The easiest thing to bring to work is a sandwich. Assembling them is simple, eating them is almost as effortless as breathing, and they generally keep pretty well in the fridge. The biggest issue you may face would be the contents sliding all over the place and leaving a lovely mustard or mayonnaise smear inside of the container you put it in.

When boiling pretty much anything on the stove, you have to be diligent in watching it to make sure it doesn’t spill over.
