Spill resistant Bento box?

Submitted by TheNiceSerealKiller t3_1147cuw in BuyItForLife

Hi there!

I'm in the market for some new lunch gear and would prefer to move from plastic into metal! But i do often have some liquid in my lunches (soups, stews, and the like) and so would look for something that won't just leak all over my bag. Preferably Canadian but doesn't have to be!

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

They make bento boxes too?? Damn! I love my rice cooker, this might be worth checking out.

Yes, it looks almost like a tiny trash can. Comes with multiple containers, bottom ones designed to keep hot as the bento box itself is an insulated steel container, top ones are in a less insulated area because of the lid (screw-on/has a good seal). They have one that comes with chopsticks and another one that comes with a spork I think.

Seems like a job for a tiffin

Metal (stainless steel) Tiffins are hit or miss for me. The ones that are cheap and readily available are usually only single wall, no insulation so they don’t hold heat, and you can’t microwave them safely because they’re metal. Double-wall/insulated ones are way harder to come by and are waaaay more expensive. At least in North America.

If you want to carry a liquid then why not go for a Stanley flask

This is the best answer for liquids, I got a “set”with a coffee flask and a food flask for Christmas and they’ve been amazing!

IKEA. TBH I don't think a 'bento box' is meant to contain soup or stew.
