OXO Good Grips are one of my favorite brands and these containers are AWESOME. We use them just about every time we leave for a long work day on the road or for traveling too. It's extremely convenient that the container holds so much and has the divider that you can put fruits, veggies, dip, chips, literally anything else that you want on to it. I will be ordering more of these in the future.I have had two of the Oxo salad containers for a very long time and love them. They are overall perfect for salads with one except and that is that they don't quite fit in most lunch bags. That's not the fault of the salad containers, but the fault of lunch bags, in my opinion, because the insulated lunch bags are generally too narrow to be fully functional. This meant I had to put my OXO salad containers on the side mixing up all the top dish toppings or use smaller, less useful containers. Putting the OXO salad container on it's side was okay, because it was leakproof, but it was still irritating. So I decided to try the OXO lunch container and it is a far better fit for most lunch boxes. It actually holds the exact same amount of as the OXO salad container. (I filled both to the brim with water and it comes in exactly equal.) The difference is the top tray is deeper in the lunch container, than in the salad container, which is actually better for me since it's the toppings (meat, cheese, veggies) where I go crazy when making a salad. And the OXO lunch container is slightly more narrow, while being deeper, so it fits into my old lunch bag perfectly. Despite it being slightly more narrow, it's plenty wide enough to easily enjoy my salad or tossing the lettuce with the dressing. Plus, the deepness of the lunch container makes it more versatile, in my opinion. I use it often for various other lunches, such as pasta salads, stews (with noodles on the top plate), etc. The only downside for salads may be for some (not me) is that there is no salad dressing container with the lunch container. However the OXO dressing container can be purchased separately or use any container of your choice. I'm especially partial to the Nalgene wide mouth containers available in a myriad of sizes as they do not leak EVER and take up little space. (https://www.amazon.com/Nalgene-HDPE-Mouth-Round-Container/dp/B000P88NGU/ref=sr_1_22_sspa?keywords=nalgene%2Bwide%2Bmouth&qid=1558422671&s=gateway&sr=8-22-spons&th=1&psc=1) I often take the 2 ounce for salad dressings and steak sauces.These containers are perfect for anything. I love glass containers but find they are too heavy and delicate to use to bring lunch to work. I researched Amazon and originally settled on plastic containers from a New Zealand company.They were lightweight and had latches as well. Then further down the page in the comparison of like products, these appeared. These were an easy decision after watching the Oxo video. I purchased them to bring my homemade yogurt and fresh fruit to work. I am so happy I did although, I am sure the New Zealand company products are lovely as well.These just seemed so versatile and made with quality and more of what I was looking for. They can go from counter to freezer. In fact, I fill the base with my homemade yogurt, set the plate on top, fill with fruit, cover with lid and latch. I then place into the freezer the night before and it perfectly thaws out in time for my afternoon snack. You can also load these up with items that need to be heated because the whole thing can go into the microwave- just don't latch it so the heat can escape. Very easy to clean, and dishwasher safe (top rack). I also purchased the salad bowls with the plates. They hold a hefty amount and each bowl comes with a 2 oz container for dressing. You can place other salad toppings on the plate to help prevent the lettuce from getting soggy (ie.: tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.) and then toss all together or use the plate to hold a sandwich. Not sure of the materials but they are quality-made and seem to be made environmentally conscious. I am absolutely bonkers for these, going to purge my cupboards now of all the other only half-right containers!I've had one for a few years and recently bought a second. Not because after 2 years there is a single problem with the first one, but because I like it so much that I wanted to have a second. The dressing container is enough to thoroughly drench your salad if you like. I'm particularly fond of the "plate" that separates from the bowl (or salad) container. It's nice to make up a salad and have protein or wetter vegetables away from lettuce greens so they don't get soggy, also makes an attractive presentation that makes you happy!The whole kit is large enough to make 2 meals if you portion it and arrange correctly. I've pre-made salad in the container and put snacks on top, for longer workdays. I'm honestly considering getting several more for each family member, so everyone has their own color and something nice to take to work or school.I get so many compliments and comments about this salad bowl, and I've got nothing but good things to say about it. If Oxo needs a spokes person, hey I'm available!This is by far my favorite container for bringing salads to work. It holds a TON of food. So far I have done salad/lettuce mix in the main compartment with veggies and then chicken in the top compartment with the dressing container. It is so convenient to take out the top compartment and pop it in the microwave to warm up the chicken and then toss everything together in the main bowl. I like not having to cart around dressing bottles with me or leave the bottle at work. The container holds more than enough for one salad (and I like dressing) and does not leak. I will likely purchase more of these in the interest of meal prepping to save time in the morning, with a separate space for everything nothing gets soggy or wilted. I also have the smaller version that I have used for yogurt parfaits, keeping the fruit, granola or other toppings separate from the yogurt until I am ready to eat it. I think the only way they could make it better would be to add a utensil, but I wouldn't want to take anything away from what they already have.Ich habe mir die Lunchbox gekauft, um sie für warmes Essen zu nutzen. Sicherlich kann man auch Salat reinpacken, aber dafür finde ich sie persönlich zu klein. Praktisch ist, dass sie absolut dicht ist und man eine Einlegeschale hat, die man je nach Bedarf nutzen kann um z.b. Sosse und Nudeln voneinander zu trennen. Deckel abmachen und ab in die Mikrowelle. Sie lässt sich problem reinigen und auch in die Spülmaschine geben. Die Wanddicke der Dose ist etwas dicker als ich gewohnt bin, aber schwerer wird sie dadurch nicht. Alles in allem empfehle ich den Kauf der Dose. Würde mich über eine Markierung mit „hilfreich“ freuen, wenn es die Kaufentscheidung erleichtert hat. Danke!Questa è LA schiscetta e merita 5 stelle.Innanzi tutto è BPA free ed è perfettamente a tenuta stagna a patto che si sistemi correttamente coperchio/guarnizione e i 4 ganci si chiudano senza sforzo, se si avverte l'impiego di troppa forza per agganciarli il coperchio è messo male e perderà come tutti i coperchi chiusi male. (e rischiate di rompere o compremettere i ganci) . Detto questo in lavastoviglie nessun problema, lavaggio a mano non usare MAI la spugna dalla parte abrasiva perchè la finitura è delicata e si graffia dando inizio alla penetrazione nella superficie della scodella di pomodoro e olio facendo diventare il contenitore "rosso unto di pomodoro" acquisendo nel tempo odore di rancido che sento nelle schiscette dei miei colleghi.CONSIGLI:I punto debole di qualsiasi contenitore di questo tipo sono i ganci, consiglio di chiuderli "due a due contrapposti" "premendo e oscillando" il coperchio in modo da pareggiare le distanze dai punti di aggancio...e non fatelo mai cadere?Tra la scodella ed il piatto stendete un velo di pellicola trasparente, fate combaciare il piatto alla scodella espellendo l'aria, mettete il coperchio e chiudete (avvertirete una leggera e trascurabile pressione in più nella chiusura dei ganci) poi a mano strappate via la pellicola in eccesso.Quando aprirete la schiscetta per il votro delizioso pasto, magari passato di verdure o pasta al pomodoro stracotto meridionale, il fondo del piatto sarà pulito e pronto da mettere sul tavolo e non unto o verde di passato di verdure.Se ti è stato utile clicca il bottone!A great concept but poorly executed - the included tray does indeed keep dry ingredients separate from wet, but unfortunately the bottom of that tray will become completely covered in whatever is in the lower compartment (which needs a lid!). Not useful at all as you then can't put the top tray down without making a mess! The top tray also occupies a significant portion of the space in the lower compartment when stored.Great quality as usual from OXO but not much use with such a fundamentally flawed design - returned.I bought this because after 2 years the lid of my old one cracked and I was so impressed with it I wanted to replace it rather than try and find another make as good. One of the best things about my old lunchbox was that it didn't stain very easily, so after a year of use it was still white. However this new replacement was turned orange by baked beans after just one use, so I'm sticking with the old base and just using the new lid. £20 for a lid is not the best value for money.Voller Vorfreude habe ich direkt nach dem Kauf meinen ersten Salat mit auf Arbeit genommen und die Böse Überraschung erlebt! Die Salatsoße war in der ganzen Tasche! Der Gummi scheint ausgeleiert und dichtet dadurch überhaupt nicht ab - leider sehr enttäuschend!
