If you want a more sophisticated lunchbox than a brown bag or a plastic “snack pack”, think about investing in an Indian lunch pale.

I first found out about these from my friend John Joseph. He studies yoga philosophy and, just like many of their spiritual beliefs, these food containers make a lot of sense. Made of stainless steel, it’s a three-tier container, designed to keep food dishes separated but hot. Since heat rises, they stack one upon another to keep all the food warm. Of course, you can wash and reuse it so there’s nothing to throw away. And, the best part is you don’t see them around that often, so you get to be the cool cat with hottest lunchbox on the block!
