When the days slowly get shorter, the air becomes fresher, and the leaves turn colorful, many people feel that the best time of the year begins: late summer and early autumn. Hikes through vibrant forests, trips to clear lakes, or a spontaneous picnic in the park – being outdoors is especially appealing now. With the right gear, like a practical food thermos, every excursion becomes a nature experience where your meal is always right at hand.
Enjoy warm meals on the go with the Esbit Food Jug
Especially when the weather turns cooler, warm meals are a true comfort factor. The Esbit food jug keeps soups, stews, or pasta hot for hours – perfect for a break during a hike or a cozy outdoor picnic.
Mini recipe ideas for your food jug:
-
Autumn pumpkin curry soup: creamy, flavorful, filling – a true classic for chilly days.
-
Pasta with vegetables & pesto: quick to prepare, satisfying, and delicious even lukewarm.
-
Overnight oats with apple & cinnamon: prepared in the morning directly in the food jug and enjoyed later in the day as a warm sweet dish.
-
Savory turnovers: kept warm in the jug – the perfect snack for on the go.
Warm, fresh & versatile – all day long
The suggested recipes are ideal for our food jugs. Soups and curries, in particular, stay hot for hours. It’s important to preheat the jug with hot water before filling it. This way, the insulating performance is further optimized and the food jugs keep meals warm all day long – for up to 12 hours. That means you’ll always have a warm, hearty meal with you.
Pasta dishes also work perfectly: pasta with pesto still tastes fresh and aromatic after several hours – whether packed warm or as a cold pasta salad.
You can even prepare overnight oats directly in the jug. Simply add the dry ingredients, pour in hot liquid, close the lid, and let it soak. The porridge stays warm and fresh throughout the day.
All our food jugs are 100% leak-proof, so you can safely carry your favorite meals in your backpack. Models with a practical pressure-release button are easy to open at any time, and the lid can even be used as a bowl.
