Thermos flask borked

Just a note for your consideration all you peeps suggesting heating the thermos to attain higher internal pressure...

Firstly you remember this is a Thermos we're talking about, these things let heat in as readily as they let it out. Now I don't know what temperature the soup was when it was first poured into said container but I'd hate to think how long it would take to make it hotter through the extremely effecient insulation on those things.

Just a thought.

Yeah.... but.... against a blow torch :D Problem solved...
 
If your going for heat just pop it in the oven for an hour or two. If nothing else it might melt the flask in interesting ways. It'll stop the soup going cold too!

Don't blame me if it explodes and takes out the oven. Of course there's aways the microwave...
 
Assuming it's of standard design, sufficient impact force will equalise the pressure between the inner glass vessel and the outer plastic casing thus allowing the lid to be safely removed.

Some filtration may be necessary to remove any unwanted particles.

Put a Elastic / Rubber band around the top for more grip.

I vaguely remember reading in a lads mag about how you can combine this with a stunned bee to permanently enlarge / deform a part of the human anatomy. Seem to remember the term "Quasimodo Syndrome" being used when it went wrong.

OP should remember this when trying to open the soup.

Just fellate it until it squirts the soup out.

As far as I understood it's a pair of highly polished metal cylinders (to reflect infra-red aka heat radiation) with vacuum inbetween (to iliminate conduction), so what you on about?

Glass and plastic, guess that must be old school now :o
