Can anyone recommend a lunchbox?

[Kermit power]

Evening all,

I'd quite like to make my own healthy meals which I can take to work with me - salads stuffed full of Feta, pomegranate seeds, pine nuts and raisins and that sort of thing - but I have a couple of challenges.

1. When I'm in the office, I cycle in. It's 15 miles each way, so it needs to be relatively compact to fit in a pannier bag or on top of the pannier rack, and also has to be firmly sealed, as leakage would be a disaster!

2. We have no fridges at work, so it will need to keep the food properly cool for the 6 hours or so between leaving home and eating lunch.

Any recommendations?

Has an ice block and a little pot for dressing. Knife and fork a bit ropey as they are in 2 parts but lid latches closed.

They don't seem to do one which would provide the chilling aspect though.

I've read and even started some threads in my time but seriously!

Then again this could go down as a legendary thread :-)

Seriously, you try finding one! You'd think food containers which can stay chilled and seal up airtight would be easy to find, but they're rare as hens' teeth.

[chilistrucker]

Save 1 of the containers from a chinese takeaway and use that, stick it in a small zip up cool bag with a thin freezer pack, job done

Other pubs are available.

Made me think you needed something like a good flask - and a google turned up this....

Stupid link sorry, posting from my phone, but any good? Thermos lunch box.

Costco do one with its own ice pack and jacket. I think it's called a polar or a chilly.... Something like that. It's bright orange and grey (other colours are available I'm sure) and it has done a good job in this house.

ETA it is an arctic zone ultra.
