Function
- 3-compartment separation – Main, side one and side two stay in their own space from the moment the lid goes on; sauce doesn’t bleed into rice, salad doesn’t wilt against a hot protein, naan stays dry
- Freezer to microwave – Prep, freeze and reheat in the same base; all three compartments reheat simultaneously; no transfer at any point
- Leak-resistant when lidded – Pairs with anti-fog clear PP lid (sold separately) for a secure seal in delivery bags and transit
- Stackable – 8 sleeves of 40; bases nest cleanly for back-of-house storage
1-Comp vs 2-Comp vs 3-Comp — Which to Choose
| Format | Capacity | Best for | Typical use |
| 12oz 1-comp | 355ml | Side dish, snack | Sides, starters, small portions |
| 16oz 1-comp | 473ml | Standard single portion | Curry, pasta, rice bowl |
| 24oz 1-comp | 710ml | Generous single portion | Large rice dishes, noodle bowls |
| 34oz 1-comp | ~1,000ml | Maximum single portion — no separation | Biryani, large pasta, high-calorie meal prep |
| 34oz 2-comp | ~1,000ml | Main + 1 side separated | Protein + rice, curry + naan |
| 34oz 3-comp (this product) | ~1,000ml | Main + 2 sides separated | Full meal prep box, 3-item combos, institutional catering |
Use Cases
- Meal prep & food subscription — the 3-comp is the standard format for structured weekly meal boxes; protein, carb and vegetable side each in their own compartment; customer opens, microwaves, eats without decanting
- Premium takeaways & restaurants — combo meals where three elements need to arrive separated; jerk chicken + rice + slaw, curry + rice + naan, steak + mash + greens
- Dark kitchens & delivery-only operations — high-volume 3-compartment format for structured combo menus where consistency across every order matters
- Catering & events — pre-plated individual portions where main and two sides are separated before service; faster distribution, no cross-contamination between elements
Institutional & care home catering — the 3-comp is particularly useful where dietary separation is a requirement — allergen management, texture-modified diets, or portion-controlled menus where each element is specified separately. BPA-free PP meets food-contact compliance requirements for healthcare settings. Call +353 (0)1 4433964 for volume pricing.
