Bentgo Stainless Steel Insulated Food Container, Leak-Proof, 19 fl oz | Triple-Layer Insulation, Vacuum Seal, Built-In Handle, Wide Opening, Hot & Cold Foods (Aqua)

My family and I were going to a museum that was an hour and a half away from our house. We had plans to get dinner nearby but didn't want to eat museum food for lunch. We bought a different Bentgo to keep food warm when we went to amusement parks and our only issue was that it wasn't big enough. This one was PERFECT! We filled it up with some chicken tenders from home and when we opened it four hours later, the food was still warm! I should've put a paper towel in there to combat the condensation which led to sogginess of the top layer, but the rest was great! It's easy, and fun, to use. Our 5 year old said it feels like opening a time capsule. A week after the museum trip, we brought soup to a sick family member and she was impressed with how long it was able to keep the heat in. It's very easy to clean thanks to it's wide moutha nd simple parts. The quality is perfect, and the weight is great!

It has the perfect size, not too big and not too small ideal for packing a good portion of food. I use it for my son’s school, and it works very well. It keeps food warm for about 4 hours, which is great for making sure his lunch stays warm until mealtime. Good quality and very practical.

I am so glad that I bought this thermal. I loved it so much that I bought 4 of them! And I’ll probably buy more. I tested how long this thermal kept warm by adding boiling water to the thermal and close it. I checked on it 3 times within a 24 hours period. After 6 hours, the water was still hot and steaming. After 12 hours the water was still a good hot temperature but not burning to the touch. But definitely hot. And then after 24 hours the water was no longer steaming or hot but Luke warm. My kid’s school do not have hot lunch services. We have to pack our kids a lunch. They do have a microwave but the lines for the microwave is so long. By the time my kids are able to heat up their foods, time is up for lunch. So I bought these thermals so that I can prepare hot meals for my kids. And 9/10 times, the meals that I have packaged for my kids are still yummy hot when they open the containers for lunch 4-5 hours after I packaged them. These thermals are NOT microwave safe! They wash very easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Someone from another review recommended that we fill the container up with boiling water first, close it, leave the water for 5-10min, dump the hot water out, then add your hot foods to the container. Don’t forget to push down on the middle button on the lid for a good seal. If you don’t do this, your top might pop off if it is tipped on the side or upside down. I had to learn this the hard way. At first I thought that the price was expensive for the product. But after using the product for several months now, it is worth every penny. I have bought more since. This would be great for road trips and picnics too, not just to pack lunches. Works for cold foods too. But my kids like hot foods so I mostly make only hot foods to put in the container.

I bought this to transport hot meals to work for lunch and it does a fantastic job. I was worried that it might be too small, but it's just the right size for me. It does keep my food warm. Some mentioned it leaking heat. It does leak some heat out of the top so I wouldn't put it near something you want to keep cold. It is hard for me to open. There is a handle on the top, but no handle anywhere on the body. So, it tends to twist together when you try to unscrew it. I've found along with pushing the release button that I have to hold the body between my legs to get the proper pressure to keep it from turning. There is a trick to getting it to screw closed correctly. I found that because my hot food is putting off steam, the lid doesn't always screw down correctly and would always pop out of the track.. What works is to screw the lid part way down, press the release button and then screw it down the rest of the way.

I have purchased these multiple times and even given them as gifts. Loyal customer for 10 + years or so. This Bentgo bento box is one of the best lunch containers for keeping meals organized and easy to pack. The compartments work really well for separating foods, and the leak-resistant design holds up impressively well during daily use. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, and practical for both kids and adults. It also travels well for school, work, or outings without creating a mess. Overall, it’s a reliable, high-quality lunch solution that makes meal prep and packing much easier.

Outcome- Disappointed! Food MUST be Eaten Immediately for food to be hot! For Full Review: Continue: *** BUYER BEWARE: Disappointed in this Product And I Rarely Use it Due To The Following: After 1 hour, This product only keeps food barely “tepid” which means: Less than warm. I’ve tried to preheat the container with boiling water (then emptying) prior to filling with oatmeal, soup, stew, etc. I’ve tried preheating in oven on lower temperature prior to filling with food ( then I wrap with kitchen towel for travel) to maintain internal heat— I’ve tried wrapping in foil for travel, nothing works! ***The best outcome is a barely warm meal EVEN if I put food in the container minutes before departure. ***ALSO- it is very difficult for me to open (even after pressing the release button on top of lid) let alone a child or elderly person. It is nice looking, BPA free, easy to hand wash— I did not place in dishwasher. Bentgo needs to start all over with this product!

Update: After discovering that this container didn't keep food warm after the 3.5 hour mark, my daughter gave up on this container. She was particularly peeved that her lunch was just slightly warmer than room temp on a particularly cold day, even despite the container being in her backpack in her heated classrooms. We ended up returning it and she went back to her smaller narrow-topped Thermos food container, which kept her lunches piping hot. The Bentgo Stainless Insulated Food Container is everything my daughter wanted in a food container. It has a wide-mouth opening, holds the perfect amount of food (about 2 cups), is conveniently shaped and sized to fit in her backpack, and the lid is one piece instead of two and is apparently easy enough for her to open. While aesthetically everything she wanted it to be, the one thing she didn't love about it was how long it kept her food warm. Even after prepping the container with hot water and allowing it to sit for some time to "prime it", the container wasn't able to keep her meal hot by the time she ate it. Her food was warm, but not steaming, and while it was much better than eating lunch from a Pyrex meal prep container, it wasn't nearly as warm as food put in a Thermos food container. If you eat your meals within 2 hours, the meal will likely be very warm, but at the 5-hour mark, it will only be "kinda warm" - it was for her at least. When keeping things cool, the Bentgo container works great. Overall, while we'll keep this container because she loves the size and shape, we're still on the lookout for a wide-mouth container of this size that keeps food hot.

The canister’s wide mouth opening makes it easy to fill and clean. The handle makes it easier to close. Prewarming with boiling water helped it hold the temperature. Holds an adult size of food. People have said it’s too heavy, when it is full of soup it can be heavier but my 8 year old takes it to school no problem. Being short and wide minimize the space it takes up on the shelf

Great container. Make sure you preheat it (eg fill with hot water and let sit for several minutes) prior to putting hot food in - as it will stay hot longer if you do. Easy to wash.

big with the best quality , beautiful It keeps food warm for about 5 hours

Bought two of these for hot lunches for both of my teenagers. Best ones I’ve found! And at an affordable price. Durable, and keep their food hot.

As per description- leak proof 👍 great size for my lunch pack.
