## Description

Zojirushi Ms. Bento Stainless Vacuum Insulated Lunch JarLunch on the GoWhether in the office or on the go, you can take a healthier, tastier, more interesting lunch with you thanks to Zojirushi's Ms. Bento Stainless Lunch Jar. One of the most versatile lunch boxes you'll ever come across, the Ms. Bento lunch jar comes with three different containers that allow you to pack a multi-course lunch of both hot and cold items easily and securely. The jar itself is made of stainless steel and is vacuum-insulated that houses three plastic containers with lids. The large soup bowl comes with gasket-sealed lid to prevent messy spills and is specially insulated to keep soup hot. All pieces should be washed by hand with non-abrasive cleaning pads. Inner bowls are microwave-safe. The lunch jar lid also locks to hold all the inner containers. The Ms. Bento also comes with a convenient carry bag with a strap for easy transport. A forked spoon is included with its own protective cover.Capacity: Main Bowl 10oz, Side Bowl 11 oz, Soup Bowl 7 oz.Dimensions: Container measures 10 by 6 by 6 inches.Ms. Bento FeaturesVacuum insulation keeps foods hot or cold for hoursDurable stainless steel construction with excellent heat retention3 microwaveable inner bowlsWashable nonstick coated outer containerIncludes forked spoon with cover and easy to carry tote bagBPA Free5 Year Warranty on Vacuum InsulationyGreat for Hot or Cold LunchesThe Ms. Bento is an excellent way to safely and conveniently pack lunch where microwave or refrigerator may not be available. The Ms. Bento allows you to compartmentalize your food and bring an entire meal, like a pasta dish, soup, salad and cookies in each separate bowl. You will appreciate the “greenness” of packing a lunch in our lunch jars, instead of using a paper bag or disposable containers.How does it keep food hot or cold?With Zojirushi's renowned vacuum insulation technology, air between the two thin layers of stainless steel on the outer container is removed, creating a vacuum. Because there is no air, the temperature on the outside does not transfer into the container; keeping foods hot or cold for hours.What's in the BoxSide BowlThe Ms. Bento comes with an 11-ounce side bowl that sits inside the lid. It is ideal for foods that should be kept room temperature, such as chips, nuts or snacks. The side bowl is not insulated.Main BowlThe 10-ounce main bowl is designed to hold the main course. The outer container's vacuum insulation and the insulated lid of the main bowl help keep foods hot or cold for hours without reheating or refrigeration.Soup BowlThe 7-ounce soup bowl has a unique lid that minimizes leaks and is ideal for holding soups, dips, or fruit cocktail. It sits at the bottom of the outer container, where vacuum insulation keeps the foods hot or cold for hours.Forked SpoonNever worry about forgetting your utensils. The Ms. Bento also includes a forked spoon with its own protective cover.

Review: I love the Ms Bento lunch jar! - This is a wonderful product and perfectly meets my packed lunch needs. When I recieved the Ms. Bento lunch jar, I was pleased to see it was just as described. The tote is roomy and sturdy. The spork is sturdy and has worked well with every type of food I have packed thus far. The containers seemed very small when I first opened them up, but I've been surprised how much they actually hold. I've used the center and top containers to hold a baked potato (cut into four pieces), a drained can of beans or other veggies, the strands from half of a small cooked spaghetti squash, etc. I would say they both hold approximately 1 cup while the bottom container holds a little more than 1/2 cup. The lids of the top and bottom containers sit on the top and outside of the bowl, so they can be filled to the top. The lid of the center container fits down into the bowl about 1/2 inch and must be turned to lock into place. That slightly decreases the volume it will hold. When I "forced" it over some chili, the lid locked, but the container leaked. Since then I have left room for the lid to lower into the bowl and lock. I have not placed any of the containers in the microwave, although they are microwave safe. Instead, I heat my lunch prior to packing. To keep things warm, I first fill the outer Ms. Bento thermos with hot tap water and let it set a minute or two, then empty and dry it. I then pack my hot food into the Ms. Bento containers, seal it all up, and put it into the tote. When I eat my lunch approx five hours later, the food has always been warm. In fact, several times a small bit of steam rose when I opened the lid of a container. Since other reviewers mentioned staining and odor, I've been consistent in rinsing the containers well before packing them back into the tote after lunch, and washing in warm water with dish soap that evening, letting everything air dry. I have had no problems with staining or odor after one month of regular use. Although the user guide recommend packing all containers with the same temperature of food (choose either all hot items or all cold), I have done some mixing. For example, I packed some sliced tomatoes in the bottom container and warm items in the top two containers. The tomatoes ended up a bit lukewarm, which I didn't mind, but I see why the guide says to pick one temperature and go with it. One final thought....the containers are too small, in my opinion, to comfortably eat directly from them. Soup may be OK (I haven't packed a soup yet), but I've found it more comfortable to transfer the contents of the containers onto a plate or bowl at work rather than eat directly from the containers. All-in-all, a terrific product and one I would buy again.
Review: Great for hot lunches; terrific for kids - EDIT: I spoke to some of the teachers at my kid's daycare and they said the food is nice and warm at lunchtime, which I was happy to hear. They also said that they've seen lots of insulated/thermos-type lunch containers, and this one is by far the best at keeping food warm. I am super pleased with the Ms. Bento and how much flexibility it gives me in packing my kid's lunch! I bought this for my kid's lunch because our daycare doesn't have a microwave or crockpot/bain-marie to heat food, even for babies eating baby food/finger foods. I find that the Ms. Bento is a good size for a one-year-old with a healthy appetite who eats finger foods, and I'm sure it'll work well as my kid gets older and wants to eat more. I bought some silicone cupcake liners and use them to divide food in the separate containers. The container that goes at the bottom is the "soup" container, 7 oz, and I can get two cupcake liners in there if I squish them. I put three to five pieces of different kinds of veggies in each liner and pack some more around the liners; there's plenty enough space for baby-cut carrots, broccoli/cauliflower florets, small pieces of potatoes, green beans cut small, etc. The lid screws on and has a rubber ring, so it's watertight. The container that goes in the middle is the "main" container, 10 oz, and I can get two cupcake liners in there. I usually put pasta in one and some kind of meat in the other; I can squeeze in 8-12 spirals of pasta into one cupcake liner and some slices of meatloaf in the other, no problem, and of course the entire container itself can hold a lot more. I think the lid is insulated, but I don't think it's watertight--it's not threaded/screwable; it's a put-on-and-twist-ten-degrees mechanism. The container that goes on top--the "side" container, 11 oz--has a small divider compartment of its own. I put fruit and cold cuts into this container because it's not intended to keep the food inside hot. I usually can get a strawberry or two an some diced cantaloupe or some apple slices in there, plus another cupcake liner with some shredded ham. This container is actually quite big and can fit a lot; I definitely don't use all the capacity for my kid's fruit and ham. It has a lid that pulls off; the lid has a rubber ring around it. It's probably not watertight, but I haven't had any problem with leaks or spills, even though I've put wet stuff (like fruit) in it. I honestly don't know how warm the food is when my kid gets fed at daycare, but I'm pretty sure it's not cold, which is enough for me (and probably for my kid, too). I pack the "warm food" containers--the soup and main containers--the night before and keep them in the fridge. In the morning, I fill the bento container with hot water from the tap and let it sit while I'm preparing breakfast and the food for the top container, probably 5-10 minutes. Then I heat the warm food containers in the microwave for a minute, put the lids on, pour the water out from the bento container and dry it, and assemble the whole thing. There's enough space in the bag that's included for a water bottle in the 12-16 oz range, eating utensils, plus something relatively slim, like a ziploc of crackers or cookies. While I was researching insulated food containers for my kid to take to daycare, I bought the Mr. Bento to check it out, too. Mr. Bento is significantly bigger and heavier and has way more space and an extra container; it was too much for what we needed. This version of Ms. Bento (with three containers--there is also another with just two) has enough containers for what my kid eats, the bag is sturdy, and overall its profile is smaller and easier for carrying around. Everything seems pretty sturdy and well-made; I can see us using this for years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stylish Little Lunch Hero—With a Few Quirks
*by S***B on June 26, 2025*

The Zojirushi Ms. Bento lunch jar is a cute, compact solution for meals on the go. Love that it comes with its own bag and utensils—very put-together lunch vibes. Just know: two out of the three compartments aren’t leak-proof, so soupy lunches might be a gamble. It keeps food warm-ish, but don’t expect piping hot. Still, everything nests inside a larger jar, so at least you’ve got backup if something leaks. Small but mighty—just not flawless.
