I received a set of 5 Orgalif Bento Lunch Box Containers for the purpose of this honest review. See Disclosure/Policies.
These are made from BPA free food grade plastic with separate compartments for different parts of a meal. I suppose these would be really good for portion control. They remind me of the microwave dinner trays I used to buy the kids when they were little, with the chicken nuggets in the large section, mac & cheese or applesauce in another, and a cookie or brownie in the last little section.
A small 1/2 cup of applesauce, that hasn't been opened, will fit perfectly in the 3/4 cup spot. The measurements of the boxes: Large section-2 1/2 Cups, Smaller section-3/4 cup, Smallest section-1/2 cup. Inside of the largest compartment is approx. 4.5" x 5" Inch and 1.75" deep. Overall, each container is 9.4" x 6.1" x 2" inches.
I thought it worked really great for salad container, to keep the items separate until lunch time. In the empty section I did put a hardboiled egg.
My only complaint about these is that they are NOT leak-proof! They do state this in the Amazon listing. The lids come off easily, so you cannot put liquids in these. You might notice the red item in the second photo above. That is a little cup of French salad dressing inside a ziplock bag to prevent it from spilling out. But it works just fine for dry or slightly moist foods. I'd say if you need to put a liquid, or very moist food in this, put it in a sandwich bag first. Or even a smaller container to be put inside of this.
I do like these containers although I am very much not a fan of plastic. The ease of use is one reason I like them. The colorful lids is another. I can now easily pack my husbands lunch without many varied sized containers. It fits perfect in his little cooler bag. I could even stack a few in there if we were going on a road trip or out for a day-long errand. My daughter is really into making bento lunches and she is sure these will work perfect for that!
