Product Information
Full details
The Judge Stainless Steel Lunch Box (2.1L, Silver) is for individuals seeking a durable, versatile, and leak-proof food container for daily use, meal prep, or travel. Its key benefit is the 3-in-1 functionality: cook, seal, and store meals in a single container, offering oven and freezer safety. A potential caveat is that it is not microwave-safe, requiring alternative reheating methods. This lunch box features a robust 18/10 stainless steel body, secure metal clips, and a silicone seal for reliable, leak-proof transport, and a substantial 2.1-litre capacity.

FAQs
Can I cook food directly in this lunch box on the stovetop?
No, this lunch box is not suitable for direct use on stovetops, including induction hobs. It is designed for oven cooking (without the lid) and freezer storage.
How do I ensure the leakproof seal is effective?
Make sure the silicone seal is clean, properly seated in the lid's groove, and free of any food debris. The metal clips must be securely fastened to create the necessary pressure for a tight seal.
Is the lid oven-safe?
No, the lid is not oven-safe. You must remove the lid before placing the stainless steel body of the lunch box into the oven.
What materials is the lunch box made from?
The lunch box body is made from robust 18/10 stainless steel, and it features a silicone seal and metal clips.
How large is the capacity of this lunch box?
The lunch box has a capacity of 2.1 litres (2100 ml).
Can I put hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer?
It is generally recommended to let hot food cool down closer to room temperature before placing it in the freezer to avoid excessively warming up the freezer's internal temperature. However, the lunch box itself is freezer-safe.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Judge Stainless Steel Lunch Box comes with a Lifetime Guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Lunch box is not leakproof
Ensure the silicone seal is properly seated in the lid groove and is free from debris. Check that the metal clips are securely fastened and pressing firmly against the lid.
Food is not reheating evenly in the oven
Remember to remove the lid before placing the box in the oven. Ensure the oven is preheated correctly and consider stirring the food halfway through the reheating process for more even results.
Discoloration or scratches on the stainless steel
Minor discoloration can sometimes be buffed out with a stainless steel cleaner. Use only non-abrasive cloths and cleaners to prevent further scratching. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Lid is difficult to close or open
Check for any food particles or obstructions around the rim or seal. Ensure the silicone seal is correctly aligned. If the clips feel stiff, try gently flexing them.
