All about car lunch boxes
Today, many people take homemade food with them on the road or to work using a food container. Of course, in the office, you can easily warm up your lunch with a microwave. And what about those who spend most of their time on the road behind the wheel? They should pay attention to a special heated lunch box, which is powered by a cigarette lighter.
Peculiarities
Each person should eat right, as this is the key to his health. Food should not only be tasty, but also healthy. You can eat tasty and healthy even outside the home. Therefore, more and more often, modern people refuse snacks in roadside cafes and take food with them. Of course, there is no special device for warming up food in the car, and sometimes you have to eat an already cooled meal.
But the situation is easy to change if you buy a special lunch box for your car. What is this container?
A car lunch box is a compact and practical electric container that has one or more compartments for storing food. A special heating element is installed inside the main body, so that lunch can be heated directly in the car by connecting the container to the cigarette lighter.
As a rule, it takes no more than 15-20 minutes to warm up food on average.
It all depends on the volume of the container and on the features of a particular model. It is very convenient to use such a lunch box on the road. Since the container is sealed, you can take with you on the road not only main dishes and salads, but also soups. Often, many models have small removable compartments that are convenient to use for storing salad and removing them from the container during heating.
Selection rules
In order to purchase a high-quality and reliable container, you should choose a product according to all the rules. The model you choose must be made of food safe plastic... The manufacturer must indicate this information on the product. Besides, the manufacturer must indicate that the container will be powered by a cigarette lighter with an operating voltage of 12 V.
Pay attention to the volume of the lunch box. As a rule, products are in great demand, the volume of which is 1.5 liters.
It is very important that the container is equipped with several compartments for convenient storage of food.
Usually in a lunch box there are two compartments in the main bowl that cannot be removed. Some models have a third removable compartment, which is convenient to use for storing salad. Also, pay attention to the fact that the set includes plastic cutlery that is easily attached to the lid and does not come into contact with food at all.
Remember that the lid of the container must be airtight, otherwise you will not be able to take soup with you... Not all models have a rubber or silicone seal on the lid to ensure a tight seal.
The kit should always include detachable cord... Pay attention to the length of the cord. If it is very short, it will be inconvenient to reheat food.
In addition, almost all car models work not only from the cigarette lighter, but also from the network, which is very convenient.
