Product Information

Full details

The Monbento MB Square bento lunch box in Green is designed for individuals seeking a stylish, sustainable, and practical way to transport their meals. Its key benefit is providing a large, two-tier, leak-proof system for separating and carrying a complete meal, complete with a separate sauce container. A minor caveat is that while compact, its 1700ml capacity might be more than some users require for lighter meals.

FAQs

What is the total volume of the MB Square bento box?

The total volume is 1700ml, divided into two 850ml compartments.

Is the included food cup also airtight?

The food cup is designed for separation and is not intended to be fully airtight on its own. It is best suited for items like dressings or small sides that do not require a perfect seal.

Can I put hot food directly into the bento box?

Yes, you can place hot food into the containers. They are microwave-safe for reheating. However, it's recommended to let extremely hot food cool slightly before sealing, especially if you plan to transport it immediately.

How long is the warranty period?

The Monbento MB Square bento box comes with a 3-year warranty.

Can I purchase replacement parts, like the elastic band or seals?

Replacement parts may be available directly from Monbento or authorized retailers. Please check their official website for availability.

What are the dimensions of the MB Square bento box?

While exact dimensions are not provided in the product information, it is described as compact for easy transport.

Is this bento box suitable for children?

The MB Square is designed for adults, with features like a secure locking mechanism that might be easier for adults to handle. For younger children, Monbento offers specific children's bento box designs.

Troubleshooting

Lunch box is not completely airtight.

Ensure the silicone seal on the intermediate lids is clean, properly seated, and undamaged. Check that the intermediate lids are firmly pressed down onto the containers.

Lids are difficult to open or close.

This can sometimes happen with new containers or after prolonged use. Ensure there is no food debris around the rim or seal. Gently flex the lid to ensure it's properly aligned.

Food is not heating evenly in the microwave.

Ensure the food is distributed evenly within the container and stir halfway through the reheating process. Do not place the outer lid in the microwave.

Discoloration of the plastic.

Certain foods, especially those with strong pigments (like tomato sauce or turmeric), can cause temporary discoloration. This is normal and does not affect the safety or performance of the container. Clean thoroughly after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The MB Square is ready to use straight out of the box. Simply ensure all components (two main containers, two inner lids, one food cup, and the exterior elastic band) are clean before first use.

Compatibility:

  • Monbento Accessories: Compatible with MB Pocket cutlery sets (which can fit under the lid) and MB Temple sauce pots (which slot into the main compartments). A matching MB Positive M water bottle is also available.
  • General Use: Suitable for microwave (remove outer lid), dishwasher (top rack recommended), and freezer.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wash by hand or in a dishwasher (top rack recommended). For longevity, hand washing is advised, especially for the inner lids to preserve the silicone seals.
  • Drying: Air dry completely or dry with a soft cloth before reassembling to prevent moisture buildup.
  • Microwave Use: Only the main PP containers and their inner lids are microwave-safe. *Never* microwave the outer lid or the elastic band. Ensure the food cup is also removed if not needed.
  • Freezer Use: Safe for freezer storage. Allow food to cool slightly before freezing. Ensure the box is not overfilled, as food expands when frozen.
