As tiffin season picks up again, plenty of households are looking for something simple that just works — no insulation to fuss over, no bulky outer shell, just clean steel that does the job every single day. The Borosil Slate Stainless Steel Lunchbox is that kind of tiffin: a set of two round containers, 280 ml each, made from food-grade stainless steel, paired with a carry bag that is genuinely easy to wash.
Because the steel is non-reactive, it does not leach chemicals or pick up flavour from acidic foods the way some materials can, so your food tastes the way you packed it. The lids are airtight and leak-resistant, keeping the tiffin spill-proof through a normal commute, and the containers are dishwasher safe, which matters on the days you simply do not have time to hand wash. Borosil backs the set with a 1-year warranty.

Both containers are identically sized at 280 ml, giving you two equal portions — useful for a main and a side, or simply for packing the same dish for two people.
Stainless steel does not react with acidic foods like tomato-based curries or citrus, so nothing picks up an odd taste or smell over repeated use — a common complaint with cheaper materials.
The lids are designed to seal tightly, so the tiffin can travel in a bag without leaking, even when carrying something with a bit of gravy.
Unlike many insulated or coated lunch boxes, these containers can go straight into the dishwasher, which is a genuine time-saver on busy mornings or after a long day.
The set includes a smartly designed carry bag that is itself easy to wash, so the whole package — box and bag — stays presentable well beyond the first few weeks of daily use.
The Slate's clean, no-fuss steel design makes it a sensible wedding gift for a couple who value function over flourish — it is the kind of tiffin that gets used daily without needing to be "managed." For corporate gifting, its simplicity and dishwasher-safe practicality suit large-volume back-to-school or Diwali gifting, where a straightforward, reliable steel tiffin is more likely to be genuinely used than a more elaborate alternative.
Each of the two containers holds 280 ml, giving a combined capacity suited to a light meal or two equal portions.
No, the Slate is a single-wall steel lunchbox without insulation. If you specifically need food to stay warm for several hours, Borosil's Carry Fresh insulated range is the better choice.
Yes, both containers are dishwasher safe, which makes daily cleaning considerably easier than with insulated or coated tiffins.
