In 2000, my daughter began her schooling journey at Silkwood.
Some clever parent or teacher (goodness knows who but what a fab idea) suggested that the children could use camping tins for lunchboxes.
Almost 12 years on, here it is. It is now Ned's lunch tin.
Made of stainless steel, this tin is 14 inches in diameter and has three sections.
One tip: be sure to engrave each layer or at least label them in some way.
Individual tins have been known to go walkabout!
No need for cling wrap either.
The food stays fresh all day long and you can even put yogurt straight into the tin and it won't leak provided it stays upright.
The school provided a fridge and all the lunch tins were put straight in upon arrival at school.
I just love that my $24 investment keeps on going.
No more plastic or material lunch boxes for me.
This is a winner.
My friend Naomi now sends her daughter to her local state school with this lunchtin too.
Perhaps this trend might catch on...?
2 thoughtful sentiments from YOU!:
I love this idea, I'm going to hunt down one of those!
Hey Max, they sell them at most camping stores but one of the parents from our school owned a kitchen shop and they brought them in too. I have seen similar ones in pink at Myer but they might have been made of some kind of plastic... anyhow, a plain stainless one is fun to dress up too! Bring on the funky keyrings and stickers!
