SANKRO Lunch Box (BPA Free) Bento Box – Plastic – Lunch Box Food Work – Tupperware – 3 Compartments with Cutlery Included (Blue)

Product Information

Earl Tupper, a pioneer in the polyethylene industry, began making plastic housewares in 1938. His single manufacturing and distributing company in Massachusetts was small and modest, but Tupper’s ideas were large and bold. By 1945, he had patented and put on the market an airtight seal for plastic containers. A good lunch box should be made of insulating materials, and it should also be durable and easy to clean. If it has compartments, consider the size and what foods and drinks it accommodates. You also should factor in whether these compartments are necessary for you or your child.

Sometimes people use the word “tupperware” to reference any kind of reusable plastic food container in the kitchen. But “Tupperware” (capital T) is actually the brand name for a very specific line of plastic kitchen items. This post specifically discusses Tupperware products, but the basic principles generally apply to all plastic food containers. Now that you know Tupperware products made after 2010 are BPA-free, you might still wonder; whether you can put Tupperware in the microwave or not. For one, you might still be worried if the plastic can leach into your food and whether the plastic would melt in the microwave. The answer to these questions depends on what type of Tupperware product you are using. There are different Tupperware products in the market, and despite the common notion, not all of them are microwave safe.

The last thing you want is for your lunch to spoil before you have a chance to eat it. That's why it's important to choose a Tupperware lunch box with good insulation. Look for insulated lunch boxes that are made of BPA-free materials for maximum food safety. If you're looking for even better insulation, you can also invest in a thermos-style container with a lid. That way, you can keep your food hot or cold for hours. Design The introduction of products nearly every 60 days has always played an important part in Tupperware’s growth, as have special promotions designed to support the dealer, manager and distributor organization in its sales efforts. The entire container is easy to close and leakproof, so you won't have to worry about it spilling in your bag. And although it comes with a matching plastic fork, we found it to be too small for adult hands (not a problem if you're using the bento box for kids' lunches). It's available in several colors as well as a slightly smaller model that includes a knife, fork, and additional round compartment for sauces or dips. An insulated Thermos is the best way to tote hot soup, stew, or chili to work, school, and beyond, and this one lived up to its insulation claims during testing (it promises to keep your food hot for five hours or cold for seven). This size holds 10 ounces or 1.25 cups of food for the perfect midday portion, so it's lightweight and comfortable for small hands to hold. Additionally, it has a simple twist-off lid that’s easy for kids to maneuver and a large mouth that’s easy to fill, eat from, and clean. This whole discussion boils down to this: you can put Tupperware in the microwave if it is marked with a microwave safe symbol. And as long as you are using newer Tupperware products, you can rest assured you are safe from BPA exposure.

However, this was a case where the customer had to be shown how to use the product properly. It was a simple operation, but one which had to he demonstrated for greatest effectiveness. There is a third element that Tupperware uses for some products, and that is polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is used in bottles, sippy cups, and plastic cutlery. However, this element is responsible for leaching BPA or Bisphenol A, also known as BPA, into foods. And if the name BPA is ringing a warning bell in your mind, read on to the next section. Tupperware and BPA Safety This organization has been responsible for a great part of Tupperware’s success through understanding its customers, the local traditions which govern the marketplace and the effect of the economy on family budgets.This budget-conscious bento box keeps your lunch organized with three separate compartments and an included fork that attaches to notches inside the container. It's safe to put in the microwave and freezer (but not the dishwasher), and it's leakproof. The main section fits larger entree items, while the two smaller compartments are perfect for sides or desserts. We tested it out with an adult portion of spaghetti and meatballs, a large slice of garlic bread, and a side of vegetables—all of which fit comfortably. In total, it fits about 38 ounces.
