The Bentgo Glass Lunch Box is a premium choice for those who prefer to avoid plastic contact with their food. The base is made from non-porous Borosilicate glass, which is highly resistant to thermal shock. This allows you to move the container from a -4°F freezer directly to a microwave or oven without risk of shattering. Glass also offers the benefit of being naturally resistant to odors and staining, which is a common issue with plastic containers when storing tomato-based or highly spiced meals.
The lid is constructed from a Polypropylene frame with a Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) seal. Specifications indicate that for a full leak-proof seal, users should apply central downward pressure on the lid before engaging the locking clips. To prolong the life of the seal, hand-washing the lid is recommended to prevent shrinkage. The internal dividers are also lined with silicone, which helps isolate liquids between sections and prevents cross-contamination. Notable features include:
- Oven-safe Borosilicate glass base for versatile cooking.
- Divided 3-compartment design with independent seals.
- Stain and odor resistant material for long-term purity.
This unit weighs approximately 2.1 lbs when empty, which is significantly heavier than plastic models. If you need a lighter option for a school backpack, the Bentgo EasyBoxes provide a similar three-compartment layout in a lightweight polymer.
