If you're eagerly awaiting lunch or dinner while you're at work or on-the-go, nothing can ruin your meal quite like a wilted salad with toppings that have lost their crispness.

"Usually when I bring a big salad to lunch in a sealable plastic bowl, everything wilts by noon—not with this bowl! My greens are crisp and everything stays super fresh," wrote a five-star reviewer. "This is the best bowl. I love that I can pack my salad the night before and everything stays fresh [in its] own compartments," added another shopper.

To further ensure your lunch or dinner never gets soggy before you're able to enjoy it, the lid has an airtight seal and locks that click into place to prevent your container from opening unexpectedly. Plus, the bento box-style container even includes a reusable fork to create a true all-in-one experience, and everything, including the main container, tray, and lids, is BPA-free.

"I have used many different types [of containers] from plastic to stainless steel, and this beats all of them," wrote a reviewer who also confirmed that the "best thing" they've discovered about the container is its leak-proof feature.
