Skater Thermal Lunch Jar 800 ml

A packed lunch can be awkward when you want to keep foods separate without carrying several containers. Skater’s two-tier thermal lunch jar gives you an 800 ml format in one stainless-steel-bodied unit.

It’s designed for both hot and cold food, with stated retention figures for six hours. That makes it worth considering for a prepared lunch, rather than treating it as a general-purpose food container.

The main limitation is practical: the listing doesn’t say whether it is leakproof or dishwasher-safe, so those details shouldn’t be assumed.

Key specifications

The jar has an 800 ml capacity and measures 13 x 12.4 cm for the main unit. The body and lid are stainless steel with an acrylic resin coating, the clasp is also stainless steel. The inner container and inner lid are polypropylene, with a silicone rubber gasket and an elastomer bottom plate. In other words, the outside is metal, but the food-contact inner parts are plastic rather than stainless steel.

The stated heat retention is above 58°C after six hours, while cold retention is 11°C after six hours. These figures offer a useful comparison point, but the listing doesn’t specify the test conditions, so they aren’t a guarantee of the temperature your meal will reach in everyday use. It also lists an SIAA certification mark and ISO 22196.

Who it’s for

This format may suit someone who wants a thermal lunch container with two tiers for keeping parts of a meal apart. For example, you could pack a main dish in one section and a separate side in the other, then carry them together instead of taking two standalone tubs. It’s a more organised approach than a basic single-compartment jar, while still being a compact lunch-focused format.

It suits you if you value the stated hot-and-cold retention figures and don’t mind that the inner container is polypropylene. It may not suit you if you need confirmed leakproofing, dishwasher-safe care instructions, or an all-stainless-steel interior, none of those details are provided. Based on the listed information, the antimicrobial mark is a product detail, not a reason to assume anything beyond the certification stated.

Everyday use

The two-tier arrangement is the main point of difference for day-to-day packing. It could help keep a lunch and its accompaniment organised in one container, rather than mixing them together in a single tub. The 800 ml capacity gives a clear sense of volume, but there’s no information about the capacity of each tier separately, so you can’t judge the split from the listing alone.

The listed dimensions are for the main unit, and the inner container depth is given as 1.9 inches. There’s no stated weight, care guidance or detail about how securely the lid seals. If your routine involves carrying soup or other spill-prone food, that missing seal information matters more than the thermal figures. For a dry or less liquid lunch, the two-tier design may be easier to assess against your usual portion and packing needs.

Three practical questions

How long is the food meant to stay hot or cold? The stated figures are above 58°C for heat retention and 11°C for cold retention after six hours. The listing doesn’t give test conditions.

Is the inner container stainless steel? No. The inner container and lid are listed as polypropylene, stainless steel is used for the body, lid and clasp.

Does the listing confirm that it won’t leak? No leakproof claim is provided. If you plan to carry liquids, that’s a detail to establish before choosing it.

Final verdict

Choose this Skater lunch jar if you want an 800 ml, two-tier format with stated six-hour temperature retention and are comfortable with a polypropylene interior. It has a clear use case for keeping lunch components organised in one container. Look elsewhere if a confirmed leakproof seal, dishwasher guidance or an all-metal inner container is essential to your decision.
