A good thermo lunch box makes everyday life a little easier. It keeps food appetising, so you or your child can look forward to the break. At Økofamily, you’ll find a carefully selected range of insulated lunch boxes, bowls and containers that maintain temperature for longer and minimise spills in your bag. Whether you’re looking for a compact thermal box for yoghurt and fruit, or a spacious option for stews, pasta salad and dinner leftovers, you’ll find a model to fit your routine. Our collection includes everything from lightweight options for kids to durable solutions for study, office and travel – all with a focus on a good fit in the school bag, leak-proof lids and easy cleaning. The result is more calm in both the morning routine and the lunch break, because the food stays tasty and securely packed. Explore the range here and choose the thermal lunch box that suits your needs – giving meals a well-deserved upgrade that lasts from the first bite to the last spoonful.
The selection spans from small insulated jars for snacks and dips, to larger bowls and containers with plenty of height for soups, stews and noodles. Many models feature double walls and tight-fitting lids with silicone seals, so you can bring both liquid and creamy dishes without worry. Choose classic stainless steel for a lightweight and durable solution, or versions with a soft-touch exterior for a more comfortable grip. Several thermal lunch boxes have a wide opening, making it easier to eat directly from the container and to clean it afterwards. Looking for sets? Combine different sizes for more everyday flexibility – one for the warm, one for the crunchy, and maybe an extra for snacks. We also carry practical accessories like cutlery and silicone bags to help keep everything organised in your bag.
A thermal lunch box for children should be easy to handle with small hands, stay sealed in the school bag and allow for variety. Here you’ll find models that combine low weight with lids that are easy to twist or click on. A compact thermal container is perfect for fridge porridge, yoghurt and fruit pieces, while a medium size gives room for warm leftovers, small meatballs or pasta salad. Choose a container with a wide opening if it’s meant for dishes eaten with a spoon – it also makes cleaning easier for both child and adult. Pair it with a water bottle or thermos in the same bag, so the whole lunch is ready to unpack. Tip: Add a small ice pack if you include crisp veggies or fruit. That way they stay fresh while the warm food keeps its temperature.
For commuters, students or anyone who enjoys meals on-the-go, a thermal lunch box is a practical companion. Choose a spacious model for full portions – such as stews, curry, chili, soup or rice with toppings – and a smaller one for salad, dressing and snacks on the side. Screw-on or click lids ensure a secure seal, and a non-slip base makes it more stable to eat directly from the container. Prefer modular meals? Look for thermal lunch boxes that fit in a regular bag alongside a flat lunch box, so you can combine hot and cold without compromise. For longer days, a thermos is a perfect companion, letting you carry both hot meals and hot drinks – or ice water. With a complete thermal solution, you skip the cafeteria line and gain the freedom to eat whenever it suits you.
We select thermal lunch boxes based on quality, function and everyday needs: they should be durable, intuitive to use and easy to clean. At our shop you get honest product information, so you can choose confidently – whether it’s for kindergarten, school, the office desk or hiking trips. We’re happy to share knowledge about materials, care and tips to get the most out of your thermal lunch box, and you can always find guides and inspiration on our site. And we make it easy to get started:
Although tests vary, they usually look at the same qualities: solid insulation, leak-proof lids, durable construction and easy cleaning. Look for double-walled construction, seals of good quality and lid types that are intuitive to open and close – especially if children will use them. A good thermal lunch box also has an opening that matches the contents: wide for stews and soups, narrower for snacks and dips. Surfaces that don’t absorb taste or odour are another plus for daily use. Our product descriptions highlight these points so you can compare based on what matters most in practice.
It depends on model, contents and pre-heating/cooling. As a rule of thumb, preheat by filling with boiling water for a few minutes, or pre-cool with ice water. A tight lid and a full container (less air) keep temperatures longer. In practice, a good thermal lunch box keeps meals appetising for several hours – perfect for lunchtime – and cold snacks crisp longer.
Yes, many thermal lunch boxes are suitable for liquids when they have a proper seal and tight lid. Don’t fill it completely to the top; leave a small gap. Make sure the seal is in place and the threads are clean. After filling, you can turn it gently upside down to check for leaks before packing it.
Rinse it soon after use so food doesn’t stick. Most stainless steel bowls are dishwasher-safe, but lids and seals often last longer with hand washing. Use a soft bottle brush and mild detergents. Let all parts dry completely before reassembling. To remove odour, a mix of warm water and a little baking soda can help. Store it open when not in use.
