To-Go Ware 3-Tier Stainless Lunch Box

I really was curious about the whole Bento idea, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one--so I bought this. It is super sturdy, and I like the design. More than anything, I learned that I loved Bentos and the flexibility it gives me for meals. I can spend 16 hours on campus and have all the meals I need in one compact container. This was worth my money to help me experiment and find out that this system works well for me. However, it has some deep flaws. 1. It doesn't seal, so anything liquidy leaks. This also caused things like pasta and rice to dry out quicker--which is odd once you read my third point...but true nonetheless. 2. It's stainless steel, great for staining, hard to reheat food. I solved this by keeping paper plates on my locker. I knew about both of those before I bought it, there was one problem I didn't expect that caused me havoc. 3. I knew that this doesn't keep heat or cold well, so I kept it in the fridge so my food wouldn't spoil. However, taking this in and out of the fridge multiple times a day caused it to cool down and heat up multiple times a day. This process, combined with the steel, created condensation inside of the container (and outside, but that doesn't matter). As a result, salads, breads, and such would get soggy. I ended up buying a better bento. In conclusion, this is a great unit to buy to test the bento concept. It isn't a very good long term investment though...unless you have some creative ways to get around the sealing and condensation problems....

I'm one of the people who does way too much research before making even the smallest purchase, so in my quest for a new lunch box, I looked around for a few days before settling on this guy. I'm headed to law school in just a few weeks, so I was looking for something durable, environmentally-friendly, and (most of all) inexpensive. And so far, I'm really happy with the choice I made. Best features: * The top tin can be carried independently of the whole set for smaller lunches or snacks. * The whole unit is super-easy to clean and doesn't get stinky, impossible-to-clean stains like icky plastic. * The included sidekick container is perfect for hummus (and for dressings, I guess, if you're into that). * The shape is perfect: small enough to be crammed into a backpack. (This may not be true once the backpack is also full of books, but in that case, there's a handle.) Minor, minor drawbacks (not enough to drop the star rating, though) * The clamps are LOUD! Beware if you open this in a library - you'll get some glares. * The top tin is the only one that's liquid-tight, so you can only carry one soup at a time. This will never be a problem for me, and it's difficult to imagine it being a problem for anyone else, but if you are a soup aficionado, I guess that could be a deal-breaker. * As other reviewers noted, if the lid is on the sidekick container, it will only fit in the top tin. This is not a huge drawback - unless you want to carry a liquid AND the sidekick. None of these drawbacks, except the first, apply to me. So for my money, this is 5 stars, but for others, it could be maybe 4.

Great lunch box to pack different food items…easy to pack in a backpack!

These are fantastic. Sometimes they are challenging for little hands to get apart or put back together. They are compact, clean, pretty to look at, clean up nicely. Clips are sturdy and the fit is tight, but not tight enough for liquids. The included container does close tight enough for condiments though.

I was so excited for this tiffin, but the quality and workmanship are very poor. It arrived scuffed up and a bit dented, just handling the tiffin, the bottom would spring or pop in and out a bit. Super thin. I kept searching for tiffins to see what else there was out there, and I found Grand Trunk sells a tiffin Grand Trunk Stainless Steel Food Carrier (Zebra brand or something like that) it's sold through amazon, and I was so excited when I got it! The quality is great, 18/10 stainless steal, and thick and sturdy. The price is actually even a bit better, and the lock closure is better quality. I like the handle better too, check it out if your thinking of getting this one, it is not as good!

I purchased these to-go ware stainless lunch boxes for my daughters ages 11 and 13. I chop fruit in one tier, I put a sandwich or bread and cheese in another (my daughters favorite) and a crunchy snack or dessert in the third. My girls picked out colorful bags to carry these in and we even use cloth napkins to stay really green. At night, we pop them into the dishwasher and they are ready for a new packed lunch. The little condiment container comes in really handy for veggie dip or caramel dip for their apples. I know that we have hardly used any plastic bags this year and have gone through way less paper napkins. My daughters are thrilled with these and I feel like we're doing something good for the environment. By the way, these also make great bento boxes. I fill one tier with vinegared rice, one tier with nori and cucumbers and veggie nuggets and the last with fruit. I put some chopsticks in the bag and everyone is happy.

I really like the 3 tier carrier and carry my lunch almost daily. It's great for keeping cold lunches cool. Not so great for hot lunches. You'll need to carry a ceramic plate and have access to a microwave (or stove), if you want a hot meal--this product is not insulated. The inner canister has not worked for me from day one, however. The poorly designed closing system or lid doesn't allow for easy opening/closing. Once you've closed it, you may as well call in the cavalry! I once had about three strong young men try to help me with this little unassuming looking container. Not one of these guys could get it opened! It literally was KO for 4...RIDICULOUS! So, I no longer use the small container and happily put my yummy rice pudding or yogurt or deserts in one of the larger tier containers. I just have to use a little self control in the measuring out my serving. Admittedly, that's a much harder task then expected. Curse you small container!!!

I'm a med student and I was looking for a way to take healthy meals to school in a minimal package without having to worry about BPA or other chemicals in the Category 7 ("Other") plastics that are used in most containers. Seriously people, nobody really knows what's going to happen to all those plastic particles that scrape off every time you microwave, wash, and eat out of plastic containers. Maybe it's healthy, maybe not - why take the chance? This is an awesome stainless steel solution. It's sturdy and the top level seems reasonably waterproof. I use the top level for my Vegegarian lunch and keep a salad and oatmeal in the lower levels, allowing me to eat breakfast, lunch, and a snack while at school. It basically paid for itself in just a few ways because I wasn't buying a burrito or something at a store nearby. Healthy, economical, and just so cool. Cheers!
