A borosilicate glass food container with its own insulated lunch bag. Glass is the upgrade here: it goes in the microwave without warping, does not stain from turmeric or tomato, and food does not come out tasting faintly of yesterday's plastic container. The insulated bag keeps the meal at temperature between home and lunchtime.

Buying guide
Do not take it from the fridge straight into a hot oven, or pour cold water into a hot dish — thermal shock is the one way borosilicate glass fails. Carry it upright in the bag and check the lid seal before it goes into a work bag with a laptop. Wash the bag lining occasionally; insulated bags absorb spills.
How it compares
Against plastic containers, glass does not stain, warp or hold odours, and is heavier to carry. Against a steel tiffin, you can see and microwave the food. Against a container with no bag, the insulation keeps the meal warm rather than tepid by 1pm.
