Perhaps you don’t want to be part of the lunch hour crowd, or you’re trying to eat healthy and want to prepare meals from home. Whichever the reason, an electric lunch box can be a good investment for you to keep your chicken rice or soup hot. Some can even cook rice. In this article, we cover our recommended options for the best electric lunch box in Singapore.
How to choose the best electric lunch box in Singapore
1. Capacity
Will you be using this electric lunch box only for yourself, or will you be sharing it with someone else? Also, how many food servings do you need the lunch box to carry?
As a benchmark, a 1 to 1.5-litre food container should be sufficient for one person. If you’re packing for more than one or if you have a bigger appetite, a capacity of two to three litres can accommodate one to two servings.
It’s also good to note the different bowls and compartments that come with the lunch box. Perhaps you’d like to separate your side dishes from your main dish, such as in a bento box.
2. Material
In general, the materials used in the electric lunch box used should be food-grade, certified, and safe to use.
It’s typical for the bowls and compartments to be made of food-grade stainless steel, while the outer casing can be made from food-grade polypropylene material.
Such combinations of materials ensure that your electric lunch box is safe, hygienic, easy-to-clean, and able to accommodate any kind of food.
3. Power output
Power output is an important factor to consider if you intend to cook your food within the container itself. Yes, this is possible!
If you want your electric lunch box to also keep the food warm after, you’ll need a more powerful electric lunch box with power specifications of 110V/350W or higher.
On the other hand, if you only want to warm your food, you can consider a 110V/220W container.
Today, there are also electric lunch boxes that can be powered within your car, keeping your food warm during your drive to the office. For such lunch boxes, you’ll need a 12V power source.
