Product Description

For over 100 years consumers have trusted Thermos brand products to keep their foods and beverages hotter, cooler and fresher. Today this tradition continues with an array of products for every purpose. The Wide Mouth Lunch Tote has an durable 18/8 stainless steel interior and exterior and will withstand the demands of everyday use. The Thermax vacuum insulation virtually eliminates temperature change by creating an airless vacuum space between two stainless steel walls. The result is an insulation layer that performs better than any other. A superior insulated container you can depend on to keep your food and beverages hotter, colder, fresher, longer.

Virtually unbreakable, this lightweight, vacuum-insulated tote travels to school, work, or recreation and keeps foods hot or cold for up to six hours. Four microwave-safe, white plastic containers stack inside, providing enough capacity for a balanced meal: salad, soup, main dish, and dessert. The main-dish container and leak-proof soup container have twist tops, while the salad and dessert containers have snap tops. A stainless steel spoon travels inside a plastic case that slips into a plastic holder attached to the tote's side, and a removable black nylon strap slips over a shoulder to keep the tote upright. With its satin-finish exterior, stainless steel inner liner, and black plastic accents, the tote (9-1/2 inches high, 4-1/2 inches in diameter) is handsome, compact, and durable. Preheating or prechilling the tote with hot or cold water, depending on the lunch's contents, is recommended. --Fred Brack

An exciting alternative to traditional packed lunch setups

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 22, 2008

Verified Purchase

This thermos product makes for an interesting but very practical lunch system. It is designed around the Japanese bento lunch jars that have been around for a while so this isn't any kind of innovation by Thermos. However it does advertises thermax insulation that is used in other thermos product that have an excellent reputation for heat/cold retention. The main selling point of this unit is the tremendous variety of different foods that you can pack compared to traditional packed lunch setups.

The outer container looks like an insulated thermos food Jar without the stopper and It comes with four inner containers.
The bottom container is insulated and sealed and is designed for saucy foods such as soups and stews. The middle container is insulated but not sealed so anything liquid will leak and make a mess. Why didn't thermos use a sealed lid like the bottom container? It appears that this container was specifically designed for rice which is very common in Japanese cuisine. By not sealing the container the rice will keep hot but by allowing moisture to escape the rice remains fluffy and the right texture. I find this container works well for any non-saucy foods that need to be kept hot such as vegetables, potatoes, pasta, spagetti etc...
The top two containers are basically non-insulated tupperware type containers. The top one sits in the cap area of the thermos so its not getting any insulation. These two containers are designed to keep foods at room temperatures.

A typical lunch could go something like this:

Pot roast and gravy in the sealed insulated container.
Roast potatoes, vegetables and stuffing in the unsealed insulated container.
A piece of cake and a salad in the other two containers.
Or perhaps you would like a hot dessert and cold entres. Let your imagination be your guide.

The insulated containers can also keep cold foods cold. As you can see, the possibilities are endless.

I'm pleased to say that the system does work well. Foods keep hot for six hours or so and the cold foods keep at room temperature, all in a neat compact package for easy toting. The unit is built like a tank, just like most Thermos Nissan products and overall quality is excellent.

The only issue is the goofy spoon container that hangs on the side of the unit that seems to be a lot bigger than it should be and which rattles around when toting the unit. My advise, take it off and just carry a plastic spoon with you.

Overall an excitng alternative to the more traditional packed lunch systems.

Acceptable Trucker's Solution

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2010

I was searching for on-the-road meal solutions for my husband, who is a medium-distance trucker and drives a small 5-tonne truck. I had tried 'ordinary' bento lunches before, but due to the distances he drives and the small size of his truck cab, we ran into serious food safety and storage safety issues. While looking for information on the Zojirushi Mr. Bento, I discovered the Thermos Nissan lunch tote. I chose the Thermos Nissan over the more popular Mr. Bento for the following reasons:
1) An independent site compared both bento jars and found them to be comparable in performance, with the Thermos Nissan coming out just a little bit ahead in temperature retention. With the issue of time before he can stop to eat, every little bit of food safety helps.
2) The stainless steel jacket is resistant to the knocks and bumps it takes in a truck cab.
3) The Thermos Nissan is very compact, with a carrying strap rather than the canvas bag of the Mr. Bento. The truck cab is tiny and having many items in the cab poses a safety issue; the Thermos Nissan fits into the gym bag that he already takes with him, so he doesn't have to bring yet another bag.
4) Price. During the time it takes for a driver to sign in at his destination and talk to the product receiver, thieves can pop out the locks on his truck's doors and remove bags, jackets and anything else that might contain sellable items. The Thermos Nissan won't be as expensive to replace, should it be stolen.
How does he like it? The Thermos Nissan has been performing acceptably. Typically it's about six hours until he gets a chance to eat; the food within the Thermos Nissan, although not hot, is still on the hot side of warm, enough to be delicious. We have found that the rice container keeps foods like french fries, chicken strips and popcorn shrimp from getting too soggy. His titanium spork fits into the spoon carrier, so the Thermos Nissan has unexpected geek appeal.
The Thermos Nissan does not come with detailed instructions for how to use it. I strongly suggest looking at tips for using a Mr. Bento, as they apply to the Thermos Nissan as well and will get the best performance from it. Prepared properly, the Thermos Nissan has given him hot, healthy meals on the coldest -40C nights. Two thumbs up!
