Heat can be transferred in three ways: conduction, convection, radiation. In a vacuum flask, conduction and convection are greatly reduced through a vacuum (hence the name!) between two glass layers, whereas radiation is greatly reduced by the mirror coating on the same glass. As a result, heat takes much longer to get out - or in, since you can also keep cold things in a vacuum flask.Note that no vacuum flask will keep things hot (or cold) indefinitely; it simply takes much longer for hot things to cool down, or for cold things to heat up.
