Lunchbots: Review & Giveaway

Remember when this happened a few weeks ago?

Spilled soup

Yeah, me, too.

My beautiful Silky Gingered Zucchini Soup, not only on the floor but splashed under the laces of my sneakers. It was a container catastrophe.

But that doesn’t happen anymore because now I have these totally badass Lunchbots — and if you’re lucky (or smart… or both), so can you!

Why I’m Dumb & Lunchbots Are Smart

Until not too long ago, I didn’t give much thought to the containers into which I put my food. In hindsight, this was quite silly. There I was, buying grassed, pastured beef and expensive, high-quality eggs and organic kale which I cooked in coconut oil (never extra-virgin olive oil at high heat!), only to put it, willy-nilly, into cheap plastic containers. In my defense, my ratio of ‘knock containers out of the refrigerator and onto the floor’ to ‘successfully retrieve without incident’ was about 1:1. But ignoring the issues around BPA was probably not the wisest idea.

So I started paying attention, and I bought some BPA-free containers at IKEA. There were lots of ’em. And they were cheap. And they had cheerful green lids… that inconsiderately popped off at the first meeting of plastic container to tiled kitchen floor. (See Exhibit A above.)

Nom Nom Paleo has been singing the praises of Lunchbots for ages, and — as in all things — I should have taken her advice. Jackie from Lunchbots sent me a set of leak-proof containers, and it’s changed my world.

Lunchbots seem to be magical, but to get specific:
– they’re made from food-grade stainless steel so they can take foods both hot and cold
– the lids are sturdy, BPA-free plastic
– they’re virtually indestructible (as proven by my accidental, but repeated, bouncing of them on my tile floor)
– they’re reusable — seemingly forever (unlike plastic which gets discolored, pocked, stained, and misshapen)
– they’re dishwasher safe
– they’re lighter than glass and not fragile (Not fragile! Huge bonus.)

And perhaps, most importantly for me, thanks to the 4-sided, snap-on lid, these leak-proof models do not leak. At all. Ever.

What a relief!
