Bento Lunch Box
made by Aladdin
Lakeland Ref: 14302_13403
“Bring your own lunch” (BYOL) in the same way are BYOB (Bring your own bags) sure is a green way to go and neither of them are new. People used to bring their own shopping bags to trips to the stores before the advent of the paper or plastic carrier bag. The same was the case with lunch.
However, in the case of lunch this would mean a cold lunch consisting of a sandwich or two and anything else cold. Or it was soup in a thermos flask. In India lunch pails have been in use for a very long time, made of stainless steel (nowadays) that have different sections for the likes of Dahl, and other such foods as are the staple foods in India; the only disadvantage being that, if you want your lunch hot, and you do not have a wife to bring it out to your place of work for you, as is the case in India, you need a way of heating up the lunch.
So, are you fed up with sandwiches or want something more substantial now autumn is drawing in? Then let us introduce you to the Bento Box. Be it chilli and rice or chunky home-made soup, you can transport your lunch to work and it will stay lovely and hot for up to five hours. And if your lunch-hour is later than that, you can even pop it straight in the microwave for a quick heat up.
Aladdin has combined the principle of the Indian lunch pail with a means of keeping the food hot for about five hours in the Bento Lunch Box and made it into a very pleasing package.
With two separate sections and double-wall insulation, the Bento Boxes will also keep contents cold for up to four hours.
15cm (6") Dia. x 19cm (7½") H.
Another great products via the people in the English Lake District.
