Lunch boxes & thermoses

Lunch boxes and food flasks with stainless steel interiors and non-plastic food-contact lids and seals.

Food reaches more than the tray when lunch travels to school.  We examine lids, compartments and gaskets together and exclude plastic wherever it can touch the meal.  An insulated carrier is different from the food container itself, and perishable lunches still need suitable temperature control.

Kobo Aizawa 70128 Stainless Steel Lunch Box (670 mL) Kobo Aizawa 70128 Stainless Steel Lunch Box (670 mL) STAINLESS STEELSILICONE Why we recommend it: This Japanese-made lunch box uses uncoated 18/8 stainless steel for the container, lid and removable divider, with a silicone lid gasket.  Rounded corners and a removable gasket make it easier to clean after school.  The clips suit older children who can open them comfortably; carry it upright and pack solid foods, because it is not leakproof.

Onyx Divided Stainless Steel Lunch Container — FS014 Onyx Divided Stainless Steel Lunch Container — FS014 STAINLESS STEELSILICONE Why we recommend it: A steel lid and silicone seal keep the food-contact surfaces free of conventional plastic, while removable dividers separate lunch portions.  Take the dividers out for a larger meal or easier cleaning.  This Korean-made box is not insulated, and the sections are not individually leakproof.  Wash the lid by hand; the bowl can go in the dishwasher.
