Stainless steel is the new plastic (or perhaps the old plastic). Whatever it is, stainless steel is very in right now, and provides the materials for the tiffin carrier, stackable tiers of storage for food. It’s a nice option for carrying your lunch to work or school, particularly if you have a container fetish (you know who you are!).
Other lunchbox options that we have discussed here (the enviable bento box), here (vegan lunches, vegetarian lunches, and bento), and here (cutlery, carrying case, napkins, and beverage containers).

That’s cool. Reminds me of miner’s lunch boxes.

I just watched an episode of the British version of Kitchen Nightmares where Gordon Ramsay had an Indian restaurant delivering lunches to local businesses in tiffins. They looked awesome.
There is also a scene in Eat,Drink,Man,Woman where the little girl brings her lunch to school in one.

Do you think you get to keep the tiffin with delivery?
