And if you are a fan of traditional baklava—regardless of the cultural origin of the particular iteration—you will likely agree with me that the process of making this crunchy and nutty dessert is a bit involved, and can be intimidating to make for those less acquainted.

Ranked as one of the best thermoses in our review, the Stanley Classic Legendary bottle keeps beverages steaming hot for many hours—but most impressively, the thermos is basically indestructible.
