They don't like it too hot, but they don't like it too cold. Kind of like Goldilocks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-container-recommendations#post-621476 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:40:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 621476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: it's a small daycare so all the food is kept in the fridge. he doesn't mind eating it cold although i've thought about heating olive's food up.</p> <p>once charlie starts pre-k, i will have to send an ice pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-container-recommendations#post-621471 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:39:32 +0000 T-Mom 621471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: so since you send the food room temp, do you send an ice pack? Or maybe that is not needed since it's a short time until lunch time.. I'm trying to figure out the mechanics of a non-heated bento style lunch. </p> <p>sorry, I know this is a bit off topic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-container-recommendations#post-621454 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:35:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 621454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: we have those same containers as tupperware and they're really great (though we don't send them to daycare). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-container-recommendations#post-621405 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:29:14 +0000 T-Mom 621405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For hot items, I use glass containers like the ones below and use the silicone cupcake liners as dividers. Our daycare only allows glass for microwaving. That means I have to separate the cold items in another container.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/GlassLock-1332-17-Ounce-Food-Storage-Containers/dp/B0027926FO/ref=sr_1_6?s=home-garden&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1362688006&#038;sr=1-6&#038;keywords=glass+storage+containers+with+lids" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/GlassLock-1332-17-Ounce-Food-Storage-Containers/dp/B0027926FO/ref=sr_1_6?s=home-garden&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1362688006&#038;sr=1-6&#038;keywords=glass+storage+containers+with+lids</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-container-recommendations#post-621219 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:50:55 +0000 Mrs. Bee 621219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i pack olive's lunch in the dr sears nibble tray, but i wouldn't microwave it so i second regberadaisy's suggestion. silicon cupcake liners can be microwaved, so they could microwave just the portions that need to be microwaved.</p> <p>they sell really big silicon liners too -- not just cupcake size at allthingsforsale.</p> <p><a href="http://www.allthingsforsale.com/bento-accessory/2802-japanese-bento-jumbo-silicone-food-cup-orange-4979909834664.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.allthingsforsale.com/bento-accessory/2802-japanese-bento-jumbo-silicone-food-cup-orange-4979909834664.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-container-recommendations#post-621191 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:46:12 +0000 prettylizy 621191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered the Dr. Sears nibble tray from amazon.com and it came within a week, no duty/brokerage and it's awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-container-recommendations#post-621177 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:43:47 +0000 regberadaisy 621177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does Amazon.ca have any?
