With the Western influence this has become out of fashion and people take just one compartment boxes. There are also 5 or 6 or 7 tiffin carriers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378036605785239929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-73855861166380037602007-04-29T15:40:00.000-07:002007-04-29T15:40:00.000-07:00I LOVE my (To-Go Ware) tiffin!

The plastic one had a rubber (?) seal on each lid so that when you compress them together to latch the handle thingy, it made it slosh proof. I bought it when we went back home to Indonesia a few years back. Set me back less than $2USD.

I graduated high school in 2006, and was vegan for two of my four years in high school. My lunches were usually leftover wokked veggies and rice, which are delicious, but leave very little to the imagination. <BR/><BR/>I love what you are doing, and enjoy every post, even though I'm doing that raw food thing now. I think the way you utilize every traditional method of cooking, paired with the unlimited ways to "veganize" food, touched with the playful asthetics you have to include in a child's life is making lots of people reconsider veganism. <BR/>You made my week! <BR/>-LucyLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704413249929344334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-87783786237613250022007-03-23T06:41:00.000-07:002007-03-23T06:41:00.000-07:00Hey thats exactly what I use for my little 'shmoo'...Hey thats exactly what I use for my little 'shmoo', I first got the 2 tier option and a little later snapped up the 3 tier version.It fits in nicely with my distaste for plastic.AkaRound Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336754152463693307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-28644637851909750652007-03-21T13:09:00.000-07:002007-03-21T13:09:00.000-07:00I wish I had someone packing me such nice lunches!...I wish I had someone packing me such nice lunches!

I see that you put yours in an insulated carrier. I really didn't think they would fit.<BR/><BR/>Well, you should measure first to make sure. I measured the inside of my cooler and found that the 3-tier model would just fit with the handle in place. <BR/><BR/>For short trips I tend not to worry too much, but in the summer and for longer trips I plan to use the cooler. Of course if just you're traveling to work it will probably be fine until you can get it into the work fridge.Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-51589917547590939502007-03-19T12:55:00.000-07:002007-03-19T12:55:00.000-07:00Yes, there are a lot of great insulated tiffins fr...Yes, there are a lot of great insulated tiffins from India and Asia if you search the web and ebay.
