What customers say
Owners overwhelmingly praise the Zojirushi Thermal Soup Jar for its exceptional thermal retention, keeping food piping hot for six hours or more, which is excellent for work or school lunches. The stainless steel construction feels durable and premium, reinforcing the brand's reputation for quality. A wide mouth design simplifies both filling and daily cleaning. While the 300ml capacity suits smaller meals, some users find it too compact for a full adult serving. Despite a higher price, the superior, reliable performance justifies the investment for those prioritizing function and longevity.
Know before you buy
The Zojirushi SW-KA30-HL is designed to maintain temperatures for up to 6 hours. For the best results, we recommend pre-heating the jar with boiling water for hot foods or chilling it with ice water for cold items before filling.
Yes, it features a secure, leak-proof screw-top design. You can safely carry it in a bag or backpack without worrying about spills, provided the lid is tightened correctly.
Not at all. The lid is specifically engineered with a pressure-release mechanism, which ensures you can open the jar easily even after the internal temperature has changed.
Yes, the wide mouth is designed for convenience, making it easy to eat directly from the jar with a spoon or fork without needing to transfer your meal to a separate bowl.
Absolutely. The interior is constructed from durable 18/8 stainless steel, and all components that come into contact with your food or beverages are completely BPA-free.
The wide opening makes it easy to reach inside with a sponge for hand washing. We recommend hand washing the jar to preserve the vacuum insulation and finish, rather than putting it in the dishwasher.
