Portable lunchbox

Abstract

A lunchbox having a base part (2) having a food cavity (40) for receiving food; a lid (1) sealingly, closing the base part (2); and a closure (3) for closing the lunchbox. The closure (3) has at least one locking element. At least one lifting-element clamp (30, 31) is provided, which lifts the lid (1) from the base part (2.) when the locking element is in a position in which it is moved with respect to a closed position. Preferably the locking element and the lifting element are a single component formed by a clamp. This lunchbox is suitable for transporting, storing and preparing meals by optionally heating and steaming the food. The lunchbox allows safe opening of the lid without the risk of scalding the user and also ensures optimal sealing.
