I have a container for my midmorning soup, lunch stuff and dessert space. In the morning, I packed my lunch and brought it to work. also very good for picnics, if you pack the containers pretty full, you definitely have enough food for two. All in one container with a bag where you can fit utensils. At 2pm, when I've already worked pass my lunch hour my food was still hot. And since I like to munch on things as often as I can, this was great because it can hold so much food and keep all them separate.
As soon as I saw it was a nono. Is like going around with a gallon of food. I liked this idea but item is huge in real life. You can put food for a whole family.
I have not used it as regularly as I would like because of the preparation time in the morning to heat the bento with hot water and heat the food. By lunchtime, the hot food is warm to steamy but not hot--still tasty though. If it bothered me enough, I would put the top bowl in the refrigerator at work.
I love the chopsticks w/case that fit so nicely on the side of the bento jar. in the bowl as well as put the side dish w/bowl in the refrigerator until the last minute before I leave for work. I was excited to receive my Zojirushi Classic Lunch Jar/Bento after the reviews I read.
By lunchtime, the cold section is room temp or warm, but that's okay. I do find that the bento jar/chopsticks are great in helping with portion control if you are trying to watch your weight. I would have liked the soup bowl to have been slightly larger, found the middle section for the rice/main meal to be very ample as well as the top bowl, but I have yet been able to keep anything in the top bowl that starts out cold from getting warm from heat of the main bowl.
I have tried putting the top bowl in the freezer before putting the salad or fruit, etc.
Benton. I love my other Bento so I decided to purchase another one. This would be perfect for lunch while camping or for construction site.not fitting for girlie girls like myself. The Bowls were all larger and theres only 3 vs oher Bento that has 4 holders. I received the classic in the mail and I was extremely disappointed. Im sure it works well but it was so masculine that I decided to return it.Ill stick with my smaller Mr.
It did not work out too good for me but I may be asking too much. Because I work outside and I keep the container in my truck - which can be very cold in the winter - the food don't stay hot for a long time. I usually pack my food - hot - around 6.30 am and by 12.00 noon the food is cold.
