Item Description

Ready to say goodbye to plastic baggies and other potentially toxic plastic food containers? Try this three-in-one stainless steel bento box.

This nifty BPA-free lunchbox is great for packing a child's lunch, which typically contains three items: a sandwich and two side dishes. Most children prefer their foods served separately because they don't like them mixed up, so this bento box-style lunchbox fits the bill perfectly. (It's great for adults, too, as long as serving sizes aren't too big.) 

This is a two-layer stainless steel bento box with an inner box on the top. It's dishwasher safe and contains no plastic. The closures are kid-tested and will not snap little fingers. 

When closed, the lunchbox measures 4 inches wide, 5 1/2 inches long and 2 3/4 inches high. The bottom layer is an inch deep and fits a whole sandwich on sliced bread. The top layer is 1 1/2 inches deep and fits cut fruit, dry snacks, pasta or salad. 

The small inner box, which can hold half a cup of wet foods, is good for applesauce, cut fruit and salads, but its pressure fitting stainless steel lid is not 100% leak-proof because no plastic is used. Made in India. 

- Independently lab tested as lead-free, food-safe, series 205 stainless steel. Made in India.
