Solar-powered lunchbox keeps your food hot or even cool, depending on what’s inside - Yanko Design

The biggest benefit I can think of for a self-heating lunchbox is the sheer ability to avoid using your office microwave. Think about it. Tony from HR decided to bring tuna salad for lunch and now the entire microwave and lunchroom smell like funk. It’s a good thing you don’t need to microwave your lunch, because Sunnyside kept it hot for you.

Meet Sunnyside, a nifty bento box with a self-heating AND cooling feature that brings your lunch to the right temperature just before your meal. A heating coil around the metal container helps evenly conduct thermal energy around your food, keeping hot stuff hot, or if you’ve got something like an egg/potato salad that’s out in the sun, a pair of fans located on the bottom of the lunchbox pull out warm air, ensuring your food doesn’t spoil in the heat. However, the most impressive bit? Sunnyside relies almost entirely on a solar panel built right into its lid, working off renewable energy.

Sunnyside is a spacious, leakproof bento box with a modular divider system that lets you organize your lunch. A solar panel built into the lid helps charge the Sunnyside’s internal 10,000mAh battery that powers the lunchbox’s heating and cooling features, and a tiny LCD screen and buttons on the side help you control your Sunnyside, choosing how hot or cool you want the contents of your box to be. The 10,000 mAh battery is more than enough to power your lunchbox, and even doubles up as a wireless power bank to charge your phone, AirPods, or even your laptop as you wait for lunchtime to finally arrive!

Built-in Power Bank to Charge your Devices – With the built-in 10,000 mAh battery, you can not only heat or chill your meals but also charge your devices right from the lunch box.

Modular Dividers – Consists of removable dividers/separators so you can easily portion your meals, making it easier to follow a healthy diet.

Built-in Thermometer – The thermometer keeps a tab on the temperature and shuts it down automatically if it goes beyond a point. It can heat food in 7 minutes and has an auto cut off mode trigger so it doesn’t overheat your food.

Each Sunnyside comes with a safe, cordless design that’s also dishwasher friendly. An internal thermometer allows you to constantly gauge your food’s temperature, which gets displayed on a small screen on the side of the Sunnyside; or better still, Sunnyside’s own smartphone app allows you to set and control your lunchbox’s temperature anytime! Now if only the app also let you see if someone’s trying to steal your lunch!
