Frequently Asked Questions
Is the FUNTAINER food jar BPA-free and safe for my childs daily lunches?
Yes. The interior is made from food-grade 18/8 stainless steel with no plastic touching the food, and the lid components are BPA-free, which is why parents concerned about plastic contact often switch to this jar.
Does the vacuum-insulated jar keep hot food at a safe eating temperature until lunch?
Yes. The double-wall vacuum insulation holds hot foods like soup, pasta, or chili at a warm, safe temperature for up to 5 hours, so the food is still in the right range when your child opens it at noon.
Will the outside of the jar get hot enough to burn small hands?
No. The double-wall vacuum design keeps heat inside the container, so the outer wall stays cool to the touch and safe for a child to carry from the lunchbox to the cafeteria table.
Is the stainless steel body food-safe for acidic foods like tomato soup?
Yes. 18/8 stainless steel is the same grade used in adult kitchenware and does not react with acidic foods like tomato or pasta sauce, so there is no metallic taste or chemical leaching into the food.
Will the lid seal leak soup or yogurt into my childs backpack?
The push-button lid is designed with a tight silicone seal to resist leaks during normal backpack transport, so it is safe to pack in a school bag next to a sandwich and a banana without worrying about spills.
How does the FUNTAINER compare to a plastic kids food container for safety?
Plastic can stain, hold odors, and in some cases contain chemicals of concern, while the FUNTAINER is stainless steel inside and out, which is why pediatricians and parents often recommend it for daily hot and cold lunches.
Is this safer than sending soup in a glass jar inside a lunchbox?
Yes. Glass can shatter if dropped on a cafeteria floor or jostled in a backpack, while the FUNTAINER stainless steel body is shatter-resistant and safe for the kind of rough handling kids put their lunchboxes through.
How does this compare to microwaving a plastic container at school?
Microwaving plastic can release chemicals into hot food, while the FUNTAINER is built to keep food hot on its own, which removes the need for a microwave and the risks that come with reheating plastic at school.
Is it safe to wash the FUNTAINER in the dishwasher?
The jar is designed for easy hand washing with warm soapy water, which is the recommended method to preserve the seal and printed finish. Parents who want the deepest clean can also use a long-handled bottle brush through the wide mouth.
Can the lid button pinch my childs finger?
The push-button is designed with a rounded edge and a smooth spring action, so it is safe for small fingers and does not pinch the way some hard plastic clasps can on cheaper food jars.
Does the stainless steel contain lead or other heavy metals?
No. The 18/8 stainless steel used in the FUNTAINER is food-grade and free of lead and other harmful heavy metals, which is one of the main reasons parents choose it over low-cost imported plastic containers.
Will the vacuum insulation fail and create a safety hazard?
The vacuum seal is engineered for years of daily use, and even after heavy wear, a loss of insulation only affects temperature performance, not safety, so there is no risk of sharp glass implosion or hot-metal exposure.
Is the FUNTAINER a safer lunch option than a thermos full of ice packs?
Yes. Ice packs can leak condensation or chemicals, while the FUNTAINER holds cold temperature through insulation alone, which means a safer, drier lunchbox and no risk of an ice pack bursting onto the food.
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.
