Can this item be used in a lunch box? Will be staying in a hotel for several days and taking sack lunches.

Yes. The ice bag does not "sweat" or leak. It keeps stuff cold for about 3-5 hours.

I don't know why not. When the ice melts it will stay inside the icepack and not get the food wet.

Yes and the best way to keep them together is to use the cold pack in between them. For some reason the lunch blox seem to snap together better into the cold pack than another lunch blox container.

Not 100% sure but my guess is that it would be a tight squeeze if you keep the smaller containers in the "laptop" box. It didn't fit well in a Lands End lunch bag.

Nope! This is a Japanese plastic one, with an inner seal, but it is not watertight, and it needs a lunch box band (think thick rubber band) to keep it closed. The regular Japanese lunchboxes are all meant to be eaten at room temperature. If you really want something that's hot, you need a thermal lunch jar, which Amazon sells a few different versions.

No. You can't even put it in your suitcase. Hotels would be smart to have them in their establishments for travelers to use.

No, it is not made for that. It sits securely on top when cooking in the microwave but the silicone is soft and pliable and doesn't form a spillproof seal. You would not want to carry food in it in a lunch bag or box.

I don't know about in a lunch box. I have four of these total (three year old twins), they get used all the time and the only time I have ever seen them leak was when my son shoved the mouth piece down into the thermos. They have been closed and thrown on the car floor and nothing leaked out.

I take broccoli, celery, grapes, etc in my lunch almost every day and never use a fridge. If you use one or several ice packs you shouldn't have a problem. I recommend the "lunch box" brand of containers. They fit in here perfectly.

I use this in my daughter's lunch box and nothing in there needs to stay really cold. She eats only a few hours after it is packed. I can tell you that it is not still cold when she gets home about eight hours later. If these were used with the lunch bags that go in the freezer (which don't even require a cold pack) I have no doubt that everything inside would remain cold all day!

If the pint fits within the container, I don't think here should not be a problem. I have not tried it personally but since the container is made to keep ice cream frozen it should work in the freezer or keep the ice cream frozen longer for picnics. :-)

Yes they would hold a sandwich but we no longer use it for that because it gets squashed in his lunch box. We use it mostly for chips and other lunch box items.

Yes it will leak into other compartments. Also any wet fruit will make dry compartments wet. I am yet to find a lunchbox that is truly watertight. Another problem with this lunchbox is that none of the compartments will hold a whole sandwich. Other than that I love the lunchbox because it is stainless steel instead of plastic.

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

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

No. I use a regular thermos lunch box and put soup in this jar with a large spork, sandwich, soda, and a couple of candy bars.

I wouldn't put liquids inside. I haven't... i think you could if you have a sturdy lunch box and you know it won't fall over. The lid can come off easily though. I would not put anything liquid in it in my child's lunchbox, that's for sure!

Yes, you can freeze meals in this lunchbox, but the lid must be removed before putting in microwave.Be sure to see dimensions in all images. The 3pc set will fit in certain 'soft' style lunch bags, whereas the 4pc may not.
