Portable Lunchbox Ovens

'HeatsBox' Warms Up Home-Cooked Food for Lunches

— November 8, 2016 — Lifestyle
Packing a lunch for work is often a healthier choice than buying prepared food every day, and HeatsBox, a product by Swiss start-up Faitron, makes it easier and more delicious to bring one's meal in to work. The portable device serves as a lunchbox, but it is also equipped with a built-in oven that lets consumers eat their meals as if they were prepared fresh.

While most office kitchens have a microwave, heating food up in a microwave is far from optimal, often leaving one's meal full of unpleasant cold spots. HeatsBox uses an 85 watt oven-like heater to warm up food, guaranteeing that the meal inside will be evenly heated. HeatsBox also comes with the same self-cleaning system in many newer oven models, saving time and making it easier to bring to work day in and day out.

1. Portable Lunchbox Ovens - The trend of portable lunchbox ovens is disrupting the traditional lunch market as it offers a more convenient and efficient way of heating up food for professionals on-the-go.

3. Healthier Food Choices - The trend of bringing homemade meals to work with portable lunchbox ovens is encouraging healthier eating habits among professionals who are looking for a more affordable and nutritious alternative to eating out.
Industry Implications
