This is how I pack hot lunches for my kids to take to school. It is a great way to stretch the buck by turning leftovers into meals that my kids get excited for because it feels like a warm hug. These stainless steel meal containers are full sized, fit to hold a meal large for an adult or 4th grader! I much prefer these to the round soup thermoses because the openings to those containers are so narrow and they don’t hold enough food to keep a first grader full. These large warm lunch containers come with a removable divider in case you want to have two separate components inside your hot lunchbox. • heat water to boiling, use a hot water kettle to save time • warm your hot lunch containers with the hot water • heat food to piping hot (it will cool to a safe warm temperature) • carefully empty the water and place hot food in your heated container Caution ⚠️ Be careful when handling hot water and hot foods! Don’t do this with any containers that are not safe for high temp / boiling 212 degrees. These stainless steel containers are what I trust with hot water and my children’s hot food. ♥️ LTKKids LTKFamily
