What are the best options? I always worry a clipped seal may pop open in my bag on the way to work.

Thought about a screw top one but can't really find any

I have a Sistema one & it leaks a bit, so I put it in a sealed bag. What about this one?

Or cheaper at Lakeland:

Flask is the obvious one I suppose, but ideally I'd be able to store, freeze, heat and eat from the same container..

My Mrs takes one of these to work and microwaves it in the office

If you're worried about a clip-it coming open just put an elastic band round it, I always do that for carrying coffee on bike trips and never had one come open.

I've got a Sistema as refered to above , and sold by Lakeland.... I got mine from TK Maxx...

On the whole pretty good, it does slightly leak from the vent (not a lot), so just pop it in a plastic bag as a secondary measure and try and keep upright ...... we seem to have perfected carrying a takeaway coffee over the last 10 years, so soup with a closed lid shouldn't be beyond us hehe

I've also got the Sistema cup that also leaks so I also pop it in a plastic bag for travelling and try to keep it upright smile

I used to use a cheap Asda screw top storage beaker for transporting milk and that didn't leak - I didn't ever put it in the microwave though, I'm not sure it would have coped well with heating and freezing.

It would be good to find a better version of the Sistema cup that doesn't leak.
