U-Konserve Round Container with Silicone Lid
A 304 stainless container sealed by a platinum-grade silicone lid - leak-resistant with zero plastic; the only non-steel part is the silicone lid.
The verdict: Silicone only
The container is 304 (18/8) stainless steel, and the leak-resistant lid is platinum-grade silicone - the only non-steel part, and the reason it's silicone-only rather than fully plastic-free. Unlike gasketed steel boxes (where a plastic frame holds a silicone ring), the whole lid here is a single piece of silicone that stretches over the steel rim, so there's no plastic anywhere. This is the practical pick when you need a seal for wet foods and still want to avoid plastic - the flexible lid is easy for kids' hands.
