My baby will be eating both breakfast and lunch at daycare and this has 3 bowls (2 are the insulated ones, so 1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch and 1 uninsulated cup for a snack). This way, her teachers won't ever need to microwave anything (so not as much worry as releasing toxins from plastic) but she'll still get a hot breakfast and lunch.</p> <p>I just ordered it yesterday and haven't gotten it in yet, but it looks like it will fit in her baby backpack with her 2 straw cups. They have a lot of other styles and sizes as well....a "mini bento" thermos and a "Mr. Bento" that is bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-lunchbox-supplies#post-1838537 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:29:13 +0000 .twist. 1838537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sparkler: I use these for my lunches!!!

Another big gripe I have about metal things is that they're all round! how do these hold up in the dishwasher? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-lunchbox-supplies#post-1837344 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 14:32:38 +0000 Sparkler 1837344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my son's preschool doesn't heat food and my husband pointed out all the practicality issues with stainless steel that you did, I opted to not worry about it. I got this for the school year and am pretty pleased with it!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0078K416Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0078K416Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/show-me-your-lunchbox-supplies#post-1837303 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 14:10:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 1837303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to get rid of all plastics, so I want to move to a metal lunchbox solution for the kids. Mrs. Bee's review of the Planetbox got me thinking, but I think I want separate containers instead of one big one since I don't want them opening their lunch before lunchtime. They do morning and afternoon snack. </p> <p>I started looking into individual metal containers, but then I realized that most have solid lids so the caregivers can't tell what's in them without opening them. I don't really want to label the containers every single day... that's a lot of containers, with two kids! Maybe I could label them lunch, snack, and snack, though...</p> <p>I also want separate containers because we pack a lot of fruits, which can be runny and leak... and we also pack a lot of dinner leftovers, like pasta with sauce, and that can be quite messy as well.</p> <p>I can't help but want shiny new lunchboxes with built-in ice packs, as well! lol. We do have the cloth type lunchboxes and use regular ice packs, but they get so condensation-y that we have to put them in ziplock bags. </p> <p>So yeah!! Show me your lunch packing solutions, please!! </p>
