Zojirushi Classic Bento Vacuum Lunch Jar -

Zojirushi Classic Bento Lunch Vacuum Jar -

A nonstick coated washable inner container makes it easy to keep the lunch jar clean

The Zojirushi Classic Bento Lunch Jar is a worthy successor to our previous top pick. The Classic Bento has a larger capacity (the capacity is 2.5 times larger than its predecessor), is solidly built, and is insulated with vacuum technology, which helps keep food hot or cool longer. The Classic Bento also has 3 lidded inner containers, each with its own utensil, and a convenient carrying bag. The Classic Bento is heavier, but it's more durable and built to last. The Classic Bento has a separate, smaller inner container for condiments, which is a nice touch. Our only quibble with the Zojirushi Classic Bento is that the lids are a bit difficult to open.
