Here's why you need an insulated food container

|

If you’re new to the Citron team, then hello! We have a range of eco-friendly mealtime products for everyone in the family and for every occasion. One of our most innovative and must-have products has to be our insulated food jars. Our food jars are made from stainless steel, come in two different sizes and will keep your food warm for up to 6 hours, or cold for 7 hours, depending on what food you add into it. Let’s jump right in and explore the reasons why you should add a food jar into your basket today. 

1. Temperature regulation

Our food jars will keep your food warm or cold for extended periods of time. This feature is especially useful for maintaining quality whilst you’re on the go. To keep your food warm, all you have to do is add boiling water to your jar, pop the lid on and wait at least 5 minutes for it to warm it up. Pour the water out of the jar, add your hot food in and close the lid. You can then enjoy a warm meal once you get into work, or out on your picnic. Alternatively if you want to keep your food cold, simply add your food to the jar and you're good to go. To seal the food in, we’ve equipped our jars with leak-proof lids which are very easy to open and close.

    2. Cost savings

    By bringing your meals from home instead of buying them from restaurants or cafes, you can help you save a significant amount of money in the long run. Whether you’re commuting into work or travelling, take your own food in your Citron food jar for convenience and cost saving. The food jars are also made from stainless steel, ensuring their durability and longevity. Investing in a good quality container means you’ll have a reliable option for transporting food on the go for many years to come.

    3. Healthier eating

    When you have access to your own food throughout the day, you’re more likely to make healthier choices and avoid fast food or unhealthy snacks. As we have two different sizes of food jars, the small one can be used for snacks and on-the-go breakfast recipes such as overnight oats and our large one can be used for lunches.

    4. Environmental benefits

    Using insulated food containers helps to reduce the need for single-use packaging, such as disposable takeout containers or the packaging that a supermarket meal deal comes in. This practice contributes to reducing waste and reduces the environmental impact associated with single-use packaging.

    5. Versatility

    Citron’s insulated food jars are suitable for carrying an array of different meals in, which means you can never get bored of taking your lunch into work or school. Its leak proof lid means you can store any foods such as soups, salads, pastas, noodles, porridge and snacks into the jar for any occasion.
