If you’re anything like me, you have a particular sense of what food should and shouldn’t mix on a plate and prefer items separate. Short of bringing a Thali plate to work, I thought a Tiffin box would be the next best thing.
I found one at Nature’s Emporium for $25. @MathieuLF bought a 1 layer container one for $18. You can see who is the picky one in the family.
They can hold quite a bit. It can hold at least 3 cups of lasagna in one portion. Who can eat that much, I don’t know, but it can be done. In another container I measured: 1 cup of carrots, 1/2 cup of celery, 1 cup of broccoli, and it fit perfectly together. The last container I used for a portion controlled serving of Renee’s Balsamic Vinegar dressing. I am loving this idea; it’s environmentally safe, reusable and aids my food should be separate, yet provide variety notion.
Product description:

I’m going to trust this made responsibly part, I figure if Nature’s Emporium is selling it, it must be decent, everything in the store is organic, kind of amazing really.
When I googled regarding dishwasher safe, I found a site that had the 2 layer version of this Tiffin saying it was dishwasher safe, but I figure it’s safer hand washing anyway. If you get one of these – let me know! E-mail Me!
I love how many different styles of Tiffins there are. I had no idea these things even existed until I googled environmentally friendly lunch box and the Tiffin caught my eye. It’s lightweight and easy to pack. No more carrying heavy glass containers piled up and hoping I’m not clumsy enough to drop one, this is an ideal solution for me.
