Sushi Bento Lunch Box

A bento box is a Japanese lunch box which contains a single portion of a balanced meal. Usually, the meal consists of protein, noodles or rice and side dishes like fruit and vegetables. These stylish containers are often used as a packed lunch box in offices or schools. A bento box can be filled at home, but they’re also available in Japanese restaurants. For an authentic feel, the Kelly Loves bento box is ideal for storing your homemade sushi.

Yes, the Kelly Loves bento box is designed to reheat precooked foods. This is really handy, because you don’t need to transfer the food to another vessel to microwave it when you’re removing it from a fridge or lunch bag. It’s also useful if you’ve brought food into the office to reheat. 

But remember: don’t ever use a bento box to cook food in a microwave oven; it’s just for reheating. And never use a bento box in a conventional oven (even on a low heat).

Yes, our bento box is dishwasher safe. If you have a dishwasher, it’s great to be able to pop the bento box in at the end of the day, getting it squeaky-clean before you use it for food again. Where possible, try to place it on the top shelf or where delicate items go.
