…continued from this article: No Food Safety Worries with Stainless Steel

LunchBots Duo

I was thrilled when NoPlastic.ca offered to send me some stainless steel food storage containers to review.  I was especially interested in three of their products.  The LunchBots Duo, pictured to the left, allows two different foods to be stored in the same container, without touching.  My son loved it when I stored cherry tomatoes on one side and some Pirate’s Booty on the other.

The second container that I was eager to use was one that was leak-proof.  If your experience has been anything like mine, you are no longer surprised to find splooge at the bottom of your kids’ lunch bag that stinks of tuna.  We have also had yogurt explosions from time to time.  This container has a seal fitted into the lid to keep liquids from escaping.

And the final container that we tried was one that would give me lots of food storage for my buck.  This one has two layers, allowing me to load it with lots of food, without worrying that the ingredients would get all smashed together.  It was also surprisingly easy to re-assemble, something that is particularly important for my son, who tends to have fairly poor fine motor skills.

Overall, I LOVE these products.  I am pleased that I can now pack waste-free lunches for my family in both cool and practical reusable containers.  I am keeping my kids healthy and am protecting our planet from extra garbage, all at the same time.

What do you use in your kids’ lunches?  I’d love to gather more cool ideas!
