When it comes to making lunch for her five boys, reality and aspiration diverge for Lisa Pilcher, a finance director in Chicago. “In my head, I’m the mom who creates beautiful bento boxes with love notes to my kids,” she says. “In reality, it is an Uncrustables sandwich and a semi-moldy piece of fruit.” From kindergarten through fifth grade, the average American child may eat more than 1,000 school lunches, and for the average adult, the packing struggle can be quite real.

Skip forward years later, and unsurprisingly, the dowdy microwave gets a lot of love around here.
