Feature Friday: To-Go Ware Stainless Steel Food Carrier

In an effort to reduce waste our family decided to seek out other reusable products beyond reusable bags and coffee mugs. We discovered the To-Go Ware Bamboo Utensil Sets to eliminate the use of plastic forks which occasionally come into our lives when we are on the go. We fell in love with the utensil sets and became curious about the Stainless Steel Food Carriers known as Tiffins that To-Go Ware also makes.



The Tiffin is a stainless steel food carrier that is reusable, light weight, and so convenient to use. These are great for taking lunch to school or work, taking to a restaurant to use as a doggie bag, picnics, hikes, camping, or just general food storage.




The Tiffins are available in a two tier and three tier which allows you to bring different foods without mixing them up. We also have a recycled cotton carrier available to allow you to throw the Tiffin over your shoulder for easy transportation.




Our family was eager to try out our new Tiffin so we headed out to our favorite nature trail. It was so light weight and easy to carry that our 5 year old carried it most of the way on our hike. When we arrived at our picnic spot we were all excited to dig into our special snack. It was such a treat to break out of the traditional hiking snacks of granola bars (with wasteful individual wrappers) and plastic baggies full of nuts. On this day we shared in on a fresh salad, oranges, pistachios, and almonds. There was not only no waste, but we actually were able to bring along healthier and tastier snacks. The To-Go Ware Sidekick even allows you to bring salad dressing in its own little carrier.



The Tiffin was an immediate hit with our family. I can see many hikes, picnic, and camping trips ahead of us with spring just around the corner. We can't wait to take our Tiffin with us everywhere.

  1. We love these stainless steel carriers - we use them all the time for picnicking and on the rare occasion we eat out, for any leftovers. They are fun to use and my son (who has special needs) loves that everything is separate and can be lined up and 'sorted.'
    I love your carrier!

  7. I used to have something like that years ago. I mean years! I wonder where it went--I used the look and use of it so much!

  8. My mom gave every member of our family a three tiered To Go Ware tiffin for back to school this year. I pack 5 of these almost every day, and we love our lunchboxes. Even my one year old has her own. I love stacking and lining them up on the counter each morning, and I love throwing them in the dishwasher to get them clean. I felt bad about the way conventional kid's lunchboxes looked and SMELLED after a while. They were essentially disposable. I'd been meaning to write about them in your one small change blog. I've got another change to write about there as well. I've stopped buying laundry detergent, but I'll have to save that one for a child free moment.
