You can microwave selected cupcake holders of food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-for-big-eaters#post-157754 Mon, 14 May 2012 10:02:15 +0000 mrs. bird 157754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what about something like this where parts are kept cold &amp; there are other containers that could be taken out to warm things up?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fit-Fresh-Lunch-Colors-Vary/dp/B000FNCS5M/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1337007568&#038;sr=8-6" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fit-Fresh-Lunch-Colors-Vary/dp/B000FNCS5M/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1337007568&#038;sr=8-6</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bento-box-for-big-eaters#post-157633 Mon, 14 May 2012 08:45:24 +0000 Lozza 157633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen some suggestions for the Dr. Sears pineapple tray, but I'm pretty sure my kid eats twice that amount of food at lunch. Can anyone suggest a particular bento box that's about twice that size?<br /> In the past, we've just sent LO to daycare with like seven different little small tupperware containers, but daycare is requesting that we streamline things, so I was thinking bento box.<br /> My other question is: typically some of the containers we send for LO's lunch are supposed to be heated, while some are eaten straight out of the fridge. How do you handle this with a bento? I've seen moms send bentos with a combo of things like fruit and yogurt (which would normally NOT be heated) and mac and cheese and meatballs (which I WOULD heat at home normally). Does your LO just eat everything cold?<br /> There is a fridge for storage at daycare, and a microwave. LO usually eats lunch plus two snacks while he's there for the day. Should I send three separate bento-ish containers, and just stick all the heatable stuff in one container so they can microwave the whole thing? Are any bento boxes microwave safe?<br /> Help! :) </p>
