Big Bento Lunch Box — 316L Stainless Steel, 3 or 4 Compartments, Leak-Proof
Upgrade to the Big Bento Lunch Box from Misanbroo — a premium 316L stainless steel bento lunch box designed in Finland and built to carry everything from a primary school lunch to a hearty adult meal.

- 1200 ml — 3 compartments: Our everyday classic at 22 × 22 × 6.5 cm. Slim enough to slide into a school backpack or office tote.
- 1200 ml insulated lunch bag: Same 3-compartment 1200 ml lunch box, paired with a navy insulated carry bag that helps hold food temperature on the school or office commute.
- 1550 ml — 4 compartments: The bigger upgrade at 29 × 23 × 7 cm, with four compartments for hearty adult lunches or older kids who want more variety on the plate. Why 316L stainless steel?
Most stainless steel lunch boxes use 304 — a good, food-safe grade. We went a step further. 316L stainless steel contains added molybdenum, which gives it much higher corrosion resistance against acidic and salty foods — think tomato pasta sauce, citrus, vinaigrettes and soy-based dressings. 316L is the same grade used in medical and marine-grade applications.
- Anti-bacterial surface — 316L has been shown to inhibit E. coli growth, keeping your lunch hygienic between uses.
- Rust and stain resistant — no black pitting or rust marks after months of daily packing.
- BPA-free, plastic-free interior — the entire food-contact surface is pure stainless steel.
- Built to last — a stainless steel bento lunch box that handles school bags, hot dishwashers and active commutes for years, not months. Key features
- 3 or 4-compartment bento layout — keep your main, protein and side separate. No more soggy sandwich from leaking curry. One of the best compartment lunch boxes for organised meal prep.
- Leak-proof silicone seal — tested with wet foods like yoghurt, hummus, salad dressing and dips. (Full water submersion isn't recommended — the seal is for food, not a canteen.)
- 1200 ml or 1550 ml capacity — enough room for a full adult lunch, roomy for a teenager's appetite, and easy portion control for primary-aged kids.
- Stackable, slim profile — the 1200 ml is only 6.5 cm tall and the 1550 ml is just 7 cm — both fit easily in school backpacks, commuter bags and fridge shelves.
- Gentle hot-water warm-up — pour hot water (not boiling) into the plastic outer tray to warm the food from underneath when there's no microwave at work or school.
- Finnish design — from Misanbroo, with the clean, functional Nordic kitchen aesthetic.
- Dishwasher safe tray — top-rack dishwasher safe for the 316L stainless steel tray; hand-wash the lid to preserve the silicone seal. A bento lunch box for kids and adults
This is a versatile stainless steel lunch box families return to because it genuinely works for three audiences:
- Adults commuting to the office or uni — 1200 ml or 1550 ml is a proper lunch, not a snack. The compartments keep your salad, protein and carbs distinct. A premium bento lunch box for adults that survives daily handbag life.
- Teens packing a high-school lunch — the 316L stainless steel shrugs off locker bumps and rough school bags. Easy to open one-handed between classes.
- Primary school kids aged 6 — a large enough school lunch box to last the whole day, with a lid small hands can open on their own. A great kids lunch box with compartments for variety-pack lunches. Care, cleaning & reheating
- Reheating: pour hot water (not boiling) into the bottom plastic tray and sit the stainless insert on top to warm your meal gently — perfect for offices and classrooms without a kitchen.
- Do not microwave the stainless tray on its own: metal will arc. If you have microwave access, transfer food to a microwave-safe dish first.
- Dishwasher: top-rack safe for the 316L stainless steel tray.
- Lid & silicone seal: hand-wash only to extend the seal's life. Avoid bleach and abrasive scourers.
- Drying: towel-dry the stainless tray to keep the finish bright. Specifications
