Crafted in a high-standard Zojirushi factory in Thailand, it boasts BPA-free, rust-resistant 18/8 stainless steel construction and a polished nonstick interior.

## Description

Zojirushi began in Japan in 1918 as a manufacturer of hand-blown vacuum bottles. They are still known today for their high quality vacuum insulated products. This stainless steel food jar is vacuum insulated so it keeps foods (or beverages) hot or cold for hours. Durable and sanitary 18/8 stainless steel construction will not rust, tarnish or stain, and will not leak harmful chemicals. The interior is polished stainless steel with a nonstick coating and is neutral to taste and smell. Tight -fitted lid has a gasket that seals lid to minimize leaks and maximize heat retention. It has a unique lid designed with a vent that allows users to release the pressure inside to make the lid easier to open when the food jar contains hot foods or beverages. A wide opening of 2 and one half inches makes it easy to fill and clean and allows user to eat directly out of the jar. Great for holding hot meals, soups, oatmeal, cold desserts and much more

Review: Excellent prduct - I refrigerated the jar for an hour, then filled it with ice cream and topped the ice cream with chocolate syrup. Four hours later my husband ate this treat and his complaint was that the chocolate syrup was frozen! Excellent temperature-preserving food jar, sturdy and good quality. Perhaps a note on the Japanese attitude toward Americans; all the warning labels on the jar were in Japanese characters except one; it was in English only and warned users to not pre-heat the jar (stainless steel) in a microwave oven.
Review: Perfect food jar - You can never go wrong with a Zojirushi product and their food jar is no different! Keeps food piping hot (I do put warm water in it first to pre-heat) for hours and hours and doesn't leak.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many ounces does this hold?**
A: It doesn't say on it, so I measured it.  It holds 16 oz.

**Q: is it 500ml or 550ml?**
A: According to Zojirushi's website, it's 0.5L (500 mL) http://www.zojirushi.com/products/sweae

**Q: Can you remove parts of the lid so that you can clean the thread?**
A: Yes

**Q: So what's the deal with this "lid set?" I can't figure out what function it accomplishes...**
A: Its a check valve that allows air into the container when the contents cool. It apparently solves a problem I never had with a  vacuum bottle, that leaving it to cool would make it difficult to remove the screw-top lid. Despite the overkill in complexity, it's still a great container, and keeps soup and stews hot for hours. I'm really happy with the purchase. I bought the 500 ml model, but in retrospect, for taking soup to work, the 375 ml would have been the better choice.

These containers really keep the food warm. Made lunch for the kiddos and packed them at 6AM. By their lunch hour the food is still hot, six hours later.
