Which of the 3 sizes is best for a small work lunch? Sandwich and snacks in ziploc bags, or maybe sometimes frozen entrees or tupperware containers.

I purchased the middle size and it's perfect. Holds enough to feed my hungry man. I also purchased the small 4 pk squares blue ice pks They work great! I was putting ice cubes in a zip lock bag but as ice melted the bags would leak. The ice pks don't leak, and he just puts them back in freezer over night.

Sandwiches would fit great in the smallest one, but some frozen entrees won't fit.

I purchased the rectangular boxes and we use them for leftovers and lunches. They are also great for single serving meals that can be frozen. They are microwave & dishwasher safe! So it's a win all over :)

I would say at least one large bag and one small. I find it is much better suited for regular food. I have fit a large family size bag of chicken, a medium pork roast, 2 gallons of ice cream, 5 or 6 frozen veggies and fruit nicely and still had some room for small items like frozen cans of juice. I store my bags of ice in my upright which is deeper. This freezer is longer and is not as deep so I find that the narrower items fit better

I agree with Terry that Ms Bento Lunch can't hold a lot of food if you are buying for an adult lunch box. I got the Ms version for my son to bring warm lunch to daycare. It can hold one bowl of rice at the bottom and some veges on the top.

The picture on Amazon is not the greatest, but I've seen better pictures at Drugstore.com and at Bed Bath and Beyond. Basically, it is three separate containers plus the ice pack. The two smaller containers fit inside the larger container, still leaving room under the ice pack for a sandwich/entree. I hope that makes sense!

We fit a sandwich and some baggies of snacks in it. If you wanted to put containers of food in it I would get a bigger bag.

Use ziplock freezer bags to store - no freezing needed; cut n parts & place n separate bags to use as needed. It's wonderful!!! Enjoy!!!!

Hi Mom, I cant say if the 3 compartment divided containers fit, before emailing you I went to store to look for them, I was going to measure with the actual container, but they did not have the 3 compartment Zip lock container. I did add the interior dimensions to the description of the lunch box on Amazon. The lunch box inside is 7 7/8" x 7 1/4" x 3" . I hope this helps. I have three kids twins 7 and a 10 year old. The biggest reason I did this lunch box is because I was so grossed out with how dirty the soft lunch bags get with the kids using them. We do not use many reusable containers for the lunch boxes because the lids seam to get left behind at school more than they come home. I do understand many people do use the containers so I will compile some more information on what does fit inside and post it. If I can help you in anyway please let me know. Thank you in advance, Happy Holidays, Amen Wardy Owner Delicious Agent :)

Yup the largest compartment will easily hold a standard size sandwich. This blog has some pics to show what fits - http://rachelsrandom.com/2012/08/work-lunch-upgrade-hubbys-lunch-makeover/ (That's not an identical box but it's really close, size-wise.)

I like to elevate the plastic containers (5 gal plastic containers) off the floor (especially concrete) with strips of wood. It should be a cool and as dry as possible. If you have packets of food (loose) it is best to place them in 5 gal plastic buckets and seal them up with covers (lids). A steady moderate temperature is best... cooler is better. Any soft packing will need to be protected from bugs and rodents....they will try to chew into the packets. Take care.

Hi Isabell, You can easily fit two 3 cup containers, a bottle of water and a small snack. The bag is approximately 8 1/2" x 11" and about 4-5" wide. Pretty roomy for a lunch tote!

Hello J. Tullier!I'd think any of those would be fine.....think of them as a raisin....which could be stored all 3 ways w/the freezer extending the life the best!

hmmmm? I can tell you the sandwich kit largest (bottom in pic) container fits a sandwich perfectly. The entree kit is longer; the largest (bottom in pic) container actually has two little containers inside; the bigger of the two is ever-so-slightly smaller than the sandwich kit container, but still fits a sandwich easily!

10"Hx12"Wx9" it's a nice size for lunch. You can get alot in it. My husband loves it. There is no zipper to break.

Target has carried a similar compartmentalized lunch container the same size with four compartments and a locking lid. I looked and do not see the brand name on it. It is much sturdier then the ziplock containers.

For my daughters lunch I usually pack a round 2 cup (16oz) Tupperware along with 2 1/2 cups (4oz) round containers along with a bottled water (16oz) with some snacks in ziplock baggies also. You could fit a square 3 1/2 cup (25 Oz) Tupperware with a drink and baggies also.it is perfect size for lunch and or toting snacks/drinks around. Exact measurements are usually located under the features and details description of item.

I bought the Cool Gear Collapsible Salad Storage Kit. Look it up on Amazon - you might be able to find the measurements so you can then shop for containers that size. My husband put the salad container on the top portion of the Picnic Time Pranzo. He can still fit more snacks up there and a few drinks on the bottom. He always puts in a frozen water bottle to chill his drinks. I think it fits plenty. Anyone saying it doesn't is simply putting in containers that are too big. The salad kit container is a decent enough size.
