Bento Boxes

Japanese style bento boxes were traditionally used by field workers and hunters to pack their lunch more than 900 years ago and have now become a popular trend in the culinary filed and with families at home. Bento boxes were traditionally made from wood which are still available but now mostly made from ABS plastic with a melamine coating. They generally come with several sized compartments providing a space to prepare and serve several meals in the one tray and depending on the size of bento box used, you can control meal portion sizes for each meal.
