Soup in packed lunch

theoretica

I have been looking for a lidded bowl to take homemade soup in to heat in the microwave and haven't found anything I am happy with. Does anyone have a recommendation? I am hoping for something absolutely leakproof, but a shape and material I can take the lid off, heat up in the microwave and eat out of rather than having to wash two things.

Thanks!

They don't leak, they don't fail and if you get the right size you can eat out of it. I've had mine best part of 10 years and not had to replace one yet.

Although the link is for Lakeland I got mine in Morrisons and it was a lot cheaper, maybe only £2.50.

I love it because I can freeze the soup in it and it has a built-in steam vent in the lid for microwave re-heating at work.

You could take it warm in a small thermos, or otherwise cold in a suitably sized drinks container.
The Lock and Lock ones locking bits are easily snapped off - one broke on me on its first use, but the shop I bought it from was too far away to be worth returning it to.

Thanks - I pack my lunches the evening before and know I won't spend the time to heat it before I leave in the morning so it looks like a trip to Lakeland!

I have these, although mine have a blue lid so I might have got them from Asda.

I just use those plastic takeaway boxes, but I freeze my soup in the tubs and just take a frozen one to work - absolutely no chance of it leaking on the way, and I leave it on my desk and by lunchtime it's usually defrosted (might need an extra minute or so in the microwave depending on how thick the soup is). I do the same for pasta meals etc. Easy to stack in the freezer and it means I can cook in bulk and have more of a variety to choose from.
