Follow that? Yes, they’re from LL. No, the food doesn’t spill, but sometimes, depending on what you pack, you can end up with some stuff on the inside of the lid (like ants on a log).

I was bothered, too, by the lack of lids. But I was surprised at how well everything does stay put. You obviously can only put stuff like yogurt or applesauce in the compartment that does have the lid.

I throw them in the top rack of the dishwasher (even the whole outer container) and they clean up just fine.

Okay, they didn’t. They’re done in egg molds. I’m not sure you can find them in the U.S. — we got ours off eBay from someone in Japan. If you search “egg molds” I think you can find them.

You boil the eggs, and when they’re still hot you peel ‘em and pop ‘em in the molds. Drop in ice water for several minutes, and voila. Cute-as-a-button eggs.
