20 NEW PRODUCTS KITCHENWARE NEWS & HOUSEWARES REVIEW n JANUARY 2014 n www.kitchenwarenews.com New Products LAVA LUNCH Lava Lunch is a timely, easy, and practical solution that combines hip modern design with warmth. Lava Lunch keeps the food inside warm for up to six hours and allows to-go lunches from foods you never thought possible before all served hot. It does so through a combination of its proprietary insulation and additional heat provided by the Lava Rocks included. The Lava Rocks are designed to absorb heat energy right from your microwave and store it above a pre-determined temperature. Once the interior of the tote falls below this temperature, the Lava Rocks slowly release their heat, thereby maintaining the temperature inside the tote. They are also made of organic, plant-based material, and designed so that they cannot leak—even if punctured.
