Ranking among Amazon’s bestsellers, Freshmage Stainless Steel Bento Box Set comes with enough space to satisfy your hunger. It’s a rectangular 3-in-1 stackable bento lunch box with food-grade stainless steel trays, covered with a chemical-free case, sealed with a clasp on each side.
Food-wise, the bottom compartment can carry 800 mL (no divider), the middle one can keep 300 mL (divided equally into two rooms), and the top tray can accommodate 200 mL (100 mL on each divider). That’s 1,300 mL of food! And that’s more than what you would usually find within its price range.
The silicone ring under each bento makes this food container from Freshmage leak-proof. It’s relatively easy to maintain this set. Although you can throw them all inside your dishwasher, remove the top lid, and it’s all good. You can also reheat your leftovers using this bento lunch box (just detach the tray and pour the food into the plastic container, and it’s all good!).

Cleaning Freshmage Stainless Steel Bento Box Set is one thing. Assembling it all back together is another. It can be time-consuming figuring out how to fit in the silicone ring again. And unlike other stainless steel bento lunch boxes, there’s no double-walling, so insulation isn’t as effective. Opening/closing the clasps are also hard to do, especially if you plan to get this for your little ones.
It’s a bento stack-up set. Don’t get this if you want a convertible food container that you can also use as a single bento. The lid only works for the entire set, not as per tray.
You can have this stainless steel bento lunch box set by Freshmage for roughly $22. Considering its overall value, you get more than its cost.
