Does the smaller container "have" to be packed in one of the larger ones? Or can it be left out, it appers it has it's own lid.

The "pod" will fit in the middle of the upper container with it's cover on, but not on the ends. It will fit anywhere without the cover. The pod can be used by itself but remember it is not leakproof. Sadly all the containers had problems with keeping their tops on or ease of removal and covering.

The smaller container has its own lid so it doesn't have to be packed in the larger ones!

It can be used separately, both the upper portion of the bento box and the sidekick( small inset container). Just remember these are not water tight, so if using for yougurt, watermelon, etc, use a lunch bag that keeps them upright. I live the scout "doggie bag". It's so easy to clean...

There are three containers altogether: two that are almost the same size and a very small one. The smallest one can be left out, but you still have to have the two that are almost the same size stacked, or the lid will not fit correctly.

The lid fits into a groove at the top of the jar. It fits well and stays put until lifted off. The only problem we've had is that it's hard to keep it filled.---JOHN

It all depends on the brand's container size and style. I've put both Chobani mini (3.5 oz) and Stonyfield regular (6 oz) containers into the larger one with no problem.

The container comes off the base but it's more practical to fill it from the top. If you fill it from the bottom, with the lid on, you have to flip it over to put it back on the base.

No container is supplied with it. I pack it inside a shoe to protect it but it also stays rolled up in a backpack without damage.

Does the handle fold into the lid so something can be put on top of this container, or is it big enough that you don't think you'd stack anything on it anyway?

Unfortunately, the container is not removable, however the lid can be taken off.

Yes, the lid is hinged at the back of the container and does not come completely off of the top. Hope this helps.

Depends on the vendor... I bought one directly from Bodum and has no extra lid, but I bought another from "The Storage Store" (through amazon) and had both lids. Is matter of lucky I think... :D

Yes, Mam. They are two completely separate containers. Their lids, however, are hinged, and do not completely come off. If they do come off, you've broken it =)

The largest container's lid closes tightly on our set, as secure as the smaller containers. I just got off my lazy butt and double-checked. So I'd say you have a legitimate complaint. BTW, we love our set. We love how it stacks together so slimly, and would heartily recommend it to others - as long as the lid to the largest container fit as well as our does.

Stacey, Each daily pill container has four separate compartments. Each compartment has it own lid. It works well for us. JimG

Yes, you are not required to put anything in the bottom, but you do need to keep the bottom on. The bottom is detachable for easy discard and clean up, just make sure there is nothing left inthe container before you do.

Yes I think so except there is no lid. This container holds quite a bit more than I expected it would.

Yes the "Lid" is much bigger than any individual bowl inside. It works great to combine ingredients. You could use the main thermos contaniner but it would be really deep and hard to get food out of and clean afterward. I would definitely use the lid. By the way I love this product for my lunches.

No. It's deeper, and as you noticed, has a lid. I bought it because of the depth. My guess is that it holds at least twice as much as the one in the set. Hope this helps. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Its not really made to be kept in there, but I use mine as a container. So, yes its also a container where you can keep it organized.
