Lunch Boxes Buying Advice

A good lunch box keeps food in place and fits your bag. This page is buying advice. We add specific product picks only after reading the maker's own page.

Start with what you need

School. Look for a secure lid, easy-to-open latches and a size that fits the bag.
Office. Insulated boxes or boxes with several containers suit hot meals and rotis.
Travel. Leak-proof lids and a sturdy build matter more on the move.
Hot or cold food. Insulated boxes may keep food warm for a while. Check what the maker claims and what buyers report.

Buying guide

Leak-proofing. Look for sealing rings and tight locks, and read what buyers say.
Compartments. Separate compartments keep dry and wet food apart.
Material. Check whether the box is steel, plastic or glass, and how heavy it is.

Common questions

Stainless steel or plastic lunch box?

Steel is durable and easy to keep clean. Plastic is lighter but may stain or hold smells.

Can I microwave a lunch box?

Only if the maker says it is microwave-safe. Steel boxes should not go in the microwave.
