Main Product Advantages
9 Versatility
The Bentgo Classic is suitable for various uses, including kids' and adults' lunches, portion control, meal planning, and field trips. It offers flexibility in packing different types of meals and sides.
9 Microwave and Dishwasher Safe
The Bentgo Classic is safe for microwave use (without the lids) and cleans well in the dishwasher, which adds to its convenience and usability.
9 Design
The lunch box features a sleek design with color-coordinated pieces, a stackable configuration, and integrated plastic utensils. It is BPA-free and has a durable build.
9 Ease of Cleaning
The box is generally easy to clean, with removable parts that can be washed separately. Staining on the silicone barrier can occur but does not affect functionality.
8 Portability
The box is compact and easy to carry. The elastic strap provides secure closure, but it must be used at all times to keep the compartments together, which may be inconvenient for some.
8 Capacity
The Bentgo Classic offers ample space for a whole meal, with a larger bottom container and a smaller top container with a divider. Some users find the capacity perfect for adult and child-sized portions.
8 Aesthetic Appeal
The Bentgo Classic is visually appealing with various color options and a modern design. However, this does not necessarily equate to functionality for some users.
7 Utensil Storage
While the included utensils are sturdy and useful, they can pop out of their holders if not placed correctly. This can be frustrating but is manageable.
6 Leak Prevention
The box is not fully liquid safe and may leak if tipped over, making it unsuitable for liquid-based foods. The lower compartment is more liquid-tight than the upper one.
Flexible Adult Bento Box
The Bentgo Classic - Adult Bento Box offers a stackable and flexible design which is ideal for adults on the go or heading to the office. The multiple layers allow you to separate warm and cold foods, or simply use one layer for smaller meals. These containers nest together, ensuring space-saving storage when not in use.
Perfect for Portion Control
This bento box is perfect for anyone embracing a new healthy lifestyle or engaging in meal prep. Each compartment is perfectly portioned, letting you know exactly how much you're eating. The top tray accommodates two ¾ cup portions, while the bottom tray fits 2 cups of food, making it easier to manage portions and meal sizes.
All-in-One Lunch Container
No need to worry about forgetting utensils or packing multiple lunch containers. The Bentgo Classic comes with a plastic utensil set and three varied food compartments, all held together with a nylon strap. This all-in-one solution simplifies your meal-carrying needs.
Portable and Lightweight
With dimensions of only 7 inches wide and 4 inches tall, this bento box is inspired by Japanese lunch box designs. It's compact enough to fit into any lunch bag while being able to carry a full breakfast, lunch, or dinner on the go.
Microwave and Dishwasher Safe
Heating and cleaning your meals is made easy as the main food containers are both top-rack dishwasher and microwave-safe. It's a notable convenience for those with busy lifestyles. It’s important to note that this does not apply to the Bentgo top lid, divider, or nylon sealing strap.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Bentgo Classic - Adult Bento Box is a highly practical and versatile solution for meal preparation and portion control. Its stackable design, inclusion of utensils, portability, and ease of cleaning make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to streamline their meal routines. Despite minor limitations with certain parts being non-microwaveable and non-dishwasher safe, the overall functionality and convenience of this bento box stand out.
