How many times at work I wanted hot soup or homemade potatoes with a juicy cutlet, but I had to drink regular coffee and eat a cold sandwich! Today, stores are filled with a variety of utensils that will keep your food hot and delicious.

Food containers can be disposable or reusable, plastic or metal coated. They are intended for food products of different categories: ice cream, confectionery, vegetables, fruits and berries, mushrooms, fish and seafood, semi-finished products from meat and poultry, salads, quail and chicken eggs, fast food. You can even marinate meat in them.

Depending on the destination, the food container has different sizes and volumes. The coating can be either transparent or tinted. For convenience, food containers are sold in a set, where several packages of various sizes are offered. You can also purchase an additional fork and spoon. The lid of some containers is removable, while others are joint. It must be tight and have good clamping properties to prevent involuntary opening.

Food containers can keep food hot for up to 12 hours, so you don't have to worry about food getting cold or wasted. High-quality packaging is made of durable environmentally friendly materials that are impact-resistant, moisture- and vapor-tight, withstand temperature extremes from -25 to +95 degrees. Food containers must fully protect food from exposure to chemicals, germs and bacteria.

For a full meal, there are containers with several compartments, you can put salad, side dish and main course in them. For liquid dishes, vacuum options in the form of tall mugs with wide edges are best suited. They are very handy and prevent liquid from spilling, and they also have a screw-on lid that can also be used as a small soup bowl.

Food containers must have the following characteristics:

- they can freeze food;

- Microwaveable;

- dishwasher safe;

- keep food for a long time;

- differ in convenience and lightness;

- do not add foreign taste and smell to products;

- have a strong latch or lid;

- do not leak;

- not subject to deformation.

If food containers come in one set, they should fit inside each other, while saving space both in the kitchen at home and on the road, as well as at work.

The kit includes a thermos for food with containers, which is useful for both drinks and hot soups. The coating of the inner part must be made of stainless steel and maintain the original temperature of the products inside for a long time. The outer coating must be shockproof and durable. Also in the set there may be a special case for carrying a thermos and containers. The thermos can be from 0.4 liters up to several liters.

In any case, the choice of the best option is up to you, but do not forget that a set of containers can always come in handy.
