Primus recommend pouring boiling water into your flask and leaving for five minutes before you add your soup and this will keep it warmer for longer </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7079#post-74250 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:02:53 +0000 kaputnik 74250@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@crowriver you will have to cook more liquidy stews and casseroles! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7079#post-74242 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 11:39:18 +0000 crowriver 74242@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@kaputnik, yeah that BikeBuddy is great, thanks for the swap! ;-) Great foir a flask of tea in the winter, or nourishing soup on a chillier day ride. Can't get the chunkier flasks in it though, or I might have been dining on lamb casserole or stewed beef... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7079#post-74208 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 10:09:01 +0000 wingpig 74208@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Several quid cheaper than the LifeVenture flask are the squat wee food flasks Sainsbury and the like sometimes sell. £4 or so the last time I bought one, but possibly slightly too girthsome for the BikeBuddy. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7079#post-74207 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 10:00:20 +0000 SRD 74207@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have some leftover sterilization tabs (probably 5+ years old), if anyone wants them! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7079#post-74202 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 09:47:11 +0000 kaputnik 74202@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Darkerside if you get a container that doesn't quite fit your bottle cage securely enough, you may want to investigate a <a href="www.bikebuddy.co.uk/">@Bikebuddy cage</a>.</p> <p>Also, my colleagues have various thermal plastic lunch pots that I'm sure will keep yoghurt cool for longer.

Babies bottle stuff is great for cleaning plastic containers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7079#post-74191 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 09:26:03 +0000 Darkerside 74191@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm, cb's suggestion might be a goer, especially as the base has a discount Tiso store.</p> <p>@Instography - that'll be my fall back option I suspect.

After some experimentation (and inspiration from Costa) the preferred grub is fresh fruit over granola over Rachel's yoghurt (highly recommended), all inside a Morrison's screw top plastic tub which fits perfectly in a bike bottle holder and is just big enough to also hold a spoon.</p> <p>Whilst this was great over winter, with the warmer weather over the day the pot ends up gently cooking the remains of the yoghurt during the day and the container now reeks of rancid yoghurt. </p> <p>My hope is to find something metal to replace the plastic container, so even if it is unseasonably warm (or when I accidentally leave it on the bike overnight) I can still sterilise it properly afterwards. Anyone got any ideas? I've searched Sigg, Klean Kanteen and Glogg, but there's nothing suitable.</p> <p>Ideally after something about 6" tall that fits neatly inside a bottle holder and has a wide enough mouth for me to get a spoon at the contents... Any ideas? </p>
