These containers will leak if you put steaming hot foods or liquids in it with the lid . I let it cool down and reheat in microwave and saves on leaking. Hope this helps

I think they would probably be OK. You need to ensure the hot pack is HOT. You would probably do well to place paper towels under and between layers of the sandwiches.

Yes, one of the nice points to this is that you can indeed store both hot and cold food items without causing an issue for either. Hot stays hot. Cold stays cold. It's a great product.

Yes, microwave and hot liquid safe! I still have these and I bought them over a year ago!

It totally works for that as well! I put sandwiches, rice, yogurt and it seals the food in its compartment. There is no leaking whatsoever. However, I only put food in that doesn't need warming or heating up as I prep lunches the night before and put in fridge.

I use them for school lunches and they are super for casseroles or burgers etc... They do keep the food nice and hot.

im not sure about schools rules about what you can bring for lunch. beyond that you may use these at your own discretion.

Rice keeps for years with no deterioration without refrigeration. My partner is Indonesian and we eat rice every day. Often buy up to 30 pounds on Amazon and store in a cupboard in our garage where it is relatively cool and dry. It should not be stored where is will absorb moisture.

I do not believe it is a problem as the directions do not mention anything about not storing in hot places.

Yes. You can also check their website "These lightweight storage containers are freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe (oven use is not recommended)."

yes. it seems I can store just about anything in these. and it preserves the food item much longer than just a Ziploc or wrap .. I use mine all the time

Yes. I use them in the oven, microwave, & to carry lunch to work. However, I have never kept the tops on while they were in the oven or microwave. I love these containers. You can have liquids in them, turn them upside down, & nothing leaks out. I have had this set for about a 1.5yrs & will probably be ordering a new set just to have lots of different shapes & sizes. I highly recommend them. When I take them to work my co-workers want to take them for themselves.

Check tsa.gov website for specific regulations. I believe it's ok as long as the lunchbox is frozen, not a thawed liquid state. Hope this info helps. :)

Yes. They don't seal tightly unless something hot is inside it. But beware, they can leak. Tried using it to keep lunch warm but knocked it over inside lunch bag. What a mess. Still love the containers, though for when we're at a potluck.

I bought them for in-house luncheons at work. We have not used them for hot food, but for sandwiches, etc. They are stury and attractive.

My husband uses this for lunch. He leaves it in his lunchbox to stablize it.
