In need of some lunchbox inspiration or having trouble getting your little ones to finish their school lunch? Well, using a food flask may be what you need to get them excited about their food again!
Hot lunches allow for so much more flexibility and children often prefer a cooked meal as their lunch. When making the family dinners, simply double up the ingredients and set aside the leftovers for the school lunches. All that is left to do in the morning is heat up the food, and pack it into your child's food flask!
What is the Food Flask?
Mummy Cooks Food Flask is a meal container that, thanks to the double-wall vacuum insulation, will keep your food hot or cold for up to six hours. It holds up to 300ml and can be used for foods like hot soups, stews, pasta to cold smoothies and salads - the options are endless.
Each flask in our store comes with a set of stickers that will allow your child to customize their flask, anyway they want!
