How does the isothermal element work?

We use a double stainless wall with a vacuum between to block thermal exchanges by conduction or convection. To block exchanges by thermal radiation, a fine layer of copper covers the outside of the inner wall.The top is insulated thanks to an internal insert made from expanded polystyrene.The bowl is made from double wall stainless steel without an air gap to keep the warm feeling without getting burnt.

Top tips…

As well as keeping food warm, you can also keep it chilled on your hikes.There’s nothing better than a spoon of ice cream halfway through your walk to motivate the kids (and the grown-ups!).
You can also use your box as a yoghurt maker:Bring the milk to the boil, leave it to cool down to around 43°C (warm but doesn’t burn), then pour the milk into the box with a spoon of yoghurt.Close the box and leave overnight (between 6 and 10 hours).
