However, the burden of maintaining a bento lifestyle is not just the morning cooking. The "Unsung Chores" That Continue After Bento Preparation Washing the lunch box after returning home. Removing the gasket. Washing the fine grooves. Drying and reattaching it. These small, daily tasks add up behind the scenes of bento preparation. Unnoticeable, but greatly appreciated when gone. We focused on these "unsung chores" related to lunch boxes. Easy to Wash with an Integrated Gasket MECLID features a design where the lid and gasket are integrated. There's no need to remove and wash them separately, eliminating worries about forgetting to attach or losing them. With fewer parts to wash, cleaning is smooth. Since it's used daily, we considered the cleanup process. Addressing the Difficulty of Opening at Noon Lunch boxes can be hard to open. Have you ever experienced this? Bento boxes closed while still slightly warm in the morning can become difficult to open as the air inside cools and creates a vacuum over time. This can require significant force, especially with lids that you lift with just your fingertips. MECLID features a lid that opens simply by lifting a lever. It maintains airtightness while allowing for smooth opening and closing. Slim Shape Fits in Bag Gaps Laptops. Water bottles. Documents and pouches. Daily bags are
