Review: Excellent Bento - But So Much Food! - I ordered the Mr. Bento lunch jar because I was tired of eating out for lunch at work, or worse yet, hitting up the vending machines. My Bento jar arrived quickly, and in perfect condition. Unlike some previous purchasers, I did get an English translation of the instructions with my Bento jar, although it's a pretty foolproof product as long as you know not to microwave the lids or treat it too harshly. When I use my Mr. Bento jar, I pack and stack it the night before and then set it in my refrigerator for the whole thing to chill. It won't fit into the refrigerator at work (too tall) so it sits on my desk at the office until I am ready to eat. Because I have access to a microwave, I don't need to keep my food hot. However, I have found that my Mr. Bento does do an excellent job of keeping my food nice and cool, although not ice cold. Others have done an excellent job of reviewing how Mr. Bento keeps the food cold (i.e. while not being a full-on thermos, it's got plenty of insulation between the bowls, their lids, and the metal outer shell). The carrying bag is fashioned out of a nice stiff canvas with a zipper and a pull enclosure. I love the spork and spork cover that comes with the jar as well. As I eat my food during the workday, I wash out each bowl at the sink in our office kitchen and take it back to my desk. At the end of the day I go home, put it on the counter, and pack it and chill it before going to bed. My goal with this product was to eat healthier and more regularly during the day. My typical Bento jar has the following: - Top (smallest uninsulated) bowl: a handful of pretzels and a few lowfat animal crackers - Second (larger uninsulated) bowl: carrot sticks and hummus (hummus in a silicon cupcake cup) - Third (main, insulated) bowl: 1/2C of cooked rice with chicken or black beans or some other veggies/meat. - Fourth (bottom, insulated) soup bowl: A homemade soup, this week it's been corn chowder My intention was to eat regularly throughout the day, every couple of hours, to keep my blood sugar levels steady and hopefully lose weight, control cravings etc. That was my intention. The only problem? There's just too much food! I have to really work to eat my way through all of the food that fits into my Mr. Bento, and I rarely can. Usually either the soup or the main bowl ends up in the refrigerator at the office, while I take home the other 3 bowls and refill them for the next day. I'm a 5'6" woman, medium build, with a pretty good appetite, but it's just too much food for me. On the plus side, my husband loves my Mr. Bento. In fact, he's eyeing it jealously. So I have splurged yet again and bought the Ms. Bento (3 bowls) for myself. As soon as it arrives, my husband will inherit my Mr. Bento for his lunches. The beauty of the Bento jars, and "bento" in general, is that it's great for people like me who want more creative lunches, and who are sick of sandwiches and potato chips and what have you. The product is great, and while it's a little expensive, the money I save from not raiding the snack machine ($5 a week, at least) alone will pay for the Bento jar in just a couple of months. Highly recommended, but if you don't have a big appetite, you might want to consider a Ms. Bento instead of this jar.
Review: Maybe the perfect student lunch box. - I bought this for my daughter towards the end of her kindergarten days (2013) and it's still going strong. I have repeatedly recommended this lunch box to family, friends, colleagues, and strangers on the internet. My daughter likes some of the school lunches but not all of them, so sometimes I would make her lunch to take to school. At first this was disappointing; there are only so many brown bag sandwiches that she'll happily eat during the week and I didn't like her having cold lunches at school. She doesn't have access to a refrigerator or microwave oven at school so that limited our options. For awhile I improvised using small Thermos-type containers to give her hot foods but this limited the types of hot foods I was able to give her since all those Thermos-type containers are vertical cylinders, not exactly conducive to things like spaghetti or hot sandwiches. Plus, her lunch bag got bulky with a collection of different sized containers, and everything had to be hand-washed because things like GladWare containers shouldn't be put in the dishwasher. So I went looking for something better and I found this, and I can only say that I wish I found it earlier. The product description here on desertcart tells all of the gritty details so I won't waste time with that. Here's what you really want to know: YES, IT DEFINITELY KEEPS HOT FOODS HOT FOR HOURS AT A TIME! I make my daughter's lunch at 8am and she eats it at around 12:30pm and she has never once complained that her lunch wasn't hot enough. I learned that if I fill the main body (the "jar") with hot water while I prepare her lunch, it keeps her food hotter for a longer period of time. When all the food prep is complete and packaged I just empty the jar, dry it out, and load it up. Other things about this box that I adore... • Yes, the lid is INTENDED to be a serving bowl! If you don't like eating from the containers or if you have to mix something before eating it then by all means flip the lid over and use it as a bowl. • The carrying bag is sturdy and well constructed, and large enough to carry not only the lunch jar but a juice pack, juice box, or milk box fits nicely on top (along with a napkin or two). Slide the lariat closed and it stays nicely in place, safe and easily transportable with the rest of your lunch. • It comes with a stainless steel spork, which was really nice. Unfortunately my daughter accidentally threw hers away when she was younger, but I found a nice titanium spork to take its place and she loves using that. The spork fits in a little "pouch" that's sewn inside of the carrying bag. • It's pretty durable. My daughter's lunch box has a bunch of dents and such where she's tossed it around in her back pack, but the vacuum seal is still intact and it holds its temperature as good as it ever did. • The lid and latching mechanism is especially durable. Because it's plastic I expected the latches to be the first things to fail, but after five years they still latch as tightly and positively as ever. Never once has the latch accidentally released, even after being dropped. • It's dishwasher safe. Simply remove the soft seal and ventilation plug from the bottom-most container, and all of the pieces (containers, lids, jar lid, and spork) can go in the dishwasher. The container itself shouldn't be dishwashed lest the high temperature of the dishwasher disrupt the vacuum seal, but it's also easy enough to hand wash so it's not a big deal at all. The soft seals can be easily washed with a sponge and left to air dry, and they pop back into the lid with no effort. (And replacement seals are available, should yours get lost or damaged.) Even the carrying bag can go in the laundry! • The carrying bag can be slung over a shoulder, carried upright by a handle, or packed in a school backpack. • With four containers I can provide a nice assortment of the hot and cool foods my daughter loves. She often tells me that her friends are always offering to trade lunches with her because her lunches are so much nicer than the school lunches. :-) We've established a system where the top container always has a dessert (cookies, brownie bites, etc), one down has a fruit (apples, peaches, grapes, strawberries, etc) and a vegetable (string beans, peas, cucumbers, pickles, etc), and the remaining two have the main entree (protein) and starch (rice, pasta, potatoes). Her favorite lunch is broiled salmon (lower-most container) with rice pilaf (one up), snap peas and strawberries (one up), and chocolate cupcake (top-most container), with a Capri Sun to drink. Willing trade-offs and caveats... • It's heavier than a "traditional" lunch box owing to its stainless steel construction. My daughter willingly accepts the trade-off, however; she's more than happy to deal with the bit of extra weight in exchange for having a tasty hot lunch at school. • The containers can't be rearranged; they must go in a specific order. This creates certain logistical issues. If you wanted to (for example) use only the large container for something hot and have cool things everywhere else, you can't. Whatever is under the large container will also be hot (or warm) and you can't put the large container on the bottom of the jar because the lid won't fit. (Unless you also remove one of the other containers; that would work.) I would totally buy this again and again without hesitation. I love it, my daughter loves it, her teachers have bought them for themselves, and some of her friends and schoolmates have gotten them as well. This may be the perfect student lunch box.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Lunch Box
*by J***G on September 9, 2007*

Before buying Mr. Bento, I've searched all the other lunch boxes offered by Amazon and analyzed how I would use it (being an engineer, these things interest me). I chose Mr. Bento over the Thermos model since I really liked the idea of having hot and room temperature food all in the same container (from reviews of the Thermos brand, it keeps all the containers warmer than Mr. Bento). I liked it so much after a week of use that I bought a second one so that I can pre-pack dry food for multiple days. Thermal capacity is really good, when I pre-heat the sleeve and bottom two containers with boiling water. With bottom container full of near-boiling liquid/soup, it is still very hot five hours later and keeps the main container warm enough. Without hot soup there, bottom two containers are warm, but not as hot as I would like it to be. When I'm not packing soup, I would fill the soup bowl with boiling water, which keeps the main container nice and hot. The top two smaller pop-top containers are meant for room-temperature food, though the bottom of the two gets a bit warm. I found that using a micro-fiber towel cut to fit to separate between the hot and cool containers, help the upper containers stay closer to room temperature. Without the towel separation, my tomatoes and cherries packed in the bottom of the two pop-top containers out of the refrigerator gets a bit warm. I have not yet used it to pack cold food in all the containers, but would expect to be perform better than hot food application due to lesser temperature difference. I did find that soup bowl gets a bit hard to turn when tightened hard and when the container is wet, but found that pulling on the top as opening helps. Upper two pop-top type containers are better sealing than the reviews indicate. Carry bag is definitely very cool and functional, though it makes me swing it around as I'm carrying it (containers don't leak if used per Manufacturer's directions). It allows me to pack some health bars and napkins, as well as put a fruit packet or one additional pop-top containers on top and close it up (making it almost five container Mr. Bento for long days in the office). It can be used to carry real spoon, if you are not happy with the spork IMHO not as nice as using a real spoon. Spork is very nice stainless steel, made in Japan, and great back-up when I forget to pack utensils. After using for over a month, would agree with other reviewers that this is really a great item and would last quite a long time. With Mr. Bento, Nissan Thermos full of home-roasted Americano style coffee, I'm ready to hit the work hard at the office and don't have to worry about keeping my stomach happy. To those home packing to lose weight, trying to eat healthier meals, or just sick of cafeteria food or fast food......Mr. Bento will be a great investment.
