Bento Do's and Don'ts

Bento Do's and Don'ts

• RavenWhite 13 years ago
  Here are a few things I've learned about bento's. I thought it would be helpful to everyone who doesn't know much and doesn't feel like going over tons of sites.
  
  Do List
  Do fill your bento until it is full but make sure the top can go on it.
  
  Do use a ice pack if you are using certain foods that ruin easily in hot weather.
  
  If you have a bento box and its dish washer safe I would dish wash it first then hand wash it. This is so that you know every little bit of stuff that was in the bento is out of it and no germs remain.
  
  Do pack your bento box with full of nutritious foods. Rice included. It will give you energy without exhausting you later.
  
  
  Don't List
  
  Don't add hot foods to a bento box. This can cause steam to get stuck and bad things can happen to the food. Make sure to add everything when its cooled down.
  
  Don't under fill your bento! Fill it up so you can eat a lot. Bento's are small but they hold the perfect size for a lunch.
  
  Do experiment with riceballs. There are many seasonings and stuff you can use for riceballs. And seasonings don't ruin either! Though the flavoring can if you don't put enough.
