Product Description
A revolutionary new lunch box. More like a ceramic bowl than your standard food container and with better functionality. The 'glass like' lid locks to the body for a water tight seal and has an ingenious sauce dipping area (good for sushi lovers). A sauce pot is ideal for salad dressing (or ketchup), so you can dress your salad just before you eat it. An inner dish allows you to split different foods so you can microwave a hot dish, but keep other foods cold. Also included a fork / knife for easy one handed eating. This handy lunch box is made from polypropylene and copolyester, includes sauce pot, inner dish and fork and is microwave and dishwasher safe. Black+Blum are an Anglo-Swiss partnership who joined forces in 1998 based in London, the European heart of design.

A Great All-Round Lunch Box,
This review is from: Lunch Box, Blue and White (Kitchen & Home)
I have had this item for a few weeks now, and find it ideal for taking a lunch into work. Minus the sandwich section, it is the perfect size for a decently sized salad/pasta dish/cous cous,(whatever) with a nice sized pot for dressing/dip. However, I wouldn't recommend trying to fit a nice amount of salad with the sandwich section AND dipping pot, as it leaves quite a small amount of space. Leaving out one or the other of the inner compartments is best :) There is also a part of the lid, which when turned upside-down, is inverted and reads 'sauce'. But this is such a shallow amount of space, I'd just be tempted to dip straight out of the pot. Saves mess too ;)
Haven't used the sandwich compartment yet if I'm being totally honest, as being one of these dieter's, i'm still experimenting with what I can have. So I can't comment as to whether you can fit just half or a whole sandwich in there. Am also not sure if it stains easily, but, being of a white plastic and the cost of it... I'm not chancing it, and am just assuming yes (as all plastic seems to stain to me, haha) It also states about being microwaveable/dishwasher-proof, but again, I'm not risking that, as it's too nice a box to risk warping/ the rubber seal coming off etc. One more thing i will say is that the dipping pot isn't totally water-tight after the first use, but it's VERY minimal leakage, and seeing as it goes on whats in the main bit anyway, I don't see this as much of an issue.

Design update,
By John N. Norris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Box Appetit Lunch Box - Green (Kitchen & Home)
So I ordered this lunchbox not thinking that Amazon carried it (silly me!). I then saw it did and was dismayed by the product review. I contacted the company, and within the hour, they responded:
"Thank you for your email. We have been made aware of the issues experienced by some of our Lunch Box customers in regards to the clips. The designers have reviewed the product and I am pleased to let you know that we have a new lid design which is currently being manufactured. >From the feedback we have had and tests we have made, it was concluded that this issue was mostly linked to the handles design and partly due to the utilisation of the boxes. The handles were not meant to be opened over a 45 degree angle. Some customers have been pulling on the handles over that which actually creates a leverage effect, pushing out and breaking the lid edges. The same happened when the lid was placed on the box while the rubber seal was not correctly aligned or pushed into the lid before trying to close the box. To resolve this, the handles have been redesigned to allow the customer to open the handles over the 45 degree angle without creating the leverage effect. We have also added a breathing valve to stop the lid from being too tight when the customers are trying to open the box after storing hot food. The new lids also have slight change on the inside of the lid, to make sure that the customers can feel better when the lid is correctly aligned with the box and they can push to close the box. Finally, the latest change which is on the lids being currently manufactured, we are using a much softer material for the handles, which will mean that they will pop out if too much pressure is applied, but without breaking the lid. The customer will then be able to easily put back the handles in place. All the Black+Blum staff are trying these lids at the moment and we have not had any breakages. Should you for any reason find that the new design still does not fulfill your expectations then please do not hesitate to contact me again. We thank you once again for your feedback and we appreciate your support. Kind regards, Rachael P**** US Sales Administrator" What more could I want? So, kudos to them for correcting what users have noted as a problem. Update: 9/9/2011: So I finished lunch, put the lid back on, and closed the handles. Snap. Pop. one of the handles' connection with the lid broke off at the stem. And yes, top shelf dishwasher, no heat drying cycle, no forcing. I currently have a call into the company. I truly hope they can make good... It's been in use for four months and failed. Not so good. But I do love the overall design and the product. 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

Good at first, but beware of warping,
By AmandaJLi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Black+Blum Lunch Box, Black and Red (Kitchen & Home)
Bought my Box Appetit barely 2 months ago and up until now I've enjoyed using my Box Appetit.
Unfortunately, the lid on the triangle compartment no longer fits. I think it must've warped along with the triangle compartment itself, even though I followed the instructions to not heat the container beyond 2mins under medium power. Also one of the two snap fasteners on the lid broke off. And securing the lid to the container usually takes me at least 3 tries to get it to snap in. I'm disappointed that this product barely lasted me 2 months. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Broke 1st time used,
By HT - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Box Appetit Lunch Box - Green (Kitchen & Home)
The latch on the main lid broke the 1st time I used it. Soon after, the lids on the smaller compartments would no longer snap shut. Very poor construction.
