The lunch box and the insulated food jar, carried together. Cold food in one, something hot in the other, the office standard, and the pair that covers a whole day without a microwave anywhere in the story.

• Lunch box: two removable steel dividers, up to three compartments. Sandwiches, salads, meal prep.
• Insulated food jar: 14 hours hot, 19 hours cold, no preheating. Soup, stew, curry, overnight oats.

Both are 18/8 food-grade stainless steel, uncoated inside, leak-proof and dishwasher safe. The jar's outer lid is plastic. It has to grip and survive being dropped; everything your food touches is steel.

3-year warranty, and every part of both is available separately under spare parts. Both can be laser-engraved. See individual engraving.
