Bentgo MicroSteel Leak-Proof Bento Lunch Box, Microwave & Oven-Safe

I really like the Bentgo MicroSteel lunch box! Being able to microwave it makes it so convenient for reheating lunch, and the leakproof design is a big plus. It’s a practical alternative to plastic containers, and I love the simple design.

LOVE! Opening takes a minute to get the hang of but it’s easy. Pull the green plug out to take the lid off put back on to seal NEVER LEAKS and microwaveable

Bought this a week ago. Within a week of usage the coating has started peeling like in the above picture . Don’t think the coating is dishwasher safe as advertised . It just starts peeling within 2-3 washes itself .

I like the fact that this can be used in the microwave. I wanted to get away from reheating stuff in plastic in the microwave when I take lunch to work. Glass is too heavy and fragile. The metal is lighter. It does seem to heat up differently in metal though. But it's just something that you need to learn. It doesn't say on the description, but you shouldn't use this in a microwave over 1000 W. I just reduce the power on the settings and haven't had any issues so far. I can see how it might be a little difficult to open, but that's why I haven't had any leaks so far. Another plus is that metal is so much easier to clean than plastic since plastic is a pain to clean if you have anything oily in there.

Avoiding plastic isn't easy, and my adult son that I bought it for wants something microwaveable instead of something insulated & therefor bulky. This came as close as possible to matching my apparently difficult requirements. ✅ Not plastic. Plastics degrade into microplastic particles that our bodies have no way to remove, and their plasticizers leach into food. The majority of lunch containers on the market are nevertheless plastic or include unwanted plastic elements. ✅ Stainless steel, yet microwaveable. I think it's due to a combination of the type of stainless steel and the rounded edges. There are limits on the power of the microwave (1000W) but he hasn't had trouble with the microwave at work. ✅ Stainless steel doesn't stain. Rounded corners. Easy to clean. ✅ Stainless steel doesn't mind heat or cold. ✅ One dividable box seems more flexible (for our food habits anyway) overall than common multiple small stacking containers (designed for lunches consisting of rice & something else). For soup I switch to a thermal food jar. ❌ Has an unwanted thin exterior coating purely to add color. Whole point of stainless steel is it doesn't need it, and the coating will just come off. Lost a whole star for this. ❌ Nothing keeps the lid on but a silicone seal that will probably fail within a few years, limiting its durability and longevity. It's possible to find (and I did) an insulated pack that it fits into rather snugly. The pack is advertised to keep "hot" or cold, but really only cold because plastic doesn't deal well with heat. At best, warm for a few hours. This is a problem with the pack not the bento box itself; just mentioning so you're aware of the option & its limitations. I can just squeeze in a hot/cold pack to keep it warm (not really hot) or cold longer.

While the bento box is a excellent product and very easy to use I do have a few pet peeves, one it that the lid can’t be washed in the dishwasher which would make cleaning easier, and the box is barely two months old and the paint is peeling off. Other than that good product and recommend for lunch prep.

I like that the container is made of microwaveable stainless steel and that it comes with a silicone divider, but the lid itself is NOT microwave safe and it kinda defeats the whole purpose. It also wasn’t clear in the product description that only the box itself is microwave safe. I kept it as I thought it would be something I could live with, but every once a while I would have to clean up the stains in my microwave from not having the lid on, and it eventually cause me to reach for this lunch box less. And I’m now shopping for a new lunch box where the entire container is microwavable.

Extremely difficult get the lid off without serious work and to be able to finally get it off you’ll spill food as you twist and contort it to try and open. Do not recommend. Ended up returning sadly.

It was true to size. Keeps heated meals hot for quite a while, which is what i got it for. Love it. Not the cheapest, but well worth the money as it does what i need it to do.

The black coating goes off in lesss than 1 month not worth the money

I purchased one of these earlier this year and it was $40, the box is great, and I love the options of oven, freezer and dishwasher safe. I ended up buying 5 more of them direct from the manufacturer. Bentgo is also really solid when it comes to warranty claims. The $80 price tag here is too much for me and would recommend going through Bentgo or another retailer.

excellent product
