1. Choose a lunch box with a compartment design
Designs such as four-compartment lunch boxes and multi-layer lunch boxes can store different types of food separately, and each compartment can hold different foods to prevent odors from penetrating each other.
2. Use a lunch box with good sealing performance
Many modern lunch boxes are designed with locking lids or silicone sealing rings, which can better isolate the air and keep the food fresh and original.
3. Use plastic wrap or isolation bags
If you use a single-compartment lunch box, or the lunch box does not have enough compartments, you can use plastic wrap or isolation bags to further prevent food odor from odor. Wrap foods with strong odors separately with plastic wrap, or put them in a small isolation bag, and then put them in the lunch box.
4. Avoid direct contact with overly moist foods
Moist foods, such as soups or wet salads, are easy to mix with other foods, causing odors to bleed. If the lunch box does not have multiple compartments, it is best to put the moist food in a sealed bag before putting it in the lunch box. This not only prevents food from transferring odors, but also keeps the food fresh.
5. Choose the right food pairing
Some foods are naturally strong, such as onions, curry, fish, etc. These foods are best stored separately from lighter foods. If possible, choose some ingredients that are more neutral and less likely to transfer odors, such as chicken breast, steamed vegetables, rice, etc.
6. Clean the lunch box regularly
A lunch box that is not cleaned thoroughly may retain food odors, affecting the experience of the next use. Cleaning the lunch box regularly, especially the lid and gaps, can ensure that there are no food residues and odors. Wash the lunch box with warm water and detergent and dry it.
7. Use food preservatives or deodorizing bags
If you are particularly sensitive to food odor transfer, you can consider using some professional food preservatives or deodorizing bags.
