Plastic lunch boxes
If you have children, they will appreciate a plastic lunch box for its low weight and durability, so it’s no problem if it bumps around in your backpack while in the park or forest. Plastic lunch boxes are also ideal for everyday life. If you have a bag with a computer and equipment that already weighs a lot, you will appreciate the low weight of a plastic food container. One disadvantage is that it is a bit more difficult to clean, especially when it comes to fatty foods.
Because plastic lunch boxes are so cheap, you can buy many. And it gives you opportunities to simplify your everyday life. If you buy a bunch of cheap plastic lunch boxes, you can cook a big meal on Sunday, for example, which you divide into five containers. Then, every weekday morning, you can place a ready-made lunch in your bag before you leave for work. The practicality is hard to beat.
In addition to ordinary lunch boxes, Biltema has small food jars with lids, which are suitable for storing sauce or a side salad. Some of our plastic storage jars are also stackable, which means that they take up less space in the fridge or on a shelf.
Glass lunch boxes
Cook big meals such as lasagna directly in the glass container, freeze it and take it to work as a packed lunch. How is that possible? Our glass lunch boxes can withstand electric and gas-powered ovens (not the lids). By cooking directly in the glass container, you avoid unnecessary dishes and save time.
Glass lunch boxes and glass jars with lids are less resistant to impact, making them unsuitable for children’s outings, for example. However, as we have mentioned, they have several advantages. If you are looking to save time, prefer to cook in the oven, and like stylish lunch boxes, then we recommend glass containers.
