So you don't go hungry and get that energy boost you need while you're away from home."Nothing more to add.This pack contains four 250 ml lunch boxes from the Plastic Forte brand.This manufacturer is a specialist in long-lasting reusable plastic items, intended for organization and storage in the different rooms of the home.As they say, all their products intended for food are free of Bisphenol A.How to know if a plastic container is valid for food use?Regarding plastic lunch boxes, as we anticipated, we have asked Plastic Forte to find out what we should stick to as users.And the specialist has explained to us that the lunch boxes intended to come into contact with food must comply with Regulation (EU) 10/2011 of the European Commission, which establishes that the product is safe for the user.In this way, if our lunch box complies with what is designated in this regulation, it can be marked with the symbol of the cup and the fork, which means "Suitable for use in contact with food".To assess whether it is suitable or not, manufacturers subject all materials that are used to manufacture lunch boxes to migration tests.Specifically, they check what type of food can be in contact with that material and under what conditions of temperature and use so that there are no migrations of substances from plastics to food.This set contains 9 Airtight Glass Food Lunch Boxes.They all serve to freeze, bake, reheat, store and serve.They are made of premium borosilicate glass and BPA free plastic.As for the lids, they are easy to open and close as they feature four latches that have a rubber gasket that creates a strong seal to keep moisture out.The containers are airtight, waterproof and leakproof that keep food as fresh as ever.If you prefer plastic, either because glass is too heavy for public transportation, or because you're afraid the lunch boxes will break, this set from Tupperware is more than a good alternative.We already anticipated that it is not a cheap option, but it is a renowned option, veteran and well valued by users: "They do not disappoint, it is the best investment and it is, of course, for life. My mother has several for more 30 years old," says a verified user on Amazon.This pack contains three 2.3 and 4 liter XXL size containers.Is my plastic container microwaveable?This symbol indicates that a container is suitable for use in the microwave.In this case, the products are tested at a certain temperature and for a specific time (which the manufacturer must indicate), to ensure that migration does not occur.Or what is the same, the release of substances to food.For safety, these indications should not be exceeded since it is unknown how the material will respond beyond the marked limitations.Who has not ever been frustrated while putting away the cupboard?Because some are round, others square, others rectangular, large, small... And placing them often becomes a torment.That is why it is important that, from now on, we look for management systems that help us keep them under control.The easiest thing is to buy the new stackable containers to place them one inside the other (as if they were Matrioshkas), and gain space, order (and peace of mind, why not say it).A good option is this set of glass Tupperware from the Navaris brand, which includes four airtight containers whose containers are oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.If it has this symbol, it can be put in the dishwasherEasy and simple.If you have this symbol, the box in question is dishwasher safe.This lunch box is very useful for eating out, as it has compartments that separate the food and prevent it from mixing.This in turn prevents us from carrying more than one container.It is airtight thanks to its silicone lid, and also easy to open and close.It is microwave (without lid), freezer and dishwasher safe.However, and although it is free of BPA, the manufacturer recommends scrubbing the lid by hand.Withstands the cold: the symbol of "Suitable for the freezer"This symbol indicates the minimum and maximum temperature the lunch box can be subjected to, and must be accompanied by the number of degrees, positive and negative.3ºC is the minimum temperature at which a domestic refrigerator is usually.If you put this, it's fridge safe.-18ºC is the temperature at which a freezer is usually.If the lunch box is marked with this figure, we would know that it can be used for freezing.As Plastic Forte has explained to us, in the case of the freezer, the only risk that exists is the breakage of the product due to its freezing, there are no health hazards in this case.This is so because some polymers become more brittle at low temperatures and can break.To avoid this, the user should choose items with the “Freezer Safe” icon.As always, Lidl has solutions for everything.The proof is this lunch box, round and with a stainless steel interior.Ideal to take to the office and feel as if you were eating at home.Also, as it has a double-walled structure, it keeps drinks cold or hot for longer.The lid has a screw closure and the handles are collapsible to store them, taking up little space.It is available in gray and red and the set includes three units of different sizes, so each one costs €6.As for its capacity, the large container can hold approximately 1430 ml, the medium one 830 ml and the small one 420 ml.These marks indicate the type of material with which they are made.This helps, among other things, to identify them for proper recycling.As the consulted manufacturer has explained to us, each number is one of the great families of plastics, which in turn are made up of a variety of materials with different technical characteristics."In no case do they identify the quality of the product or the material, only its typology", they detail from Plastic Forte.- "As an example, we can find plastic boxes for storage and lunch boxes for food marked with the number 5. This means that both are made of polypropylene, but within this family of materials we can find a range with varieties for use with food, to withstand the cold of the freezer, for high temperatures... and other materials that are not. That is why we must look at the icons to make correct use of plastics".This means the numbers with which the lunch boxes are markedAn original product of the brand, with a capacity of one liter.Microwave, oven and dishwasher safe.You can't talk about Tupperware without talking about Tupperware.Tupperware, when it was still Earl Tupper, and shortly before its launch in 1946, used its materials to manufacture weapons of war.The brand would soon realize the versatility and convenience of plastic, and developed its first product under the Tupperware name, known as the 'Wonder Bowl', which offered unique benefits compared to traditional containers: it was lighter and less prone to break compared to glass and traditional tableware.In 1946 Earl Tupper (now Tupperware) introduced airtight lids, based on those on paint cans that prevented the contents from drying out.The brand adapted them so that they could create the same effect in food, preventing them from losing quality and flavor when stored in the fridge.The products, however, did not sell as the manufacturer hoped.That is why he removed them from the points of sale and implemented a direct sales system based on the demonstration, the so-called "Tupperware meeting".This allowed many women to start a professional career, at a time when professional opportunities for women were really scarce.In the 1960s, the manufacturer decided to diversify, generating new product lines based on organization, transportation or toys.Currently the specialist is present in more than 100 countries.Who we are Contact RSS Site map Advertising Legal notice Privacy and cookies policy Privacy PreferencesOther websites of Prensa Ibérica Media:Buscandorespuestas.com Cartoon Network Used Car BuyBest Cuore Diario Córdoba Diari de Girona Diario de Mallorca Diario de Ibiza El Día Tenerife Sport The Newspaper of Aragón The Newspaper of Catalonia The Newspaper of Spain The Newspaper Extremadura The Newspaper Mediterráneo Faro de Vigo Neomotor Formula1 Beautiful Iberempleos Information Information TV The Chronicle of Badajoz The New Spain The Opinion of A Coruña The Opinion of Malaga The Opinion of Murcia The Opinion The Mail of Zamora La Provincia Diario de Las Palmas Levante El Mercantil Valenciano Levante TV Empordà Christmas Lottery Mallorca Zeitung Neox Kidz Goya Awards Awards Oscar Regió7 Stilo Superdeporte Environment Trends21 Tucasa Travel Woman Cambalache Iberpisos
