The Tiffin Tin

This morning, gingerbread came in the form of muffins. And when we were through eating almost all of them, I put the rest in another container that comes from Koreana Plaza (23rd & Telegraph, Oakland).

There are three things I like very much about this container. First, it’s glass. Glass doesn’t get smelly, you can see inside to the wonderful contents, and when you microwave it you’re not going to wonder if something icky will leach into your food. Second, the lid is a marvel of thoughtful engineering. It’s plastic, and it snaps over the top with four hinges, one on each side. It’s easy to do, and there’s a butterfly embossed on the hinges, purely for your pleasure. Third, it was not expensive — $7. That’s pretty good for something you’re going to use forever.
