Most lunch containers mix everything together the moment you put them in your bag. By the time you arrive at the office, your greens are soggy, your dressing has leaked, and your carefully prepared meal looks nothing like what you packed. This 1000 ml salad jar works differently. Ingredients layer vertically inside the clear ABS jar — dressing in the separate 73 ml cup, heavier ingredients at the base, greens at the top. The screw lid seals everything tight for transport. When you are ready to eat, lay the jar on its side, open the side lid, and the jar becomes a bowl — no decanting, no extra dishes. A stainless steel fork is included so you can eat wherever you are.
Why It Stands Out
- ✓ Side-opening design — jar becomes a bowl — Lay the container on its side and open the front hatch. The jar becomes a full-depth bowl that you eat directly from. No transferring to another dish, no extra washing up.
- ✓ Separate 73 ml dressing cup included — The small dressing cup stores your sauce, dressing, or seasoning separately from the main ingredients during transport, then pours directly into the bowl when you are ready. Dressing only touches the salad when you choose.
- ✓ 1000 ml capacity — a full meal — At 33.8 oz / 1000 ml, this jar holds a full portion: a complete salad with toppings, or overnight oats with fruit and granola, or a layered grain bowl.
- ✓ Stainless steel fork included — A stainless steel fork (7.40 in / 18.8 cm) is included in the package so you have everything you need to eat on the go.
- ✓ Clear ABS body — see every layer — The transparent ABS jar lets you see exactly what is inside without opening it. Visually clean layers also make it practical for meal prep — pack it the night before and check freshness at a glance.
- ✓ Microwave, freezer, and dishwasher compatible — The container can go from the freezer to the microwave for hot meals, and cleans in the dishwasher. Practical for daily use.
- ✓ Leak-proof screw lid with sealing strip — The screw lid uses a sealing strip to close tightly, keeping liquids inside during transport — including dressings, fruit juices, and yogurt.
- ✓ Impact-resistant ABS construction — The ABS body resists impact and daily bag use without cracking or discolouring.
How the Side-Opening Works
The jar has two lids: a screw-on lid at one end for sealing during transport, and a side-opening hatch on the body of the jar. For transport, stand the jar upright with the screw lid on top — everything is sealed. To eat, lay the jar on its side and unclip the front hatch. The opening exposes the full width and depth of the jar as a bowl. The side hatch lid can be set aside while you eat and clipped back in place to seal any remaining food for later.
How to Layer It for Best Results
-
Layer 1 (base — screw lid end): Heavy or wet ingredients — grains, pasta, chickpeas, or protein.
-
Layer 2 (middle): Firmer vegetables and toppings — cucumber, cherry tomatoes, peppers, corn, or roasted vegetables.
-
Layer 3 (top — side opening end): Delicate greens — lettuce, spinach, arugula, or fresh herbs. These stay away from moisture until you are ready to eat.
-
Dressing cup: Pour your dressing, sauce, or seasoning into the 73 ml cup. Add to the salad only when you open the jar to eat.
What to Store in It
This container works for any meal that benefits from keeping ingredients separate during transport. Common uses include layered salads with dressing on the side, overnight oats with fruit and toppings, grain bowls with sauce, fruit with yogurt dip, snack combinations with dips, and light meal prep portions for work or school. The 1000 ml capacity is sized for a full main meal rather than a side portion.
What This Container Is Not
This is a portable single-serving lunch container — it is not a storage jar for bulk meal prep or pantry use. The side-opening design is optimised for eating on the go, not for scooping large portions. It is not suitable for very hot soups or liquids poured at high temperatures. For reheating, use microwave-safe settings and allow steam to vent before opening.

Care and Maintenance
The container body, side hatch lid, screw lid, and dressing cup are all dishwasher safe. For best results with the sealing strip on the screw lid, rinse it after each use and check periodically that the strip is seated correctly. The stainless steel fork can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive scourers on the clear ABS body. Store with the lid open or loosely closed when not in use to allow air circulation.
