can I carry soup in car without it spilling

If you could fit the full kettle into something like a plastic milk crate and make sure it's secure and won't tip over you might be Ok. The lid is a hinge so you would maybe want to cover the interior pot with plastic wrap then foil. This kettle won't re-heat the soup hot enough to combat any bacteria growth that occurs during transport due to unsafe temperature holding. So transport soup this way at your own risk.

no. The lid fits very loose so that it is easy to serve. I used cling wrap and a rubber band on the pot itself then set it in the black pot. I then put the lid on. It did keep the soup from spilling out. I hope that helps.I love the soup Kettle and would buy it again. But it is not for travel for sure.

I wouldn't try it . Carry in another container and give yourself time to warm at destination.

No. The lid has no way to secure it closed. Also hot water is what keeps the soup warm. With the lid unsecured the hot water would spill in case of an accident. It is a very good product for stationary use.

You should be able to carry it if you don't fill it all the way up and the ride is smooth. The part that holds the soup is a cylinder inside the black kettle. The lid that you see in the picture sits loosely on top of the kettle and isn't sealed or held thigh against the top. Hope that helps.

I am not sure, I have not tried transporting. But other than that It is very good for the purpose that I need it for. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Blessings

No, the little containers included with it are sort of leak resistant. If I send soups or something leaky I use a thermos instead. My daughters favor dry food (fruits and veggies included) for lunch and all stews and soups are done for dinner at home.

I used it for liquid soup. It was great never had a leak. It comes wirh a lid that doibles as a bowl and has a folding spoon. I love it. And I am usually discriminating in taste.

I would not put a soup in there but it is solid, I do not have an issue with leaks. The big dipper compartment is perfect for soups, but I add a rubberband to be certain.

I have not used it for soup but would do it. Just because of the sealing from inside. Just be careful with the cap/lid. It does not stay tight.

I have two of these - it is microwaveable.....it has an insert for steaming things. But, I wouldn't consider it leakproof. I put soup in it - but I do not turn it upside down. There is a tight seal when you put the strap on top - but, again, I wouldn't just throw it around with soup in it. Hope this helps!To clarify - the lids just sit on top of the containers. They are not threaded and there is no real seal/snap on type - the strap holds the lids tightly to the containers.

I can't imagine why you would want to pressurize soup or sauce, but it would not function with any kind of solid pieces in the soup. it would clog and you'd be left with a pressurized cylinder that you could not relieve the pressure on.

I'm guessing yes. I warm all sorts of stuff in mine. Need stew, spaghetti, soup and more. I haven't tried a liquid. Not sure how spill proof pure liquid will be. I mean when I have soup it gets tossed around and it's been fine so far.

Sorry it will leak if you try to travel with it. I tried a water test with it and the top container with it only filled half way and it leaked in a walking carry test and if tipped will leak badly. The lower containers are just as bad, I would suggest a real thermos is best for soup. This container is great for snacks and other solid foods. Sorry

I've had one of the mugs for about seven years and carried it to work and school in a backpack or messenger bag-- never any leaks. This is the only container I would use to transport soup to work. After years of use the lid is starting to wear out and be less secure now, but I used it typically once a week for a long time before that happened.

No. But depends on size of the spoon. For watery soup, you do have to be careful opening it. So, don't fill it to the top and open slowly.

Mark - it will hold liquids as long as you don't go flinging them around. It's not gonna be great for soup really but a little sriracha or something like that in one of the compartments would probably be fine. Get one. It's worth it. Killer customer service too.

The lunchblox containers are spill proof so I've never had a spill within the bag. However, unless you carry a purse the size of a small suitcase you'll probably be carrying this bag separately.

you can drink directly from the mug while driving, however it is a screw top, not a sliding drinking port that opens the top. so if you are worried about spilling, yes you can spill as the entire top is open (there is a mesh strainer since this is originally designed for drinking loose leaf tea), however if you are worried about leaks from the seal, no I've never had mine leak.

Yes, I think so. It is 10 oz. A big soup can like chunky is 12. So u can fit it all in except for a little broth. Add carrot sticks or some potato chips and good to go.

I actually do use it for soup. Of course you have to be careful, like opening a hot radiator.

Hi! No, it is not leak proof. When traveling with it I take extra precaution to not fill it too close to the top as well as snuggling it between other things so that it will have less chance of spillage. Otherwise, I try to plan meals for the thermal cooker with foods that aren't so liquid-y, like stews or pottage-type lentil stew...not really soups. You may still get a little spillage inside the cooker but that is why the manufacturer recommends placing a folded paper towel on the bottom. If you have sauces you might want to consider placing them in sealed containers then in the cooker to keep temp. Have not tried but just a suggestion.
