Brilio.net - The thermos is known as a piece of furniture that can keep the temperature of the water inside stable. Usually a thermos is used to store hot water so that it can be used at any time. Indeed, when put in a thermos, hot water tends to be stable and does not change temperature within a few hours.
However, a thermos that has been used for a long time, even for years, tends to make the water in it cool quickly. This can be caused by several things, starting from the condition of the thermos being damaged or the quality of the insulation decreasing. This insulation functions to prevent changes in the temperature of the water in the thermos, so that it remains hot for a long time. So, if the quality of the insulation starts to decline, it is very likely that the temperature of the water in the thermos will cool quickly.
To overcome this, a number of people usually dismantle the thermos and replace several components inside. Or there are also those who choose to cover the glass tube in the thermos with cloth. But instead of dismantling it first, there are actually other tricks that can be used to make the thermos last hot, you know.
Furthermore, this trick was used by the owner of the Instagram account @skill.rumahan. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he only used one simple tool to make the thermos last hot. Not only in a matter of hours, this tool can make the water in a thermos stay hot for up to 2 days. Are you curious about what this tool is?
How to make a thermos last hot.
Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @skill.rumahan, Friday (31/5), the tool in question is food plastic. Yup! He used a sheet of clear plastic which is often used to wrap food. So, this plastic will be used to wrap the top of the thermos.

To make it clearer how to use it, you have to make sure the thermos is empty first. If there is remaining water in it, throw it away immediately and replace it with a new one. Fill with freshly boiled hot water until it is completely boiling.

So, after filling it with hot water, line the top of the thermos with food plastic. If it has been coated in plastic, then close the thermos as usual. Make sure you close it really tightly so that the temperature inside the thermos doesn't spread out.
"In this way, the temperature in the thermos will remain stable. Hot water can last up to 1-2 days," said Instagram @skill.rumahan.
