Description
This is a lunch box with a stainless steel body and a silicone lid, sized for a child's packed lunch. It measures 16.5cm long, 12.5cm wide and 7.5cm tall and holds 1000ml, which is room enough for a sandwich, some fruit and a small treat side by side rather than squashed on top of one another. The steel body is silver with softly rounded corners, and the lid is printed with small, friendly illustrations: a sun, a cloud, a rainbow, a bird, a bee and a mushroom, among others.
We think it is a sensible box for the school bag or the weekend picnic, and just as handy for anyone who packs their own lunch for work. Children tend to like a lunch box they can recognise as theirs, and the little pictures on the lid give them something to point at and name. At 0.28KG it is light to carry, and the low, wide shape means everything is in view the moment the lid comes off, so small hands can find the grapes before the crusts. It looks as much at home on a picnic blanket as it does on the kitchen counter waiting to be filled.
The body is stainless steel, and stainless steel does not hold on to smells or flavours from yesterday's lunch; the lid is silicone, which is soft and flexible enough to ease on and off the rim. It goes in the dishwasher, so clearing up after school is quick. It does not go in the microwave or the oven, so tip anything you want warmed onto a plate first. For a tidy lunch, line the base with baking paper or a napkin to keep a sandwich apart from juicier fruit, and slip a fork and spoon in the bag alongside it.
