Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Mr. Bento http://www.zojirushi.com/ourproducts/lunchjars/lunchjars.html Though I'm not sure if the inside containers are plastic or ceramic. I have seen one that stacked and all parts were stainless, but I'm not sure what it was called. Otherwise, I'd suggest (plastic, but I covet these so much, I think there's a stainless large mouth thermos as well) Laptop Lunchbox http://www.laptoplunches.com/products.html They have some good ideas for lunches (some easily made for veg*an diets) The Vegan Lunchbox blog or the book (also available on the laptop lunches site) I think it's veganlunchbox.blogspot.com - maybe... uses them (as well as some other bento (also plastic) boxes as well, and some great examples of things to pack, too.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Aah, I think I found the stackable stainless lunchbox - http://www.garrettwade.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT & itemID=107025 It's kind of expensive, but the stainless workshop kit seems kind of cool, too...hrm. Interesting. Maybe check out some camping gear (after looking at that site...I have some ideas now. LOL). I also found these: http://www.pearlriver.com/v2/FramesCat.asp?iGroup=333 They're very cute! (melamine as well as stainless options) more stainless: http://www.greenfeet.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=6007-00185-0000 Plastic: http://shop.iloveobento.com/collections/boxes And I found this list of re-usable ones: http://www.reusablebags.com/store/lunch-bags-lunch-boxes-c-4_20.html Off to drool at the lovely lunchboxes!
