bento

[rm]

gina_r_snape just posted about her bento box, and you know what, I really need one, but I want a more traditional, square one for bringing lunches to work.

Where do I find one online? Criteria, as above, also, not the ugly one "in primary colors as seen on Rachel Ray" that's all over the Internet. Finally, at least some inner compartments must be microwaveable.

Thnx.

Hey! :-)

Zojirushi has a few smaller round bento boxes. If you search amazon for bento, though, there are a few square ones available. Don't know if they are microwavable or not.

Good luck! :-)

btw, I was in Whole Foods two days ago and their gluten free section is back in action, though you probably already know that...

Here's some. (http://www.jbox.com/SEARCH/bento) Although, it looks like most of them have Hello Kitty or some other little characters on it. And they look smallish.

Ebay is a good place. Also, don't be worried about the size--they may seem smallish, but I've found I can still pack in enough food to feed D, who runs a ton and so burns lots of calories.

I don't know offhand of any square snap-closed microwaveable ones (that don't just look like a piece of tupperware with compartments), just round: the Zojirushi ones are poplar. I will look around Japantown and see if I find anything for you, though.
