FreshMate 800ml 3-Compartment Bento Box

A lunch box only works if it survives the journey. The FreshMate holds 800 ml across three removable compartments, and the lid clamps down on side locks with a silicone seal, so yoghurt, dressing and sauce stay where you put them rather than migrating through a school bag. It is sized at 21 by 15 by 6 cm, which fits a standard rucksack or work tote without wedging.

Separate compartments are what make packed lunches actually appealing. Sandwich in one, fruit in another, something crunchy in the third, and nothing goes soggy on the way in. The dividers lift out for cleaning or for days when one large space is more useful. The base is microwave safe with the lid removed, so a reheated pasta or curry at the office is straightforward, and everything goes into the dishwasher afterwards.

It is moulded from food-grade plastic, light enough for a young child to carry and to open unaided, and it comes in white or grey, with set options that add a matching carry bag and bottle. Let hot food cool slightly before sealing the lid, and always check that reheated food is not too hot before giving it to a child. For school runs, office desks, picnics and long drives, it does the job without fuss.
