So I found this when I got to Korea, its almost the perfect container. Its a metal rice bowl, with a lid to keep the rice warm before it gets to the table. I finally found a metal one like they use in restaurants (all the tourist places want to sell you ceramic ones). Its almost the perfect kit container. Metal and big enough to cook in, it holds eight ounces not quite full to the brim. Its two inches tall and about four in diameter and made of eighteen gauge steel practically crush proof. Its big, but not too big for a winter coat pocket. The only problem is the lid doesn't lock or seal down. But sealed with electrical tape, it is solidly closed and waterproof. For all that, it was five dollars and probably only that expensive because I bought it at a tourist shop.
