Does anyone have experience with using H&S at work (or travelling) with the dry food already measured out into the container?
I’m hoping to take the dry food to work in the container (Huel pot) and use the instant boiler or kettle once there to make up. Does any powder ‘leak out’ of the container when transporting, or any other issues when doing this? If so, does anyone use a different container to avoid this problem?
Hi Daniel the H&S pot isn’t a full screw closure so if its shaken about in travel some powder may come out. the alternative would be to put the powder in a small ziplock freezer bag in the pot (you can reuse the bag everyday so its not particularly wasteful) or you could get a small food flask instead such as this which also has an integrated spoon.
I’ve purchased a ThermoCafe (Thermos) 500ml food flask for a really good price (about half the price as shown on the Thermos site for the 470ml version). I got a slightly larger size just in case I have a larger portion at work. I had a 500ml water bottle previously so suspect this won’t be too big.
I use the little freezer bags, craft size so my Huel just barely fits, and keep a couple of them at my desk just in case I forget to pack lunch.
I have a separate glass resealable bowl that I make and eat it in, wash afterwards, and leave it at work with my utensils.
I did consider using some freezer bags, although when I measure out into my current Huel pot there is a fair bit of powder/dust that goes onto the bench. It may just remove the possibility of ending up with dusty H&S trousers at work if I were to use a Thermos flask.
I carry mine to work every day in the pot, in my man-bag (I’m sure there’s a better name for it ) and never had any issues. It’s a bit wedged in so stays upright, maybe that’s the trick?
