The Modaniam bento set is constructed from 304 stainless steel, offering a high-durability alternative to plastic storage. This material provides superior corrosion resistance and does not absorb food odors or stains. The 5-compartment layout features internal divider heights designed to prevent different foods from mixing, which is a practical feature for maintaining meal quality during transport.
The lid is made from a polypropylene frame with a high-density silicone gasket designed for compression sealing. While this makes the box resistant to leaks for viscous items like yogurt or hummus, it is best stored flat when containing thin liquids. The latch clips are designed to provide a secure mechanical closure, ensuring the lid stays in place inside a bag or backpack.
Because it is made of steel, this unit has a higher thermal mass, which helps it maintain temperature longer if it is pre-chilled. It is important for users to remember that stainless steel is not for use in the microwave. The removable silicone seal allows for deep sanitation, and the entire unit is rated as top-rack dishwasher safe, making it easy to maintain over time.
If you need a container that can be used in the microwave, the collapsible silicone set is a microwave-safe alternative.
