Therma chamber lid designed with small chamber structure inside the lid improves heat retention

We put a lot of effort and thought into the lid design, which is jam-packed with features that improve its performance and make it super easy to use. The revolutionary Therma Chamber lid has small internal chambers that reduce heat loss through conduction. Thanks to this new design, the Stainless Steel Food Jars achieve the highest heat retention in Zojirushi history.

New lid design made with fewer parts for easy cleaning

Ease of use is vital to us and is reflected in the lid’s design. The lid has a new leak-proof* one-piece stopper with integrated gasket (*when used properly according to the instruction manual). It has wider grooves making it super easy to clean every nook and cranny. What’s best is that it is made of only two pieces, so you will never misplace small parts anymore!
