Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless Steel Lunch Jar Free Shipping

Over All Rating Reviews :

Bought this over a year ago, have used it a fair amount, and I'm pleased with it overall.

PROS:

The thermos jar does a good job maintaining temperature. The container most likely to contain hot food (the big one) fits second from the bottom.

The bag is really useful- it makes it easy to carry and provides a place to stash utensils and a napkin (unlike other thermos jars).

The combination of container sizes is good. There's a big one, two medium ones, and a little one- main dish, two sides, and a snack.

CONS:

The "soup" container- the little bowl with the rubber seal- doesn't work well. To get a good watertight seal, you need to close it so tight that it's almost impossible to open without spilling. Also the rubber seal, like all rubber seals, picks up food and odors and is tricky to clean. I ended up removing the seal and using the container for dry food like trail mix or veggies.

OTHER:

Because all the smaller containers are inside one large thermos jar, you can either pick hot or cold, not both. If you pack a hot entree, your sides will also warm up a bit. If you put carrot sticks and cookies in with hot pasta, they will not be cold at lunchtime.

The packaging says that the containers are not dishwasher safe. I've been putting them in the dishwasher regularly, and they're fine. Just treat them like any other plastic dish (keep them away from the heating element).

The big "main dish" container is not ideal for sandwiches, because it's round. It's great for rice (its intended use), or leftovers- noodles, mac and cheese, curry, whatever, as long as it's not too soupy (the container's not watertight). If you leave that container out, the next container in the stack rests on the rim of the jar without sliding down. This leaves space for a sandwich or a bagel or whatever, as long as it's roughly the same size as the external dimensions of the missing container.

If you leave out the top containers, there's room for a piece of fruit or a bag of chips under the lid instead.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

This is really a good, useful product, with lots of room to pack a filling and varied meal, but keep your expectations reasonable. The "soup" container is not terribly useful, so if you want to pack soup, pack a full serving in a different thermos. You can keep your whole lunch at a good temperature together, but not two different temperatures. The rice container is great for rice; if you're not packing rice (or similar), don't use it.

i thought this was the cutest thing and my daughter loves it. it's a great size for her school snack, not so bulky as a whole lunch box, but she can fit a few snack size things in there plus a juice box. the interior is lined so any leaks should stay contained unless they drip out the top. my only complaint is that it's not thermal lined, so you really have to put a cold pack in side if you have something that needs to say cold like yogurt or a cold drink.

I bought it almost a year ago. It costed me 65 dollars at the time. I prepare lunch for my 3.5 year old daughter when she goes to her preschool. I use it for warm food and cold food. All teachers in the school love it and some teachers bought it for their children. It is really good.

Now, I have more time in weekends. I just bought three more because the price is half way down. I am going to use them for picnics in weekends. Sitting by a beach and eat my own prepared food, clean, safe and healthy. Great product.

So far, have used it for soups, salads, casseroles, vegetables, meats, rice and fruit. Facilitates grazing through out the workday or for a nicely sized meal all at once.

Everyone who sees it, wants one.

Low Price Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless Steel Lunch Jar

Over All Rating Reviews :

I got this so I could have more vegetables with my meals. I have ordered Laptop Lunch before but found their boxes to be too small.

This one comes in a box, with a bag, a metal container, 4 plastic containers and a spork (spoon/fork combo). The lids fit well.

The first day my husband and I took it to work, both our container fell sideways, and I am happy to find that nothing leaked (one of the containers contained soup, one an entree with gravy, and one container with a juicy fruit).

We don't put hot food in there, because we have access to microwaves at work. The hardest part for me was figuring out how to get all the heated food from the common room microwave back to my office. The method I use now is I just leave the cold stuff at my desk, and bring just the containers that need to be heated to the microwave (Note: the lid isn't microwaveable). Then I put the lids back on all the hot stuff, then put them into the metal container and bring it back to my desk. Now I have a nice well-balanced and attractive meal!

The containers look small, but when you use all 4 containers, it's a little too much food for me!

Making a well-balanced meal was also a pleasant surprise, it is much easier than I expected. Usually we have some leftovers, then I add fruit, add some veggies in another container, heat up some soup in the morning and then let them all cool before putting them into the containers.

The only suggestion is that I would have liked a space to put some blue ice to keep everything cool.

Over All Rating Reviews :

Actually getting food into and out of this container is a REAL PAIN. The four clasps are extremely tight and it takes a lot of pressure to close them. And opening it is another adventure... especially the top lid. It is so tight that it really takes a LOT of effort to pry off, and I'm not a weak person! I'm constantly worried that the force used to remove the top lid will result in the spilling of its contents all over myself and the table. A real disappointment, I'm going to keep looking for other non-plastic containers and stop using this one.

Catalog Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless Steel Lunch Jar

Over All Rating Reviews :

For those of you who may not know, this system is very similar to the stainless steel stacking lunch jars which make their rounds in India. The "tiffin tins" are delivered to businesses by bicycle and typically contain various vegetarian curries/vegetables along with jasmine-steamed basmati rice in another of the stacked tin levels. This is an excellent (though not overly cheap) replacement for those who might want to try this style of "brown-bagging." I, for one, purchased this in order to force myself to bring my own lunch rather than going out to eat. This worked very well for me, where I would fill one container with salad, soup, or yogurt with berries. Then I put some chicken or other meat in one layer, perhaps some crackers and cheese in another, and then some carrots/celery (or, ahem, a cookie or two) to top it off. You can bundle all of that up in the container and happily go to work, knowing that you are set for eats for the entire day even if the day is a long one. One word of caution, while one of the stack-able containers is perfect for soup (with a rubber gasket, and steam-release one-way valve), in general it is good practice not to invert this guy too much. I have found on a few occasions (over the past two years of use) that this can lead to salad dressing from other compartments spilling into the main jar. This wouldn't be a big deal, other than you just need to clean the main jar at the end of the day as well. Great product and perfect way to maintain your eating habits.

I bought this product for almost half the price at my local store here in Virginia. However, if you don't live near a place sometimes it is worth the markup to order online.

It is a cute little box. You can use the separate areas or you can remove them and use the box open. I like the way the lid pops on. Be careful as the lid can crack. I've noticed a few cracks on mine. Would not recommend using in the dishwasher as that would probably be worse. Cute bag! Great size if you are portioning, but not as small as some.

Bargain sale Zojirushi Ms. Bento Stainless-Steel Vacuum Lunch Jar

Over All Rating Reviews :

I have a Mr. Bento and really do like it, but it's pretty big and I don't always want that much food. The Ms. Bento is just about perfect for those days I want eat a little bit lighter. The bag is terrific and has enough extra room in there to throw in a small piece of fruit or little Tupperware containers for dressing, etc., something I can't do with the spouse. It keeps things cold or warm (not hot after a few hours, but warm's not bad) as advertised, though I tend to keep everything cold and nuke the portions I need heated as I rarely want everything hot, and putting the salad in the same jar with the piping hot soup is not a great idea. If you have a big appetite, this is probably not the Bento you need, but if you don't, this is perfect.

Cheapest 650ml Lunch box bento box with a bag / G - Made in Japan

Over All Rating Reviews :

I recently got interested in the bento box rage and decided to check it out. This is my first "real" bento, although I have been packing my lunch in various containers for years. When I opened the box I was first struck by how pretty the design is--the reason I chose this particular bento in the first place. Secondly I was startled and angered by the small size for the price. I did not research just how big "650 ml" was and was thinking it would be a fairly large oblong with at least a large sandwich sized container and two fairly good sized snack containers partitioned off.

I did think the box was well made, a nice sturdy plastic with secure feeling snaps. The inner boxes are also sturdy and fit well. The bag is also quite cute, and may hold a small granola bar in with the bento. But I still was angry at the size for the price.

Finally, I did some research on the bento concept as put forth by the Japanese. I found that this bento is the size actually recommended for one meal for my age and height. 650 ml translates to 650 calories if the bento is packed with the Japanese mind set and not the usual American fatty fare. Well, I decided to test the accuracy of this, just to prove that the box was overpriced and useless for an adult.

Did I get a surprise! I prepared a meal with the Japenese recommendations in mind. I put a rice combo in the large container. I measured out the cooked rice combo in a standard measuring cup, then filled the large compartment. It held half cup of the rice combo. I filled the other two compartments with carrots and fruit, thinking that this would not be enough to fill me. To my surprise, I found that I was satisfied, not stuffed the way I normally feel when I pack this the usual way (with about triple the amount of rice), but not hungry. I also had to admit to myself that my old portions were actually way too big calorie wise--the bento portions were actually ideal for weight control. I am a visual person, so having a container that "shows" me the correct portion size is a big help. I always tend to overguess otherwise. Previously I had eaten enough calories in one meal to almost make the entire daily total of what I should be eating. Turns out the 650 ml is just right for one meal -about 650 calories if packed the recommended way.

I have since gone through most of my other containers and took note of the ml. According to the Japanese standard, they are huge, and I was packing several of them. No wonder I could not seem to lose weight as I thought I should! See [...] for the recommended sizes.

I do not believe it is necessary to have an expensive Japanese bento to eat according to healthy guidelines. You could easily find a correct sized rubbermaid box for less, but I personally benefit from seeing and handling the smaller Japanese bento boxes. I still think it is a bit overpriced--but I would buy it again to help with my portion control. And the cute design and bag.

Buying Zojirushi Ms. Bento Stainless-Steel Vacuum Lunch Jar

Over All Rating Reviews :

My husband and I typically use several containers of tupperware for our lunches, so I thought we'd give this a shot. Does keep food warm if you preheat the 'tube' and the containers as stated. However, by 6 hours it was just warm, and not nearly as hot as expected. Although the Ms. Bento size surprised me, each container seems so small, we are more than full by the end of our lunch meals.

Make sure to pack items that will fill you up though. You have to think what your packing. The main container holds rice and a main with sauce very well, and I suggest using mostly rice or noodles as a base.

We're still playing with food combinations, but we love them. Even the spork is good quality.

Only complaint is you have to hand wash everything and the grease from foods takes a while to scrub off.

I'm only on my fourth Mr. Bento lunch day, but already I'm loving it! The only complaint I have is that the upper two bowls with the snap on lids don't stay cold. It's difficult to mix hot and cold the way that this is designed. You either need to make a cold/room temp lunch or warm/room temp lunch. There are some ingenious ways you can mix temperatures though, from making a metal disk out of roof flashing to reflect heat to freezing yogurt or pudding into the lower of the two upper bowls to keep them cool. I've found that works very well, my yogurt is defrosted by lunch time and the upper bowl has in turn been kept cold, but the lower two bowls are still piping hot. I haven't found that freezing yogurt has any unappetizing affect on the yogurt's texture or taste.

The bowls are indeed quite large, and even with a vegetarian diet (generally considered to be low-calorie), I have no problems stuffing my Mr. Bento with 800-900 calories worth of food. That's a very large meal! I usually eat 400-500 in one sitting, so I use some bowls for lunch and others for snacks. The possibilities in combinations are endless, and I'm enjoying coming up with new ideas for snacks and meals. Today was mulligatawny soup, quinoa with fresh mozzarella and eggplant-tomato ragu, yogurt with pineapple and granola, and chickpea salad. The outer pocket on the carrying case is the perfect place to fit my 3pm protein bar and is useful for carrying napkins and a sandwich bag of granola so it doesn't get mushy.

I'm not really in need of keeping foods hot or cold at work since we have both a fridge and microwave, though both are questionable in regards to cleanliness. It's nice not to have to "heat and eat", since I can do that in the morning when I pack the jar. I just open up my Mr. Bento and start eating. Neat! Mr. Bento's usefulness really comes into play after bike races. My teammates will be sitting around nibbling on a sports bar and protein shake, meanwhile I'm stuffing my face with hot daal, basmati rice and garlic naan. Can we say jealous!??!

Yes, $40+ might be a bit much for a lunch box, but I figure I only need to bring my lunch 4x a week for 2 weeks to break even on eating out. Plus, I tend to pack much healthier foods and I know what the calorie content is of everything in my lunch jar... something that can't be said when dining out.
