Obesity Is A Growing Concern
In March 2023, the official website of the World Obesity Alliance released 《World Obesity Atlas 2023》. It is predicted that there will be more than 4 billion obese or overweight people worldwide by 2035, accounting for 51% of the global population. By then, the Pacific island nation of Kiribati will have the world’s highest adult obesity rate of 67%.
Nowadays, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to the degree of obesity in their bodies. This attention is not just for aesthetic reasons, but more for health. With the accelerated pace of life and changes in dietary structure, obesity has become a common health problem. Obesity may lead to various health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc.

Types of Bento Boxes
Bento boxes come in various categories, usually classified based on their material, shape, function, and purpose. Now, let’s talk about their characteristics according to the material and the division of the bento boxes, and talk about their advantages and disadvantages
Material distinction
Let’s start with the material classification of bento boxes. Bento boxes on the market can be roughly divided into two categories based on materials: microwaveable and non-microwaveable. Microwaveable bento boxes include plastic lunch boxes and silicone lunch boxes. Bento boxes that are not microwaveable include stainless steel lunch boxes and electric lunch boxes
Microwaveable Plastic Bento boxes
Advantages
- Lightweight and durable: very light and easy to carry.
- Transparency: Most plastic bento boxes have a transparent appearance, and the food inside can be seen.
- Easy to clean: Plastic lunch boxes are usually easy to clean.
- Great sealing: Equipped with a sealing cover or sealing ring, which can effectively prevent food from leaking or deteriorating.
- Microwave safe: Safe to heat food in the microwave.
- Affordable: Compared to bento boxes made of other materials, plastic bento boxes are usually less expensive.
Disadvantage
- Not resistant to wear and tear: Plastic bento boxes may not be wear-resistant enough and are easily scratched, affecting their appearance.
- Easily deformed: Although plastic bento boxes usually have a certain degree of durability, they may deform or break in some cases.
Microwaveable Silicone Bento Boxes
Advantages
- High-temperature resistance: It can withstand higher temperatures and is therefore suitable for microwave heating of food.
- Soft and durable: Silicone bento boxes have a certain degree of softness and are not easily deformed or broken.
- Light and portable: Silicone material is relatively light and easy to carry.
- Easy to clean: Silicone material does not adhere to food and is easy to clean.
Disadvantage
- Not resistant to scratches: Silicone material is relatively soft and is easily scratched by sharp tools or objects.
- Easy to deform: Although the softness of the silicone bento box contributes to its durability, it may also cause shape deformation in some cases.
- Heating temperature limit: The heating temperature of the silicone lunch box cannot exceed 230 degrees. Exceeding this temperature may cause the silicone material to deform or release harmful substances.
- Not suitable for freezing: Silicone bento boxes are generally not suitable for freezing food because low-temperature environments may cause the silicone to harden, become brittle, or lose elasticity.
Non-microwavable Stainless Steel Bento Boxes
Advantages
- Strong durability: Stainless steel bento boxes have good corrosion resistance and durability, and have a long service life.
- Environmentally friendly and healthy: Stainless steel is an environmentally friendly and healthy material that does not contain harmful substances and does not release toxic substances or odors. It is suitable for loading various foods to ensure food safety.
- Easy to clean: The stainless steel surface is smooth, does not adhere to food, and is easy to clean.
- Good thermal insulation performance: The stainless steel bento box has good thermal insulation performance.
Disadvantage
- Heavyweight: Compared with bento boxes made of other materials, stainless steel bento boxes are usually relatively heavy, which may increase the burden when carrying.
- Not suitable for microwave heating: Stainless steel cannot generate a magnetic field in a microwave oven, which may cause uneven or incomplete heating of food.
- Not suitable for acidic foods: Stainless steel lunch boxes are not suitable for loading acidic foods, such as lemon juice, tomato sauce, etc., because acidic substances may react chemically with stainless steel, affecting the quality and safety of the food.
Non-microwavable Electric Bento Boxes
Advantages
- Convenient heating: The electric lunch box can be heated by a power supply without the need for a microwave or stove.
- Warm preservation function: In addition to heating food, electric lunch boxes usually also have a heat preservation function, which can keep food fresh and hot.
Disadvantage
- Longer heating time: Compared with rapid heating equipment such as microwave ovens, electric lunch boxes usually take longer to heat.
- Higher price: Compared to other lunch boxes, electric lunch boxes are usually more expensive.
- Inconvenient to clean: Since electric lunch boxes usually have circuits and heating elements, they can be relatively troublesome to clean, and care needs to be taken to avoid damaging the circuits and heating components.
- Not easy to carry: Since electric lunch boxes are usually designed to have a larger space to accommodate heating elements and food, they are larger than ordinary lunch boxes and are not suitable for carrying around.
Divided Types of Inner
In addition to the distinction between different materials, there are also different types of bento containers suitable for different foods and scenes. Depending on the inner tray (internal compartment) of the bento boxes, lunch boxes can be divided into the following 3 categories：
Single-layer Bento Boxes
Single-layer bento boxes are the simplest kind, with just one large storage space and no internal compartments. Suitable for loading a single type of food, such as a main dish or a side dish. This lunch box has a simple structure, is easy to clean, and is suitable for some simple dining occasions.
Multi-layers Bento Boxes
Multi-layer bento boxes consist of multiple individual layers stacked together, each with its own lid or seal. This design makes the lunch box have a larger capacity and can be loaded with different types of food separately, making it easy to combine and carry. For example, one layer can be loaded with staple food, and the other layer can be loaded with side dishes or fruits, making it flexible and versatile
Divided Bento Boxes
Divided bento boxes have internal compartments to separate food and avoid mixing different types of food. There are usually two or more compartments, and each compartment can hold different types of food, such as staple foods, vegetables, fruits, etc., making it easy to carry diverse meals.
