Healthy Kitchenware review and giveaway
I pack lunches for myself and my son CJ every day, and sometimes hubby too. Whatever I make usually gets packaged in plastic bags or containers. I accepted the opportunity to review the Healthy Kitchenware Stainless Lunch Carrier With Sauce Container because I feel it is important we all try to do more to be green.
From the website – “When Cynthia was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2005, she had never heard of the word. Her research pointed to the importance of nutrition and environment as the very important areas to monitor to fight this disease. When reading about endometriosis, Cynthia realized she had to change her lifestyle. She decided to get rid of all the plastic in her kitchen that came in contact with her food. This proved to be a big project, much easier said than done. The reason behind getting rid of the plastic is that plasticizers which make plastics malleable potentially leach hazardous chemicals onto food and drink. Some of these chemicals act like hormones in our body, which leads to disease. While looking to make this change by changing all her refrigerator containers to glass and all plastic coated pots and pans to stainless steel or enameled cast iron products, she realized there is no place that offers all the items required. This is how Healthy Kitchenware was born! We hope we can help you make this change in your lifestyle a little easier or simply offer you environmentally friendly products for their quality, beauty and simplicity.”
The stainless lunch carrier is rectangularly shaped and measures 6.4″ long x 4.92″ wide x 2.32″ high. The carrier comes with a smaller stainless container that nests inside for storage. Both of the containers are dishwasher safe. The larger container has a stainless steel lid that closes with metal clasps. The smaller container has a plastic lid. The set is dishwasher safe.
The container is visually appealing. It is just the right size for packaging my son’s school lunch. CJ has Celiac disease so he can’t eat most of the foods that you and I can. It’s not unusual for him to have a cold lunch consisting of meats and vegetables. The stainless steel would help keep the food colder than plastic bags or containers. It will probably also wear better in the long run, and it won’t stain or get odors like plastic does. The large container by itself is big enough to hold a nice sized serving of food for an adult, such as pasta, rice, whatever you eat. I was able to fit a sandwich in it. The smaller container is great for holding salad dressing. In our house we like fruit cocktail and often buy the big can, which could be broken down into smaller servings and brought to school or work in the small container. It would also work for pudding or jello.
The stainless lunch carrier sells for $15.99. It’s available for purchase through the Healthy Kitchenware site. This is just right for anyone looking for a greener way to pack their own lunch or trying to limit the amount of contact their food has with plastic.

I like the way it looks, that it closes securely and that it is dishwasher safe. I pack lunch everyday for my 2 daughters and my husband. It would also be nice not to have to buy so many plastic bags for lunches.
I love that its not plastic, that is hard to find.
I love that its reusable. I am always looking for easy, reusable ways to take my lunch to work! Thanks!
I really like this. Easy to clean, environmentally friendly, and germ free way to pack food. I would love to win this for hubby to take his lunch to work.

I really love the idea of packing lunches in non plastic containers. That is my favorite aspect of the product, but since it is the most obvious I’ll share what else I like. I really love that it could keep food colder than plastic would, I love that it is so portable. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I like that it is dishwasher safe and that it is reusable. I would get a lot of use from this. Thanks for the giveaway!
#1 that i like is that i learned something i did not know…plasticizers which make plastics malleable potentially leach hazardous chemicals onto food and drink. Some of these chemicals act like hormones in our body, which leads to disease. ;0
and i call myself half educated on the crap out there to harm us..omg!i wonder sometimes why the government allows such things???????knowing it…..
anyway..i like the way it looks and that it is stainless steel.I try to buy a lot os ss for my house…(and it cleans so easy and last so long)
enter me please..merry christmas

Well for goodness sakes! No wonder you are stressed with all you deal with. I didn’t know you had a child with Celiac’s disease. That is something that takes hard work and planning to deal with. A friend has that. His wife is like an encyclopedia with information on what he can and cannot eat.
@Karen – You’d think it was simple, no wheat, rye or barley products. But that means it hides in other things like modified food starch. It’s really expensive.
I love that it is dishwasher safe AND closes tightly! Thanks for the chance!
