ziparumpazooI was looking for the dissasembly instructions online to clean the lid of my travel mug. If didnt already own the mug, which really does live up to all the reviews - it actually kept my coffee warm enough to be drinkable for over 11hours when I forgot it on the shelf by the front door, and even after my commute in -30C temps, it still needs time to cool off before drinking, I'd be sold by this review:

5.0 out of 5 stars Can be used for Liquid Nitrogen, June 2, 2011

This review is from: Thermos 16-Ounce Vacuum-Insulated Travel Tumbler, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
Everybody has already said how amazing this mug is, so I'll skip that.
But you should all know that this mug can be effectively used as a hand-dewar for liquid nitrogen. I bought 50 liters for my birthday party (molecular gastronomy day!). We needed a mobile unit we could dip things into for freezing (frozen marshmallows, nom). I filled my thermos with LiN and proceeded to be amazed. The outside was NOT EVEN COLD TO THE TOUCH. Excuse me, this bears repeating.

FILLED WITH LIQUID NITROGEN, THE THERMOS WAS NOT AT ALL COLD TO THE TOUCH.

Except right around the top-- but whatever. Anyway, I was damn impressed. The LiN didn't boil off once it was settled. We had fun.
Just... don't put the cap on. The plastic might not agree with the cold.
Also, it could explode.

*wonders where to get LiN on a Saturday...*
Also discovered the little hook thingy on the bottom of the lid does have a purpose other than looking odd - it's a tea bag hook!
