A vacuum flask is a flask which consists of two glass containers, one inside the other, sealed together with a vacuum in between them.
The vacuum means that no transfer of heat by conduction or convection can occur, so the contents of the flask will remain at constant temperature, apart from any transfer by radiation (which can travel through a vacuum). The inside surfaces of the flask are covered with a shiny coating to reflect radiation and minimise this.
