Small stainless steel snack pots without plastic lids

9 replies

ThumbTowers · 28/01/2026 22:21

Has anyone found any? I give my kids a few things in their lunchboxes that are currently kept in small plastic snack pots (sliced grapes, carrot batons etc). As well as generally trying to move away from plastic, I am sick of not being able to clean the inside of the lids properly. Over time the inner ridges of the lids get mouldy. I've been looking for small stainless steel snack pots but they all seem to have plastic lids, so I'll have the same problem.....

Rather than look for pots could you go for a two level bento or a tiffin tin?

Is glass out of the question? Small jam / mustard pots would work.

Steel containers/tiffins have been used for generations in Indian families. You will easily find them in Indian stores or online.

OMG that reminds me the spice tins in a dabber could be perfect.

I have the Elephant Box ones, which are great.

The elephant box ones look great, but so expensive! I have seen the silicone lidded pots but not used them as I assume they are just as difficult to keep clean longer term.

There are silicone lids on the elephant box ones I have. They go in the dishwasher so easy to clean.
