Good Housekeeping Review: 3 Better Lunch Boxes
Saturday, August 18, 2012
Most children take lunch from home to school every day. My own packed lunch usually contained a turkey sandwich, juice box, pretzels, and a cheery note from mom. That's why I was surprised to hear that when the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) tested lunchboxes last August, they found that packing a lunch with perishable items like cold cuts could pose a safety risk. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) says that food can be unrefrigerated (above 40°) for two hours and still be okay to eat. None of the lunch boxes tested at GHRI was able to keep a typical lunch cold for longer than two hours, even with two small freezer packs tucked in. While this might not be problematic for kids who eat within four hours of getting on the bus, those who leave the house at 7 could be eating lunch at noon or even one o'clock, which is 5 or 6 hours later. Turns out filling a lunchbox with items that don't require refrigeration is the best option for eating a safe lunch. GHRI has some good advice on what to pack. Read More

Contain This Makes The Perfect Sandwich
How many of you has skipped taking a sandwich in your lunchbox because you know the sandwich will be soggy by the time you get to eat it? I know I have many times. The Perfect Sandwich from Contain This!is the perfect solution to this issue. The Perfect Sandwich is "A sandwich container that separates the wet from the dry ingredients while keeping the contents chilled and protected."
Here is a description of Contain This! Perfect Sandwich from the package:
Perfect Sandwich is an innovative wet-dry solution designed to solve the age old problem of the soggy sandwich. By separating fresh ingredients such as meats, lettuce, tomatoes, etc, in a sealed, watertight compartment and away from the bread until mealtime, you get a Perfect Sandwich every time.
Have a sandwich that doesn't require you to keep the bread separate for the contents? No problem! Simply push down the FLEXtech divider and the entire sandwich fits into the compartment while still being kept cool and fresh until mealtime.
How do I use Perfect Sandwich?
1. Add PerfectCHILL cool pack from the freezer to the bottom section, put the wet ingredients on top.
2. Pop-up the rubber FLEXtech divider to allow room for the fresh ingredients, or push the divider down to hold a full sandwich.
3. Close the middle divider to seal in the wet ingredients, then place bread on the dry top
4. Close entire container and secure the latch creating a water-tight seal.
5. Enjoy a cool, dry, fresh sandwich every time. Just perfect!
For condiment users--Contain This! recommends spreading the condiment on the bread before placing the bread in the dry container (their research shows that it is the wet ingredients, not the condiments, that make the bread soggy).
The Perfect Sandwich is BPA and phthalate free and is top rack dishwasher safe (except the PerfectCHILL, which requires handwashing). It contains stainless steel hinges, so it is not microwave safe. Test have shown the PerfectCHILL keeps contents under 40 degrees for 5 hours and under room temperature for up to 8 hours.
I love the Perfect Sandwich. It is so useful when you or your child packs a lunch. My child is only 5, so I send pre-assembled sandwiches in his lunchbox, but I love that the PerfectCHILL keeps the sandwich nice and cool. For myself, I love that I can pack my favorite sandwich with all the wet and dry parts and assemble it when I am ready to eat and all the ingredients still taste and feel fresh!. It is well constructed and I also like that it has a hinged design (except for the PerfectCHILL) so I don't have to worry about loosing a part or having to search for the lid.
The Perfect Sandwich is a perfect way to keep the sandwich in your lunchbox fresh and non-soggy, just perfect for your meal.
Thank you to Contain This for my sample used in this review, opinions are honest. Review by Michelle.
