Microwaveable transportable container??

Madame Razz

Hope I'm posting this in the right place:o.

Recently(and for the foreseeable future) I have a lot of super early starts which don't leave me with a lot of time for breakfast, the end result being I wait until i get to work and end up eating something not as nutritionally sound:rolleyes:

I don't have the time for elaborate breakfasts in the morning(5am) but was wondering if anybody could recommend a container that I could microwave some scrambled eggs in and bring with me to eat en route. It's not ideal, but at least I'd be getting a proper brekkie. I don't think a regular lunchbox type thing would work because of the microwave but if anybody has any suggestions I'd be most grateful:)

I think many lunchboxes would be microwaveable nowadays. If you check the bottom of containers it usually has different codes, PP5 means it is a certain grade of polypropylene and is usually microavable (watch for metallic labels too!). Many supermarket containers are PP5, even ones for icecream, and many have decent snap on lids. -be careful as sometimes on the base is PP5, but those microwaveable soups come in good containers.

You can buy thermos bowls now, you could preheat them with boiling water from a kettle and add your piping hot microwaved food to them.

I make pancakes with porridge oats, milk & egg, these can be popped in a toaster at work, if you have one, or just eaten cold, they are like scones if made thick enough.

Thanks so much for your reply; so helpful:)

No toaster access unfortunately:( but I'll certainly try to pick up one of those containers you have recommended over the next day or two.

Thanks again!.

Ikea is best for these containers
