How does the Zojirushi Ms Bento Lunch jar compare with the Mr version?
852223
I have both the Ms. Bento and Mr. Bento. The Ms. Bento is too small for me, so my 11 year old daughter uses it everyday for school lunches. In my experiences, the Mr. Bento retains heat for a longer time period compared to the Ms. Bento.

Ms. Bento is the "medium size" and Mr. Bento is "large". My 10 year old daughter uses the Ms. Bento for her school lunch box. Perfect size for her. My husband would prefer the Mr. Hope this helps. They keep the food HOT.

I agree with Terry that Ms Bento Lunch can't hold a lot of food if you are buying for an adult lunch box. I got the Ms version for my son to bring warm lunch to daycare. It can hold one bowl of rice at the bottom and some veges on the top.

I have given Mr. Bento as a gift to a friend, and I also have the larger Ms. Bento with the soup container. This particular model of the Ms. Bento is about a 1/3 smaller in total size than the Mr. Bento. The other Ms. Bento has a soup container and is a bit larger. Both Ms. Bento models hold enough food to satisfy me at lunch, and I am an adult woman on the heavy side. Mr. Bento is too big.If you look on the Zojirushi website, they have a comparison chart showing the exact volume of the containers. What I would suggest is that you make a plate with your typical lunch portions and measure the volume of your portions to find the size that is closest to your needs.

I don't know, I bought the pink with flowers box. The bento box is very cute, durable material, and it can hold enough for a lunch meal.

The whole lunch box is not insulated, it is only the metal soup/rice container. But the instructions are only in Japanese so I do not know how to actually heat up the container.

This is not an insulated or vacuum wall Bento, so I'd have to say no. For that, you would just need to take the usual precautions. Besides, Most foods when eaten cold or at room temperature loose flavor, which is why you will find so many dishes are have strong flavors when first created. This is so when you eat the food, it will have good flavor instead of bland taste to it. If you are looking for an insulated Bento, then check out the Zojirushi products.

Yes, instead of me copy-paste answer, I'll link you to http://www.amazon.com/difference-Zojirushi-SM-KHE48BA-SM-KB48TM-consumer/forum/Fx1MTXJIGQA156P/Tx27GLGDSX95OK9/1/ref=cm_cd_naredir?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B00B1KVCEQ&cdItems;=25&store;=generic

I purchased both - the zojirushi for my house and the Roswell for my daughter. The only difference is my rice cooker food will keep longer. I would recommend the Roswell.

I found the box to be appropriate for the content. I did not realize that Rubbermaid made two different qualities of plastic. This soft plastic is above (barely) Ziplock quality. When microwaving material with in can melt the plastic a bit. I am however, going to order the harder plastic, which is clear, and a better product in my estimation. Nevertheless, this is a very good value for.

Looks like the difference is more protein in the complete. I see this is for people to get some weight on them. I really like the milk chocolate one . It has the same vitamins as the complete. It is good for a lunch substitute when you can't or don't want a big meal.

I didn't check features of the smaller models. But the 5.5 cup NS-YAC10 is a great machine - the umami setting produces fantastic white rice - as good as a restaurant - and I also the porridge setting to easily make steelcut oatmeal overnight and have it fresh in the morning. I normally make small quantities of rice - e.g. 1/2 american cup dry - and it works fine. But nice to have the larger capacity for an occasional big party.

I LOVE mine. I think it is both plastic and the rubber inside area to grip jars. This product is well with the $$ especially for those w/ weak hands.

I prefer the kidsme. The smaller area for food fits his mouth better which means less mess. Plus its easier to clean. I have both but don't bother with the mesh.

I found I didn't love this model- dried out my rice too much so I bought a zojirushi instead. It has a rubber knob you pull and the top pops out for easy cleaning more expensive but I like it better

I actually own both models with lid and without. I have use both of them extensively and they are both perfect, they clean beautifully and stay shiny and new looking with an occasional scub with "Bar Keepers Friend" cleaner. Whom ever claimed that they had warping issues should seek replacement, I have a kitchen full of All Clad pots and pans and have never had a single issue. Hope his helps with your decision! ps: The difference between the one with lid is a different handle, otherwise the body is identical.

Yes.. Memorex makes sturdier version. These weren't horrible, but I'll go back to Memorex next time.

Mr. Bento is made to retain the interior temperature for up to 8 hours, so I would say it would be fine. If you're worried about any nasties getting in anyhow there are little antibacterial sheets you can place on top of your food that are made expressly for that purpose. Personally speaking I've never had any issues with my food getting contaminated, so I'm pretty at ease.

I don't know. BUT I've used older version of salad master and I LOVE my chef's secret, much better. I would buy them again. I use them with low or medium heat, as are supposed to be used. The reason I like these better than Salad Master is because the chef's secret has a gauge on each lid. It doesn't rattle. I know when I'm steaming broccoli on 4(That's with about an inch of water in bottom), it will be ready when gauge gets 3/4 over. They are a lot easier to clean. My stovetop is glass.

The small container has the gel in the lid. The large container has the jel in the bottom container not the lid. I expected it to be in both sections of the container. However, I use the large one for yogurt and it keeps cold all day in that container. I hope this helps.
