FAQs
Is the Monbento Original Bento Box truly leak-proof?
Yes, the Monbento Original features hermetically sealed containers with gaskets, designed to prevent leaks and spills when properly closed and secured with the elastic band.
Can I reheat food in the bento box?
Yes, the containers are microwave-safe. However, you must remove the top lid and ensure the intermediate lid (with gasket) is also removed or at least very loosely placed, allowing steam to escape.
How do I clean the graphic design on the lid?
The top lid features graphics that are best preserved by hand washing only with mild soap and water. Avoid dishwashers, abrasive cleaners, and high heat.
What is the total capacity of the bento box?
The Monbento Original Bento Box has a total capacity of 1000ml, divided between its two containers.
Are the materials used safe for food?
Yes, the bento box is made from BPA-free (in compliance with regulations) and 100% recyclable materials, ensuring it is safe for storing and consuming food.
Can I freeze meals in this bento box?
Yes, the bento box is freezer-safe, making it suitable for meal prepping and storing food in advance.
Do I need to buy a separate bag for this bento box?
While not strictly required, Monbento offers matching MB Pocket Bento Bags that are designed to fit the Original bento box, providing extra protection and easier portability.
Troubleshooting
Box is leaking or not sealed properly.
Ensure the gasket on the intermediate lid is correctly seated and clean. Check that both containers are firmly pressed together. The elastic band must be tight enough to keep the containers sealed.
Food smells linger after washing.
Wash all components thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use. For persistent odors, try a baking soda and water paste, let it sit for a few hours, then rinse well. Ensure seals are removed and cleaned separately, and the box is stored with lids ajar.
Graphics on the top lid are fading.
The top lid must be hand-washed only. Avoid using a dishwasher, microwave (for the top lid), or abrasive cleaning materials, as these can damage the graphics.
Difficulty opening or closing containers.
Ensure the seals are properly aligned and not obstructed by food particles. If new, the seals may be tight; repeated use will loosen them slightly. Ensure the box is not overfilled.
