Food-Steaming Lunchboxes

The 'Heatbox' Self-Heating Lunchbox Keeps Foods Tasting Fresh

It's a common occurrence to bring a packed lunch and warm it in the microwave only to have it dried out in the process, so the 'Heatbox' self-heating lunchbox has been created to help solve this problem.

The lunchbox boasts an all-in-one functionality that will allow a meal to be stored within for easily transporting between locations and a self-warming design that can have it ready in mere moments for consumption. The unit features a steam-powered functionality that will prevent food from drying out to keep it perfectly hydrated and flavorful when it comes time to eat.

The 'Heatbox' self-heating lunchbox features an internal battery pack that will deliver up to three heating sessions per charge and can also be connected to an accompanying app to fine-tune functionality.
