Plastic-free reuseable food storage containers

Container for snacks to go

Container for snacks to go

Yesterday’s post on favourite reuseable water bottles seemed pretty popular, so I thought I’d get the discussion going on reuseable food containers. I would rather not store my food in plastic containers, particularly if I intend to heat it up. I love these stainless-steel containers available at Grassroots. They come in a couple of sizes, and they are water tight thanks to the silicone lid liner and metal clamps, so you can bring your leftover saag paneer for lunch without worrying about unleashing a green, cheesy mess in your purse. Of course I have to dump the food onto a plate to microwave it, but I can handle that.

I also have a glass lunch box from Ikea, outfitted with a silicone seal to connect the lid. I love it because it’s microwaveable, but unfortunately Ikea doesn’t offer these anymore.

How do you take your lunch to work, or pack snacks to go?
