Certainly sounds a good idea, but (obviously!) it only works if your flask seperates into two sections. Unfortunately my stainless jobbies from J Lewis do not, but if it works as 'dankey 123 suggests then perhaps I need to spend...
My only alternative to this is wrapping the flask in a tea towel or similar once filled and this does help to some degree.
It's my opinion that the contents of a flask are bound to cool quicker (in winter) simply because the outer casing is in contact with cold air even if it sits in a fishing bag. Proof? Well, I think I can safely say that (my) flasks cool much quicker in winter compared to summer and this is why I go for two smaller ones....
It still seems odd to me with all the new technology around plus major scientific advancements in so many fields that keeping a liquid very hot for (say) 10 hours would not present much of a problem. We have 'hand/feet' warmers to help keep the extremities warmer and I'm sure many other examples can be found, so why is it impossible not to have some form of chemical agent encased in a screw-on base to a flask (for example) that could do a similar job?
As you can see I'm pretty good at coming up with a simple solution without having any idea of what i'm talking about!
Perhaps it comes down to cost and the manufactures of flasks are happy with sales, based on the fact that most flasks are emptied, probably, within 3/4 hours of being filled..
.............no doubt I've answered my own question eh?
Ah well,..................
ps When I'm filthy rich I shall have a 'man' come down to my swim to make fresh tea in a pot, 'as and when'.......but in the meantime.....
