The 10-minute test that saves a wrong order
Fill each sample with your real food and run it through what it will face: heat, sauce, a bag and a journey. If it passes, order with confidence.
See the 6 tests and what a pass looks like
| Test | How to do it | What a pass looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Portion fit | Serve your biggest normal portion | The lid closes without pressing on the food |
| Heat | Fill with your hottest dish and wait 10 minutes | The base stays rigid when you lift it with one hand |
| Leaks | Add sauce, close, tip to 45° for 30 seconds | No liquid at the lid edge |
| Transport | Carry two filled items in a bag with handles | The bag base stays flat and the handles hold |
| Microwave (if needed) | Reheat with the lid loosened | No warping or softening |
| Stacking | Stack three filled containers | The bottom lid does not cave in |
Not sure between two sizes?
Use your two samples on both. Side by side, with your own portion, the right size is obvious in seconds.
- Curry or Chinese takeaway: Test your main and your rice portion in the two sizes most curry houses use.
- Burger, kebab or chip shop: Check a wrap or kebab in the 7 x 5 and a full fish-and-chips meal in the 9 x 6.
- Café or coffee shop: An 8oz cup for hot drinks and a clear 500ml box for salads and cakes.
- Salad, poke or noodle bar: Compare a standard and a large bowl with your toppings and dressing.
