Zojirushi Hello Kitty 17-Oz Stainless Steel Food Jar – Vacuum Insulated

Engineered for everyday meals

Zojirushi began in 1918 as a maker of hand-blown vacuum bottles, and the SW-EAE50KTBA Hello Kitty Food Jar carries that heritage forward with practical design and modern materials. The 17-ounce capacity sits comfortably in a bag or backpack, making it easy to bring a hot lunch, a cold drink, or a snack to work, school, or on the go. The interior features polished stainless steel with a nonstick coating, which helps keep flavors neutral and makes cleanup smoother. Built from 18/8 stainless steel and BPA-free plastics, this jar is designed for daily use with durability and sanitary care in mind.

Design, materials, and care

The Hello Kitty collection blends playful style with practical features. The vented lid helps release pressure for easier opening when contents are hot, and the gasketed lid minimizes leaks for secure transport. The exterior is durable and easy to wipe clean, while the polished interior resists staining and is designed to stay neutral to taste and smell. To extend longevity, hand washing is recommended for the gasket and exterior, and the jar can be stored with the lid off to air-dry after use.

Tips for best results

• Pre-warm or pre-chill the jar before filling to maximize temperature retention.
• Rinse promptly after use to prevent residue buildup and maintain flavor neutrality.
• Store with the lid loosened for air circulation when not in use.
