Got any recipe recommendations for the three part thermos? I've been eyeing it but cannot come up with anything that I would use it for.

(Photo is misleading since you probably don't want any food sticking out and I question the leak proof section for soup, probably good knowing the manufacturer but still questionable).

BASS “the green brush” — bamboo handle, wood bristles. Had one that lasted 20 years before the bristles started to loosen. Now on my second and it’s around 10 years old.

I like an oval head fairly flat brush — so it is perfect for me, but my kid thinks the bristles are too rough on the scalp. YMMV.

Yes, that water boiler is amazing. Wife goes through one 3.4 liters of boiling water every two days (she doesn’t like cold water and she drinks a lot of water every day). Best damn money I’ve spent, imho, gets daily use and keeps water piping hot. Just so damn convenient.

And every once in a while if I want tea or a hot drink, I can just pop in to the kitchen, press a button, and instant hot drink!

Zojirushi makes a thermal cooker which is basically where the inner layer is a pot that you can boil a soup or stew in on the stove, then place it into another insulated container with a lid and it would be an energy-free slow cooker.

On the personal vacuum flasks, I usually toss in a small ice cube which gets it where it needs to be or I'll be burning my lips on hot tea all day.

Their higher end appliances are fantastic. I've got their induction pressure rice cooker and their water boiler/dispenser.

Awesomely over-engineered thermal flasks. The last one lasted my family 20 years and others on this sub got them to last even longer.

They also perform very well in keeping things hot or cold throughout its life. It's an investment when bought outside of Asia/Japan but it's a good investment I'm willing to pay for again.

They also do rice cookers and other lunch boxes (bento boxes) well worth checking out.
