If you need to reheat I agree that the lidded pyrex containers are nice. If you have storage (locker or shelf space) I would just bring in a bowl or plate to use (maybe from a thrift shop, so it's not one making your home set uneven)

ETA: Seems like this one would be good: http://www.totalvac.com/parts/E30500.html. Could I get comments? The double steel construction seems like it would make it safe. Also, it would definitely keep rice and pasta warm too, wouldn't it?

Oh yeah, that one looks really nice to me! Nice wide mouth and not too huge. If you decide to get it let us know what you think of it!

It can be dumped into a different container to eat but you could bypass the heating issue all together.

What an excellent idea! Thank you.
