top handle and the thermos’ durability.
