The seal takes on the smell of last week, the hinge cracks, and by month four it is a container you use for screws instead of food.

It is the food grade stainless used for commercial kitchens, it does not hold odours or stain from turmeric and tomato, and it does not leach at microwave temperatures the way a soft plastic does. The compartments mean rice, protein and vegetables arrive as three separate things rather than one mixed thing, which is the difference between a lunch you look forward to and one you eat standing up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical details are the ones you notice daily: a gasket that comes out for cleaning so the channel does not go black, a lid that presses flat so the box stacks, and a set option that includes the cutlery so nothing rattles loose.

Modern microwave safe steel designs rely on the geometry and thickness of the body. If your microwave manual forbids all metal, use a glass dish for reheating and keep this for carrying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the seal leak if it tips over in a bag?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eThe gasket is designed to hold when the lid is pressed down fully, and it will survive a bag that tips. It is leakproof rather than pressure proof, so do not put soup in the compartment and then drop the bag. For liquids, keep the box upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I stop the gasket going mouldy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eTake it out and wash it separately every time, and let both the gasket and the channel dry fully before reassembling.

It is a lunch box rather than a meal prep container for a full day of food. If you eat a large lunch, the three grid version in a set is the better choice, since the extra compartment takes the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it stain from curry or tomato?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eNo. 304 stainless does not absorb colour the way plastic does, which is the main reason to pay for steel. Wash it the same day and it will look the same in a year. A soft sponge is enough; abrasive pads will dull the finish over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can children open it safely?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;\"\u003eThe lid needs a firm press to seal and a firm lift to open, which most children over six manage.
