Frequently Asked Questions
Is the FUNTAINER food jar safe for my child to use at school independently?
Yes. The push-button lid is designed for small hands to open and close with one motion, and the integrated folding spoon stores safely inside the lid so there are no loose parts for a kindergartner to lose in their lunchbox.
Will the stainless steel jar break if my kid drops it on the cafeteria floor?
The double-wall 18/8 stainless steel body is built to absorb everyday drops, dings, and backpack bumps, so it holds up to the rough handling that comes with elementary school lunchrooms and playground edges.
Is the exterior of the jar safe for a child to hold right after it has hot soup inside?
The vacuum-insulated double wall keeps heat inside the container, so the outside stays comfortably cool to the touch and safe for small hands to carry to the lunch table.
Can my 3-year-old open the lid without help?
The easy-press button lid is intentionally simple for toddler and preschool-age hands, so most children between 3 and 10 can open it on their own, which helps build self-sufficiency at mealtime.
Is the interior coating safe for my childs hot pasta and cold yogurt?
The interior is made from food-grade 18/8 stainless steel with no plastic touching the food, so hot mac and cheese and cold fruit yogurt both stay in a clean, neutral container from kitchen to cafeteria.
Is this a good lunchbox for a kindergartner who eats a small breakfast-style lunch?
Yes. The 10 oz capacity is portioned for a child-sized meal, which works well for younger eaters who do better with a snack-sized thermos of soup, cut fruit, or yogurt rather than a full adult portion.
Will the folding spoon work for a 4-year-old or is it too small?
The included folding spoon is sized for a childs hand and a childs mouth, so it works for toddlers through tweens, and it folds flat into the lid so it does not poke other items in the lunchbox.
Is this safe to pack in my childs backpack with a banana and crackers?
Yes. The leak-resistant seal and rigid stainless steel body keep the contents contained, and the folding spoon tucks into the lid so nothing is loose to spill onto the rest of the lunch.
How does a stainless steel kids jar compare to a plastic kids lunch container?
Stainless steel holds temperature far longer than plastic, does not absorb food odors or stains from tomato soup or berries, and does not contain BPA, which is why many parents switch from plastic to a FUNTAINER for daily school use.
What is better for a preschooler, this jar or a bento box with multiple compartments?
If your child prefers one warm or one cold item like soup, pasta, or yogurt, the insulated jar is the better pick; a bento box is better for separated dry snacks like crackers, cheese, and grapes.
Is the FUNTAINER safer for a 7-year-old than sending food in a glass container?
Yes. Unlike glass, the 18/8 stainless steel will not shatter if it falls from a lunchbox on the playground, which is a real everyday risk in elementary cafeterias and on the ride to school.
My child is a messy eater; will food stain or smell inside the jar?
The nonporous stainless steel interior resists stains from tomato sauce and odors from garlic or onions, so a quick hand wash with warm soapy water is usually all that is needed between uses.
Is the lid button easy enough that my child will not get frustrated at lunch?
The push-button mechanism is designed to be intuitive for young children, and the lid opens smoothly so kids do not need adult help, which avoids the lunchtime frustration that comes with hard-to-open twist tops.
Can my child use this jar for both hot lunch and cold after-school snack?
Yes. The vacuum insulation keeps hot foods like chicken noodle soup warm for up to 5 hours and cold foods like yogurt with berries chilled for up to 7 hours, so the same jar works for lunch and a later snack.
How do you pack hot soup in the FUNTAINER so it stays warm until lunch?
Preheat the jar by filling it with hot tap water and letting it sit for a few minutes, then empty it and add your hot soup or pasta. The preheated vacuum chamber will keep the food at a warm temperature for up to 5 hours.
How do you clean the folding spoon and the inside of the jar?
Hand wash the jar and folding spoon in warm soapy water, then use a long-handled bottle brush through the wide-mouth opening to reach the bottom. Let both pieces air dry fully with the lid off before reassembling.
How do you open the push-button lid for the first time?
Press the button on the front of the lid to release the seal, then lift the lid off. To close, line up the lid and press down firmly until you hear the button click back into the locked position.
Does the FUNTAINER 10 oz food jar fit in a standard kids lunchbox?
Yes. The 10 oz jar is designed to fit inside most popular elementary-school lunchboxes and insulated lunch bags, sitting upright next to a sandwich, a fruit, and an ice pack without crowding the box.
Is the FUNTAINER food jar compatible with other Thermos FUNTAINER lids and accessories?
The 10 oz FUNTAINER jar is compatible with other genuine Thermos FUNTAINER brand lids and replacement spoons of the same size, so you can replace a lost spoon or a worn lid without buying a whole new jar.
What is included in the box when I open the FUNTAINER?
Inside the box you will find the 10 oz stainless steel insulated food jar, the integrated folding spoon stored in the lid, and a use-and-care insert. No additional accessories need to be purchased separately to start using the jar.
How long does the FUNTAINER keep food at the right temperature during a school day?
The vacuum-insulated double wall keeps hot foods like soup and pasta warm for up to 5 hours and cold foods like yogurt and fruit chilled for up to 7 hours, which easily covers a typical morning-to-lunch school day.
Is the FUNTAINER food jar leakproof when tossed in a backpack?
The push-button lid is engineered with a tight seal to resist leaks during normal backpack transport, so when the lid is fully clicked closed the jar will not leak onto the rest of the lunchbox contents.
What is the difference between a food jar and a water bottle?
A water bottle is designed for liquids you sip through a spout, while a food jar like the FUNTAINER has a wide-mouth opening and a folding spoon specifically for solid and semi-solid foods like soup, pasta, yogurt, and oatmeal.
