The patent concerns a novel insulated container to keep food or drink hot in cold climates. The efficiency of the insulated container is enhanced by the use of crystals of various kinds which are first liquefied by heat and thereafter permitted to crystallize in which process they give off heat. permitted to crystallize in which process they give off heat. The fusible heat storing and diffusing material is disposed around the top of the container wall to offset any loss of heat through an upper double wall area which may be depleted of insulation by the packing.
