The Autumnal and Winter weather is here, and sometimes all you want is a warm lunch to keep you going at work. Hot food not only helps warm you up, but it also helps to boost your metabolism, promoting better digestion and nutrient absorption. Whether you’re working from home and don’t have time to cook, or you’re working from the office and don’t want to buy food out, here is how you can have a warm meal for lunch!
Citron offers both small and large food jars that are perfect for storing soups, pasta dishes, rice dishes and more. Thanks to the jars' triple-wall insulation and leak-proof lid, its vacuum-seals the food inside, keeping it warm for up to 6 hours or cold for 7 hours. Before you add your food to the jar, you will need to follow our instructions to heat it up.
- Add boiling water to the food jar for at least 5 minutes and rest the lid on top
- Heat up the food you have pre-made or just cooked
- Once the 5 minutes are up, drain the water, add the food and close the lid
P.s. More saucy foods such as soups, ramen noodles and saucy pasta dishes tend to stay warmer for longer than more dense food.
