Tips and Lifehacks
Freshly prepared food with natural ingredients is always best. It is important that you let the food cool down before you put it in the lunch box, because warm food gives off condensation. This will make the contents watery. In summer, this is also unfavorable for hygiene.
Correctly assembled is the content of a bento box without gaps. This means that the food does not move so much during transport.
Perishable foods such as raw fish, tofu or homemade mayonnaise should not be packed, as the box can remain unrefrigerated for a few hours before consumption. When preparing the lunch box, you should work with clean hands so that not too many bacteria get into the food.
Prepare your food. Take a day or two to pre-cook your food. So you can freeze excess food directly and thaw it again if necessary, for example before school starts.
