Will meat, yogurt stay fresh in it upto 5 - 6 hrs? What is the best insulated lunch bag? Please let me know..Thanks

Answer
There are a couple of articles linked below about safely packing lunches, which should help your inquiry... They also have some cute insulated lunch bags on Walmart's website - I included a link to one of those as well!

Lunch bags... cute? Insulated?

I'm looking for something to carry food and snacks around in that doesn't have Scooby Doo or Spongebob on it. Surely you guys have something you use. I don't want the yucky tupperware one either. (picky picky)

Anyone have something unique and cute out there?

Answer
I have one that I LOVE, which is from Arctic Zone.

It's this style:

Except it has a ladybug on it, and is a bit more grown-up. :D

I couldn't find a picture of it, but I found it at Walmart in the back-to-school section. They probably still have them somewhere, though.

Is it safe to clean and re-use a moldy lunch container?

insulated lunch bag how to make image

I just found a re-usable insulated lunch bag I thought I lost about a year ago. I was all excited to start using it again when I opened it up and found the sides were moldy from what appears to be either an apple or an orange that I obviously forgot to take out. The bag is in otherwise good condition... there are no cracks in the plastic. Would it be safe for me to give the bag a good cleaning, perhaps with some bleach water, and begin re-using it for my lunch?

Answer
As long as you can get all of the mold spores out you should be fine. I would use a bleach and water mix, 1 part bleach to 10 parts water, and then wash it out with dish soap after that just to make sure you get all the bleach out and let it dry, if you notice any smells then after you clean it try it again and if you cant get rid of the mold smell or if it returns latter you may just have to throw it out. I hope this helps

Answer
I wouldn't use bleach on plastic, but a good cleaning may be enough. If after it is washed there is a stain, then the plastic was porous enough that the mold is likely permanent, in that case I wouldn't reuse.
