Borosil – Hot-N-Fresh Stainless Steel Insulated Lunch Box, Set of 4 (2pcs 350 ml + 2pcs 420 ml), Grey

nice product

I purchased this product, it is a good quality product. After purchasing I realised that it is too big for my use, so I requested for return, so I could purchase a smaller size. My return was duly accepted by Amazon. But no one came for pick-up. When I called Amazon CC, they said that they would do an investigation. When I called again after few days, they said we delivered product and it was not damaged so we will not take your return. I said them that I am agreed with them and in my return request I did not mention damage. I said I am returning because it is not suiting my practical requirement, I need smaller version which I will purchase after returning. Amazon CC talked rudely and didn’t listen to me. He did not gave any proper answer for my reason of request.

I have been using the Borosil hot and fresh stainless steel lunch box for a few months now and I am very pleased with its quality. The lunch box is made of stainless steel, which is durable, hygienic, and easy to clean. The containers are vacuum insulated, which keep the food hot and fresh for up to 8 hours. The lids are airtight and spill-proof, and they have four clips that secure them firmly. The lunch box also comes with a spoon, which is very handy and convenient. I often forgot to keep a spoon in my earlier lunch boxes, but this product easily addressed this issue. The lunch box also comes with a stylish and sturdy bag that has a handle and a shoulder strap. The bag has a thermal insulation that keeps the food warm or cold for a long time. The lunch box is spacious and can fit enough food for a hearty meal. It is also very easy to carry and store.

The Borosil hot and fresh stainless steel lunch box is a great product for anyone who wants a high-quality lunch box that keeps the food hot and fresh for a long time. It is worth the price and I highly recommend it.

So, I was looking for a durable, pocket-friendly, and functional lunch box. I searched an entire week for it. There are not a lot of options and whatever options I found it was not good enough for me. Since I did not have a lot of other options on the price range I just went with it. It was literally a leap of faith. I will come to the point now.

PROS:

STURDY
I mean it is really sturdy and durable. It won’t simply topple even when empty. The build quality is awesome.

Quantity
I can’t overstate this. I mean sometimes I feel if I had gone for three box one, it would have been economical. You will never be left hungry after a lunch. Given that you cook Indian lunches like rice, dal , sabji with achar, etc. Not tested for non-veg items.

HEAT RETENTION
You will feel as if it is fresh from the cooker. Specially if you are eating it after 4-5 hours of cooking, which I am. I never had the need to eat after more than 6 hours of packing but I am pretty sure it would be just as good.

LIGHTWEIGHT
I know people will be mixed about this but trust me for the price, build, and the quantity of food it is significantly lightweight. Now some people may opt for a box that looks good and elegant even if it keeps them half full. But looks was not my major concern, hunger was.

Apart from all these major points the lunch box is well delivered and does not have any damage. The parts are well finished and do not look or feel cheap. The box also has a great spoon and additional pockets on the side which have come handy more than once. The boxes themselves are of good size and volume. You can even directly eat from them but I would still prefer a plate. The boxes are good quality and sturdy. The smell from previous day’s menu does not retain itself if one is a little liberal with dish soap. However, I have not tested this with non-veg food. Finally, it is not without some cons. I would still say this box’s pros heavily outweigh the cons.

CONS

OILY RESIDUE ON COVERS
I have seen the other review saying this. This is a major issue with Indian cooking. With steel tiffins this issue is invisible but with silicone and plastics stuff oil really does not wanna come off. However, I just soak the lids for 5min or so in soapy water before actually washing them.

LID CLOSING
This is something that I get irritated about every single morning but after a month of usage I have come to terms with it, kind of. So the issue is that lid is not easy to close, probably because of poor design of grooves on the lid. It will slide beyond the locking point and if you rotate to close, it will not be a proper close. There is some amount of slip initially. You need to slowly find the right place to lock it and then rotate and seal the lid completely. I know, its frustasting. Closing a lid is the last thing anyone csres about in a lunch box. Borosil could have done a better job.

I would suggest anyone looking to eat nice hot food while at office from a tiffin with minimal maintenance, to go for it. Price could be holding back some people but you won’t regret it for sure.
