- Hey everybody, it's Kim with www.getgreenbewell.com.
I wanna share with you some of my favorite
stainless steel lunch containers that are perfect for you
if you are bringing lunch to work,
they're perfect for the kiddos if you are packing
their school lunches everyday.
They're actually great for just having snacks in the car,
or on the go while traveling.
These things are ideal for so many situations,
and what's great about stainless steel is that
it is nearly indestructible, and you can give it
to the kids and they can throw it on the ground,
and it can go in the dishwasher,
and it's still going to perform like a champ.
So, stainless steel does not release toxins.
It does not, you know, release anything into
the food that is being stored in it,
that you then wanna need to worry about long term.
So that's why I love it, also, it saves you money.
You buy a stainless steel container once,
and then you can just reuse it and reuse it and reuse it
for years to come, and so, obviously,
it's gonna save you money over the long run.
So without further ado,
I'm gonna share some of my favorites.
I'm also gonna link these in the comments below,
because there are some that I don't have to show you,
because many of you know,
I'm in a temporary housing situation,
and a lot of my favorites are packed up in storage.
So I do have photos of things like that,
but they're gonna be in the blog post,
and again, I'm gonna link those below.
So, this is my first one, this is LunchBots.
This is actually the very first stainless steel
container that I ever bought, over a decade ago.
And I still have it, it's in my storage container.
But the original one is still looking great,
and performing well.
So this is the new version, and you can see
there is a colored top on it, lemme open it first,
and then I'll explain the top.
So the one that I chose has kind of like a bento box feel,
inside, you can't really see it with the camera,
but like, underneath each little divider,
there's just a really tiny little area,
where liquids would be able to go through,
so it's like, you wouldn't want to be putting
anything that's juicy in here, kind of like a slaw or
a salad with dressing on it because it would probably would
end up migrating the liquids into the other compartments.
But they're really good,
you can buy them without the inserts,
you can buy them with other different types of inserts,
like one and one, so, all kinds of different styles.
Again, this can go in the dishwasher.
And then LunchBots now has a way to customize the tops,
so you can choose whatever color you like that they offer,
and it just simply snaps on to this stainless steel top,
and let me get that while I'm talking,
and then that way, you can put everything
into the dishwasher, you can customize it for your kids,
everybody can have a different color if you want.
And as you can see, it's just snapping off right here.
And so I believe you buy, you buy this,
and then you can add one the colors.
So that is what this looks like if you just want
really minimalistic, just go with stainless steel,
otherwise, add on some colors.
So that is LunchBots, again, one of my favorite companies.
Moving onto another favorite, this is the Blue Water Bento
stainless steel nesting bowls.
These are from ECOlunchbox and that is where I got these,
and these, as you can see, I'll pull them all out
are three nesting bowls and they have silicone covers.
Now silicone is different than plastic,
silicone is made with sand,
and plastic is just made with a lot of other stuff.
(laughter)
So you might be more comfortable with silicone.
I am not uncomfortable with plastic tops
in any way shape or form because generally,
all the food is sitting in here, you're not usually,
you know, having the food sit like that,
and so, I am just more concerned with where the food
is going to be ninety percent of the time
rather than the cover but you might have a different feeling
so otherwise, silicone is pretty good,
and lemme get all of these out.
If you buy this nesting set, you will have three
in all different sizes which is great because
you never know what you might be packing for lunch.
It's also makes really great storage containers
if you're not using these for lunch.
So these are all of the three sets,
and perfect for snack containers as well,
and then it saves on storage so instead of having
to stack all these and put them in a cabinet,
they're all gonna nest into this below, which is brilliant.
And then next on the list is gonna be PlanetBox.
As you can tell, this is a whole lunch box system,
and I love it, it is so amazing, especially for kids.
So I'm gonna first show you the lunchbox system outside
and then I'll show you what
stainless steel container is inside.
So they sell water bottles, they sell all kinds of
accoutrements that can come with this lunchbox kit,
so that's why you have this pocket right there
that you can fit the water bottle in.
You have a velcro-lined pocket so that you can put snacks
or anything that's like maybe pre-packaged,
you can put the napkins, utensils, whatever you'd like.
And I love what you're gonna see when I open this up
is that everything is like wipe-able.
And again, this comes in a variety of colors.
It's a lot of colors, it has an adustable strap,
it has the padded strap, and then, these huge zippers
which are great for kids, so we will open this up, and then
inside, it reveals the stainless steel lunchbox kit.
Can you see that?
I love that.
So lemme first finish showing you
the way that the lunchbox works.
There is again another place where you can put utensils
or what not, you got some elastics right here,
and everything is just wipe-able,
and all of the different colors would have different insides
as well, so you really need to go online
and see everything that they have to offer.
Now within the kit, and you don't have to buy the outside,
you can just buy this kit alone.
They have three different sizes
and this is the Launch Lunchbox, and you can customize it
with the stickers, these magnetic stickers.
So you would use whatever, they have different colors,
they have different patterns, there's so many different
things to choose from on their site.
You would get a four pack, and then it easily comes off.
So you can wash this in the dishwasher,
and then you pop it back on,
and again, this can be customizing,
you can get different magnet packs
so your kids never know what it's gonna look like
that day when they get their lunch.
This one you can write your name on.
This is like, I can't remember the name of it,
but I think like the adventure pack and so
I just thought those were really cute.
Again, you don't have to get the magnets
but they are super cute and really fun.
And then this is like a bento box,
so you just flip that open, and then inside,
you have all these compartments.
And so it's really great, this one specifically
comes with this little dipper and what is it
a point three cup little dipper
and it has a silicone lid on it.
Everything has a space theme,
even the names like this one is called Launch.
So this is one configuration, they have ones
with I think five different compartments,
like a little compartment in there,
so you need to go online and see what they have.
But they do have a lot of different offerings.
A lot of different water bottles, ways to customize.
It's really great, and this, if you could feel it,
this is like really sturdy stainless steel.
This is a heavy stainless steel, not heavy
where it's like too hard to carry, but like,
you can tell that this is durable and strong.
So this, yeah, this is just a really great investment,
and super fun too.
Alright now I have another stainless steel bowl nesting set,
and that is what these look like.
These are from mira,
and these do not have the silicone lids, they do have
hard plastic number four lids.
But again, like I said,
I'm not as concerned with the lid situation.
So, these are just slightly slightly smaller than
the Blue Bento Box but you might like those colors as well.
Hey so another option from mira is this
square stainless steel container
and it has a clear plastic lid, so that's kind of nice
if you wanna see what is going to be in the food.
This is also great for salads, if you're not doing like,
a lot of different things, this is ideal for a salad,
or a sandwich, something where you're not having
a lot of different foods in a meal, but just one big meal.
This is also great for food storage, for daily use as well.
I love the see-through plastic top, they also have this in
I think the other color was blue as well.
So this is definitely multi-purpose, and multi-functional.
And then once again, from mira, we have another great
stainless steel option, and this is gonna be if you're using
really hot foods, especially liquids.
Sometimes, like really cold foods such as ice cream
or gelato or something like that.
So these are insulated stainless steel containers.
And this one is one of the larger ones,
and the top actually turns into a small bowl.
So if you needed to have that, you have a bowl attached.
And then you would unscrew the top, and you have this
really super well insulated stainless steel food container.
Like I said, this is perfect for anything you want
to keep cold, because this will keep it cold
without having to use additional ice packs in your lunch box
so you could literally just put this in a backpack
or put this in your purse, and it will keep cool
rather than a lot of these other stainless steel containers
you're gonna actually have to pack an ice pack as well
to keep anything chilled.
And comes with the bowl like I said.
They do have smaller versions in a lot of variety
of different colors so check them out
but soups, stews, if you microwave a meal, put it in here,
it'll keep warm till lunch, I've done that
while hiking before, and it really is a smart idea
because you can have hot meal and you don't have to have
a lot of stuff that you're packing.
It's just this, and you put it in the backpack and go.
And then finally, we have a classic tiffin box,
and this is is from To Go Ware.
This is a stackable stainless steel system.
They've been made popular in India and this is how
people would carry their lunches.
You can get them like three compartments,
you can buy just the one compartment,
and what's interesting is that you can remove
one of these compartments,
and you can just carry it singularly.
So you can like do double system or a singular.
It's kind of like a two for one system.
The problem is, that I've found, and that's why
I'm gonna talk about it before I open it up and show you
is that it's just a little loud, there's a lot of latches,
and it's you know stainless steel.
So anytime you have a clasp that's going against metal
it's gonna be a little bit loud.
So let me open up all the clasps
and show you what it looks like.
(metal banging)
So these, there's like a big one that has
connects this to the top, and then there's these little ones
and so you have two of each because they are removable
and the system can be customized.
And so, there really good clasps.
(laughter)
And then this would come off,
and you have this bowl in there,
and then you would have a separate,
a separate system up here.
So I think they're really cute.
It's a great way to like have a lunchbox on the go,
especially since you can carry everything like this.
Again, this is how you would do the one system,
if you just wanted to bring this one particular one.
You would clasp this down.
(laughter)
It's really loud.
I like the system a lot, but wow you wouldn't want to be
doing this in a lunch break room
where like people are working
like ten feet away but if you're outdoors,
and you're in a place where the noise of the latches
don't really matter, then this is really actually cute.
So I'll put those together.
So once again, I have a list of all of my favorite
stainless steel containers perfect for lunch
in the comments below.
I'd love to hear what you might be using,
and what stainless steel containers you like as well.
These are again, ideal for lunch, for dinner, for kids,
