Tips to make a travel flask our best travel mate
After a long time facing social distancing due to covid-19 pandemic, it’s certain that many would want to travel. One of the necessary stuff to bring along would be a travel flask. We will be looking at key points on how to choose the most suitable travel flask, given there is a variety of the product available in the market.
Types of travel flask
Normally, we need a big flask to keep hot drinks. Each person should also bring an individual flask. The big-size flask often holds two to three liters, while the individual flask is capable of keeping 0.5 to 1.0 liter of liquid.
In the market there is a variety of eye-catching travel flasks that can fit consumer’s taste
These travel flasks may consist of a glass refill with a stainless steel outer, or are fully made from stainless steel or plastic. Their shapes vary, some look short and big, others long and slim, with colors either royal red, golden or metallic, etc.
Tips to choose the suitable travel flask
It may be tricky to try and choose the most suitable travel flask, given variety of the product. The first point we must make sure to learn rests with whether the material used to make the flask is safe. Glass refill is the safest material for containing food as no toxic chemical emits during the contact between food and glass. Next is stainless steel with full and good surface treatment to prevent the chemist reaction between foods and containers. Eventually, high-quality plastic which can withstand temperatures of up to 140 degrees Celsius is also one of the safe materials for food containers.
Next, we should study the flask specifications before making the purchase. In case of a plastic flask, if the specifications fail to mention it is BPA-free, please don’t take it. A similar decision should also be made for the type of flasks which gives insufficient information about origin, materials, certificate and caution for users.
Here are samples of several current famous travel flasks
The best flask should be able to keep hot drinks for 12 hours, meaning the 100-degree C drink should cool down to 92 degrees C after 12 hours. These flasks normally carry the highest price. We can select the cheaper ones as long as their information and specifications are explicit and trustable.
For travelling, we should own 2 types of flask, a 2-litre flask and the other individual flask with 1-litre capacity. They should be fully made of stainless steel totally for our convenience while moving. This material also can resist impacts, or get small scratches after being dropped.
