The Milton Cool Touch Square 1600 in Light Green (Aqua Green) is the most muted and sophisticated colour in the Cool Touch Square 1600 range — the aqua green tone is contemporary and kitchen-friendly, appealing to those who prefer a subtle, modern neutral over a bold colour. Part of Milton's innovative Cool Touch Series, this large-capacity square container combines a microwave-safe stainless steel inner body with a cool-to-the-touch BPA-free plastic outer shell — a design that solves the everyday frustration of transferring food from its carry container to a separate bowl for reheating. The actual capacity is 1580 ml (the model name "1600" refers to the nominal range), making it well-suited for carrying large portions, family-sized meals, or bulk-prepped food for the day. At 19 × 19 × 8.7 cm, the square footprint fits neatly into refrigerators, lunch bags, and office desk spaces. The container is also refrigerator-safe, making it a single vessel for storing, carrying, and reheating food at work or home. Milton backs it with a 1-year warranty.
The Cool Touch Series' engineering insight is in its two-layer construction: the stainless steel inner heats evenly in a microwave and retains no food odours or flavours over time, while the cool-touch plastic outer prevents burns when removing the container from the microwave after heating — even without oven gloves. It is important to remove the lid before microwaving, as the lid is not microwave-safe. The container is food-grade and BPA-free throughout. Some Amazon.in reviewers have flagged concerns about the lid's plastic edges cracking after extended use or if the lid is pressed too forcefully — handling the lid with care and avoiding dropping it preserves its longevity. Overall, customer sentiment is broadly positive on the concept and build quality of the steel inner and cool-touch exterior.
The stainless steel inner body can be placed directly in the microwave for reheating (without the lid), eliminating the need to transfer food from carry container to a separate bowl. One vessel for storing, carrying, and reheating — for home, office, and travel.
The BPA-free plastic outer shell stays cool to the touch even when the inner steel body is hot from the microwave, allowing safe handling immediately after reheating without oven gloves or waiting for the container to cool down.
At 1580 ml in a large square format, this container carries enough for a family meal or a full day of meal-prepped food in a single vessel. The square shape maximises usable space in refrigerators, lunch bags, and on office desks.
The container is refrigerator-safe, completing the full food storage cycle: store leftovers in the fridge, carry to the office, and microwave directly — all in the same container. Reduces washing up and container clutter significantly.
All materials are food-grade and BPA-free. The steel inner is odour-neutral and rust-resistant. Handle the lid with care to preserve its longevity. Backed by a 1-year Milton manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects.
