Features of the choice of thermo-lunch boxes

In modern conditions, combining work with a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition is very difficult. Nevertheless, a person is not a robot, and must take breaks to replenish energy at work or school, and in this case, a lunch box is a necessary accessory. This container is simply irreplaceable for storing food. Modern manufacturers are constantly improving the design and characteristics of lunch boxes, trying to guess the preferences of each potential buyer. These boxes are not only handy and durable, but they can also keep your lunch hot for a long time.

We would like to draw your attention to a thermo-lunch box - a food container of a new generation that allows you to keep food warm for as long as possible, and in terms of functionality, satisfies the needs of even the most demanding customers.

Such a "box" does not take up much space, is easy to transport and, depending on the model, may have one or several departments. And it can also be suitable for solid or liquid food, have its own heating or be connected to external sources. All models have a different design - it is possible to choose an option for both adults and children.

Let's first take a look at what heated lunch boxes are.

Such a container is made of plastic, it allows you to heat up food in a matter of minutes. The model has a sealed lid with a special silicone seal to retain heat, as well as tight fittings. Mains powered, heating only takes a couple of minutes.

This container can be connected to the car's cigarette lighter using the supplied cable.This way it is possible to very quickly warm up the meal and keep the food warm.

Every parent knows how important it is to put together a healthy lunch for their child for school. Today's kids just have a hectic schedule, and everywhere there are temptations in the form of fast food, which clearly cannot be attributed to the category of proper nutrition. Thermo-lunch box for school allows you to teach your child to organized healthy eating, and a fun children's design will help you not to forget about a snack. Such containers can be not only heat-resistant, but also have several sections, and they are made of harmless materials.

The main thing is to pay attention to the inscriptions and look for marks "without BPA". And metal boxes are better to choose from stainless steel.

Such a box allows you to take with you both soups and hot dishes at the same time, and be able to keep them hot from the moment of preparation. This is just a godsend for those who simply have nowhere to reheat their food.

No one wants to have a cold lunch, so the option of heating comes first in choosing a lunch box. Not everyone has a car or a thermo-lunch box, but they want to reheat food. Then you just need to choose a container that can be put into the microwave without fear that it will explode or (from the category of tales) explode along with the oven. There are many types of isothermal containers, which do not emit harmful chemicals when you heat them up.

The insulated food container made of special plastic has double walls to keep food hot for several hours.

Most often, there are several options for raw materials for the manufacture of lunch boxes.

1. Plastic containers. They are lightweight and relatively cheap, but rather fragile. Try to buy a box from well-known manufacturers who guarantee food-safe plastic as a material, so that when heated, phthalates, which are dangerous to health, do not evolve. Plastic containers have many different "chips" - different compartments, several "floors", pull-out parts.
2. Glass thermoboxes. They are great for microwave heating and are completely safe. They do not absorb food odors, but they are heavy to transport - this is not suitable for everyone, especially in the case of children. A student can drop and break glass, and carrying it with him in a portfolio on top of all textbooks is not a joy at all.
3. Silicone containers. Silicone is an excellent non-porous material, very lightweight and relatively cheap, and retains heat well. In such thermal containers, first courses are often worn, since nothing spills thanks to the tight lid.
4. Thermoplastic polystyrene. Eco-friendly material for lunch containers, different shapes and sizes, with compartments and "bells and whistles". More often you can see on sale polystyrene disposable food boxes.

Buying a Thermo Lunch Box is never a waste of time, as having a snack box is essential to staying fit if you want to stay healthy in the rhythm of modern life. Many busy people take a break from work or study using thermo-lunch boxes.

Determine how often you plan to have a snack, where, how much food will be placed in the container, what design you would like. With all this in mind, just go shopping. Everything is very individual, but there are universal points that you should pay attention to when going shopping.

Someone can take with them only a small container, someone has a mandatory rule - to grab a full meal of several dishes in a box with a double thermos.

Most often, thermo-lunch boxes are sold with one or a couple of departments. Consider if this is right for you or if you need more. It may be more convenient for you to take several separate containers of different food with you. Then you need to look closely at thermoses, double or triple containers.

If yes, then simple containers will not work - you need to think about buying silicone options with a tight lid or thermoses.

Sometimes it is planned to carry a container with you only for a couple of sandwiches or fruit. Then there is no point in purchasing a heated box - buy a sectional model made of stainless steel. They are durable, do not absorb odors and do not weigh down the bag like glass.

Think in advance if it is possible to put a lunch box in a microwave oven, since there are boxes that are not designed for heating, but there are resistant materials that can be safely heated; if there is no microwave oven available, then buy a thermal bag, it stays warm for a couple of hours. If you have a car, then a model with a cord for connecting to a cigarette lighter will do.

Buying a thermo lunch box is not the easiest thing to do, but if you really know how to use it, then problems will come to naught. There is such a variety of excellent models on the market for all occasions, for any needs and wallet sizes. You can order your dream lunch box either online or in supermarkets or megamalls. These containers are just a lifesaver for those who are always busy. Don't risk your health by skipping meals, just take care of how you can stay full on workdays in advance.
