This To-Go Ware tiffin was just what the doctor ordered!
I was sick as a dog all weekend. Coughing. Sneezing. Stuffy head. Dizzy. I needed hot and sour soup, and I needed it fast! Michael was happy to go pick some up for me. The problem? Our local Chinese restaurants serve take-out soup in plastic containers. Not to worry! Our To-Go Ware tiffin was just the thing. I called ahead to Becky's Chinese to confirm they'd put our order in our own container, and they said no problem.
Several day's worth of hot and sour soup went in the bottom section, and an order of curry chicken went in the top. We made our own rice at home. The tiffin saved the day. The servers at the restaurant didn't totally get it, though, trying to put the tiffin itself into a plastic bag. But Michael stopped them and explained that that's why the container has a handle!

I think they're great!
Yes they can be a bit on the expensive side, but really it's worth it. They also have bamboo utensil sets, or a whole set you can buy with a carrying case (over the shoulder bag... super cute imo) and a utensil set and of course the SS container.
At first you feel weird bringing this in to a restaurant, but you get over it and you find people asking questions about it. Its a great way to bring up how damaging styrofoam is to the earth. I don't think people really *GET* how a little makes a HUGE difference. Good AND bad. This is a small way to save some landfills the eternal lifespan of styrofoam!
They clean easy, they're cleaner than plastic because bacteria likes to hide in the pores of plastic, and they're cute and fun. There's a million other reasons too.
I say if you're even THINKING about it just do it. It's an investment!!
Great place, great products, and great people.

I love my To-Go Ware!
I have been using my stainless steel To-Go Ware for a couple of years now. It was great as a chiropractic student to bring my lunch and/or dinner with me to school and I used it all the time. You can pack the 2 pieces separately, and there's even a plate in the middle! Very convenient and easy to use, especially in conjunction with the same company's bamboo silverware set. It includes a fork, knife, spoon, and even chopsticks and comes in a great colorful roll-up carrier (produced by WEAVE, a women's cooperative on the Thai-Burma border). Awesome products, I love them!

Great for Kids
Whenever we travel or my two year old Izzy goes off with his manny (read: Jedi trainer, once a week) for the day, we always pack To-Go Ware. That way we can make him both cold and warm food and the little man can get nourished. I'm a big fan of To-Go Ware, many of their products are made by WEAVE, an income generation project on the Thai-Burma border. I've have also been using their bamboo utensils for years.

The Way To-Go! Stainless 2-Tier Food Carrier.
I was shopping online for holiday gifts at Katie's Caring Gifts. I found a lightweight 2-tier food carrier made out of stainless steel. You can carry either hot or cold food in it. And, it comes with a removable plate. If I were working in a office or back in school full-time, I'd order a To-Go Ware 2-Tier Food Carrier for transporting my lunches, in a nanosecond. How convenient for picnics and when taking food to a small gathering of friends. A plastic-free product. Katie's Caring Gifts also sells a cloth-wrapped bamboo utensil set - a nice companion gift.

Sensible and convenient
Plastic is not sensible or chic to eat out of. Glass is often inconvenient and heavy. I've been using stainless steel carrying containers for years!! When I was living in Taiwan, all of us carried our lunches in metal boxes. You can find all sorts of styles and dimensions to fit your needs. Now, many years later, they are just catching on in the U.S. among the eco-conscious. They are easy to clean and sterilize. Steel will not leach toxins into your food or hold stains like plastic.

No more TO GO Food that is a NO GO for planet!
For the past month, I have faithfully been using my Stainless Steel Food Carrier in the heart of New York City! I made a commitment that I would never use another wasteful styrofoam container to carry take out food or left overs. What a life change this has been!
In the beginning I had to overcome some challenges. The food carrier is large and bit bulky, so I had to find a larger bag that would fit my laptop, my purse and work out clothes. Then I had to ask restauranteurs if they would pack my food in the food carrier. For the first week, I was confronted with resistance. But I found that I simply had to take my "food business" elsewhere, and only eat at places which would allow me to use my food carrier.
Being a bit of a fashionista, carrying a food carrier seems antithetical to the image of a fast-forward moving New Yorker. But quite the contrary, I have also found support from waitresses and friends who marvel at my endeavor.
Now I realize that the food carrier is a great piece of investment for myself, planet and people. People love good change, and I find that it is wonderful to exchange with others when I share what I am trying to do with just one stainless steel food carrier.
