When our design team worked on the MB Element insulated bento box, the priority was to make sure the product is lasting and effective. The MB Element's container is made of 316 stainless steel, a very resistant material that is often used in insulated products. The compact shape with rounded corners of this insulated bento box also contributes to the optimization of its insulating properties, reinforced by the double wall and the vacuum system of its container. Its lid is also filled with an insulating foam, which will help keep the temperature of the dish inside the insulated bento lunch box. All these features ensure that your meal is kept hot or cold for a long time!
Microwaves are no longer needed with the MB Element insulated lunch box for adults! You can go hiking or study at the library with peace of mind knowing you will be able to enjoy a comforting lunch break over a hot, homemade dish. Indeed, thanks to its ingenious design and quality materials, your insulated lunch partner, the MB Element, will keep your meal warm for up to 10 hours (depending on the contents and the conditions of use). This insulating performance can vary depending on the type of food you pack, where it is kept until lunchtime and how you use it.
We told you that microwaves were no longer needed with the MB Element, but guess what? Fridges neither! No need to put your raw vegetable or fruit salads, pokebowls or gazpachos in the fridge: the MB Element will keep them cool until lunch time. We told you that this insulated bento box would be the lunch partner of your dreams!
The MB Element is not microwave safe. You must first heat your meal up, ideally in a pan or in the microwave in another container, before placing it in the MB Element container and quickly screwing the lid back on to keep as much heat as possible inside. Your meal can then follow you wherever you go and stay deliciously hot until it's time to eat!
If you are looking for a microwave-safe lunch box, discover the MB Original with its two tiers, the MB Square with its generous size or the MB Gourmet with its transparent elements.
In order to keep your meal at the right temperature for the longest time possible, here are some tips:
- Fill the container with hot/cold water to preheat/cool it. Close the lid, leave the water on for at least 30 seconds before emptying it.
- Fill the container to the top with your cold/hot meal (use a pan rather than a microwave to heat your meal up to ensure an even temperature that is easier to maintain. The higher the temperature of the meal, the longer it will stay warm in the MB Element).
- Close the lid quickly and firmly.
- Food lovers will have to put their patience to the test: avoid opening the best insulated lunch box for hot food before mealtime!
- And before you start eating, remember to stir your food to ensure an even temperature.
Some types of food will tend to cool more quickly than others. The more sauce or liquid food there is, the less air there will be, so the longer it will stay warm. Last but not least, your meal will be kept at the right temperature if the MB Element stainless steel bento lunch box is kept in a room at 70°F (21°C) for hot dishes and 59°F (15°C) for cold dishes.
You can also carry your airtight lunch box in the MB Daily insulated bag in order to strengthen the insulating performance during transport.
Washing the MB Element insulated lunch box for men and women is easy as pie! The stainless steel container is dishwasher safe (top rack and gentle cycle recommended). The lid should be washed by hand with a soft sponge and dishwashing liquid. Discover our tips for taking care of your stainless steel insulated lunch box in video!
The MB Element is fitted with a handle and a screw thread, making it easy to use your insulated bento box.
To open it, press the small central button under the handle to release the air. Then, unscrew the lid (be careful of possible hot steam release). If your insulated lunch box is a bit resistant, grab it from underneath to get a better grip: it should be easier to start unscrewing the lid.
To close the MB Element, make sure to align the screw thread correctly before screwing the lid on firmly.
