Tips to optimize the performance of your isothermal box.
Fill your can with hot water for 5 minutes, then replace the water with your hot food. Close the tin.
The fuller the tin, the better it keeps hot or cold.
This tin has a small volume and will keep hot for less time than a fuller, larger tin. Choose the 0.8L version if you want the most isothermal product.
Features
This simple product is made up of 4 elements (stainless steel bowl, insulated polypropylene lid, silicone seal and handle) and they are easily separable if required.
We have chosen a fairly large opening diameter of 8cm to allow easier washing and filling.
The flexible handle allows easy transport without taking up space once in your bag.
Do not microwave.
Maintenance tips
The product is dishwasher-safe (lid + body). Be careful not to lose the lid gasket. Leave lid open to dry. Seal and handle can be removed for thorough washing and drying.
First-time use
Rinse 3 times with clean water before using for the first time.
Materials and regulations
Our products and materials meet current food contact standards. They do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA), in compliance with current French regulations.
For the bowl, we have chosen 18/8 (304) stainless steel, recognized for its food safety, and for the cap, heat- and shock-resistant polypropylene. The seal and handle are made of silicone, a material that is highly resistant over time.

How does isothermics work?
We use double-wall stainless steel technology with an air gap to block heat exchange by conduction or convection. To block heat exchange by radiation, a thin layer of copper covers the outside of the inner wall.
The cap is insulated with an inner insert of expanded polystyrene.
Good tips...
In addition to keeping your food warm, you can also keep it cool during your hikes. What could be better than a spoonful of ice cream in the middle of your walk to motivate the kids (and the grown-ups!).
You can also use your tin as a yoghurt maker: bring the milk to the boil, cool it down to around 43°C (hot but not burning) then pour the milk into the tin with a spoonful of yoghurt. Close the tin and leave overnight (between 6 and 10 hours).
