Lunch box question

Should I keep the cute metal princess lunch box I found or find another of the soft sided insulated kind? If I keep the metal, how do you recommend I keep items cold so they don't become unsafe? If I get another soft side, how do you recommend I clean it when the thermos of milk leaks all over and it can't be submerged in water?

    I've never heard that you can't submerge insulated lunchboxes, we've been washing them in the washing machine on the gentle cycle for years....I just don't recommend drying them!

    Let one from Lands End or LLBean who will take it back if it falls apart. The metal ones are decorative only.

    We have the insulated kind: a Land's End one (DS) and an LLBean one (DD) and I wash them in hot soapy water when they get funky.  The metal lunchboxes are clunky and won't fit in a backpack.
