Of Japanese origin, today bento is popular all over Asia and, increasingly, the world. The bento box is designed to carry this meal, and is a popular storage option for lunches on the go. In terms of performance, the lids are easy to use, and they seal the containers securely, so there are no leaks or drips when you’re storing food. They’ll keep your food fresh, whether you’re stashing leftovers or prepping herbs and spicesfor a recipe. We were pleased to discover that these containers distribute heat evenly in the oven and the microwave (we reheated a casserole and found no hot or cool spots).

While this box doesn't come with utensils, there is some space to store a coordinating Monbento cutlery set right under the lid. This bento box is dishwasher, microwave, and freezer-safe to make transporting and reheating your food a breeze, as well as cleanup when you're finished. Previous versions of this lunchbox included dividers, but they have been replaced with a small food cup. Monbento also offers a variety of food containers for both liquid and solid foods, all to match the elegant designs of the classic bento lunch box. Early bento lids were completely separate from the base of the box and often tied up in furoshiki, a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth, to help keep it secure. Today, tops of boxes are often more secure, with lids and seals that resemble other food containers. Tops can be held in place with clasps, airtight lids, or gaskets. Lids are also often hinged, making it easy to keep all parts of the box together. They vary in how leak- and splash-proof they are, so think about how much you’ll need to transport your bento box, and even how far ahead you'll want to prep your food; an airtight seal will help keep food fresher longer and will prevent food from spilling in your bag. Bento Glass Dinnerware is the Most Hygienic Dinnerware: Because Feeling Safe, Begins with the Material and its Surface The Bento Dinner Plate Collection by MyGlassStudio is an assortment of covered serving dishes based on the bento box design. A fusion of the Asian bento style dinnerware and the European fine dining dinner set. The collection includes a main course plate, appetizer plates, soup bowl, side dish plates and a cutlery case.Tight-fitting lids aren't always best: Although very snug lids may help avoid spills, they can make it difficult to open. The same goes for sauce container lids.

For a bento box that’s aesthetically pleasing and designed with little kids in mind, the Yumbox Original has some seriously well-thought-out features. This leakproof bento box is designed especially for kids, and careful attention was given to every detail, from the cute colors and illustrations to the easy-open latch. It's also important to note that traditionally, bento refers to both the type of box and the food it contains. “What goes into a bento can be as varied as the containers themselves, incorporating the entirety of Japan’s cuisines — if you can name it, it’s probably been put into a bento somewhere,” Anderson says. “Even at their most basic, there is an aesthetic sensibility to bento; they should have a certain balance to them and ideally that balance should be included in the visual impact of the bento as well as the flavor.” Food freshness: Apart from using each container in our regular routines, we conducted a "freshness test." We placed half a peeled and pitted avocado (cut side down) in each container, sealed it with the lid, and left it in the refrigerator for three days. After the three-day period, we observed the appearance of the avocado and recorded the results. We researched top-rated glass food storage containers in a variety of shapes and sizes before choosing over 20 of them to test in our home kitchens and dedicated Testing Lab. We stored leftovers of all kinds, used them in the refrigerator, freezer, microwave, and oven, and cleaned the containers according to the manufacturer's instructions. To evaluate their durability, we incorporated the storage containers into our regular routines, assessed the materials, and took note of any damage along the way. Enter the bento box: the traditional Japanese lunch box. “In Japan, bento has many forms and fulfills many different roles,” says chef Tim Anderson, author of JapanEasy Bowls & Bento. “They range from ho-hum, grab-and-go lunches to grand, colorful arrangements of dishes artfully assembled and imbued with symbolism, as in the extravagant osechi bento prepared for New Year’s celebrations.”You may think glass storage is just for use in the home or for storing leftovers, but there are a wide variety of options, including lighter-weight glass containers designed for taking lunch on the go. On the other hand, heavier glass containers are often treated to withstand high and low temperatures without breaking; these are a lifesaver for baking and freezing. So you're going to start meal prepping. Go you! But now you need meal prep containers — and you may not know where to start. Should you invest in expensive glass meal prep containers? Or is it okay to use leftover takeout containers? And how many do you actually need to buy? Fully equipped with a set of utensils, this bento box can travel to work or a picnic with ease. It has two generous compartments that can be modified with the two adjustable (and removable) dividers, great for keeping side dishes separated or sectioning fruits away from more savory foods. Also included is a small lidded container for sauce or dressing. Bernadette Machard de Gramont is a Los Angeles-based writer who specializes in global food and wine content. After a two-year stint at Williams-Sonoma Headquarters in San Francisco, she now researches and tests a variety of cookware, bakeware, and wine tools, and she interviews field experts for their insight. She personally tested eight of the items on this roundup.

The Bentgo Kids Lunch Box meets all these criteria, making it an ideal lunch box for children ages three to seven. The BPA-free plastic bento box has five compartments and can be used safely in the microwave and dishwasher. It boasts a tight seal to keep the various sections from leaking, and you open and shut the box with two secure, kid-friendly latches. Versatile compartments are a big plus: Bento boxes with multiple adjustable inner compartments make it easy to customize your little one's lunch. We also appreciated inserts that were removable, so you can divide the compartment in half for smaller items. Most importantly, everything should nestle together tightly so your child can easily transport it to school.Brigitt Earley is a writer and editor with more than 10 years of experience testing products for editorial inclusion. She tested six different sets for this list. Brigitt also holds a degree in culinary arts plus cooks multiple meals for her family of six every day of the week.

Great for meal prep, as the name implies, each of these containers has two compartments so you can portion ingredients for meals and keep them separate without having as many containers. The containers hold 29 ounces each, with one section larger than the other. These dividers make the containers great for storing a sandwich on one side and some veggies or fruit on the smaller side. This bento box is recommended for kids ages three to seven, and comes in three cute colors. Each box has five built-in compartments. Although these compartments are largely satisfactory, some are on the small side, which can limit your selection. The super small circle, for example, is really only adequate for a small treat—a few M&Ms or gummy bears, for example.It’s important that the box is easy to open and close: Bento boxes with latches that were difficult to open for small hands resulted in some spilled lunches. This really comes down to a personal decision. Glass is oven safe and heavy-duty but susceptible to breaking. Plastic is light and easy to store but stains and can degrade over time with microwave use. Plastics eventually reach the end of their shelf life and must be replaced, but they are lighter and easier to transport. With care, glass can be used for years without replacement, which means less garbage in our landfills. The set includes one 12.8-ounce container, one 21.6-ounce container, one 35.2-ounce container, and one 50.4-ounce container. The containers are safe for the microwave (just vent the lids) and for the oven up to a whopping 950 degrees Fahrenheit. Plus, they can go in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. Browse our selection and you’ll find multi-compartment plastic lunch boxes for sandwiches, salads and more, insulated lunch bags and cool bags to keep food fresh until lunchtime, leakproof boxes and even tubs with separate sections and dressing pots to prevent salads going soggy - because lunches can be so much more than sandwiches.
