The winner for this giveaway has been chosen by Random.org and is announced on this post
Zojirushi Corporation began it's manufacturing plant in the year 1918 and with its foundation, set an industry standard for new vacuum insulation technology in an everyday kitchen appliance. The past 80 odd years have seen innovative products introduced to a rich line of kitchen appliances and accessories
This picture just says it all! (Click the picture to view a larger sized image)
We received a stainless thermal mini bento and I fell in love with it as it reminded me of the regular stainless steel tiffin carriers kids (and adults) use to take their lunches in, back home in India.
(I know some of you may not be sure what a tiffin carrier looks like, so here's a picture I got off the web for reference )

The mini bento, though, is a better looking and more colorful lunch carrier!
It includes a vacuum insulated main bowl, 2 smaller bowls, a pair of chopsticks (in case you feel the urge to be a little la-dee-dah!!) and a pretty little bag to hold all your lunch ware inside.
Don't believe that all this stuff can actually fit into that tiny bag? Well, take a look and see....
The main lunch bowl is vacuum insulated, which means it can keep food hot (or even keep store it cold) inside the bowl for upto 6 hours.
The main bowl can hold upto 6.7 oz of food, while the smaller bowls can hold upto 5.6 oz of food, each. All bowls are microwaveable.
The Zojirushi mini bento can be bought off stores online and on site.
(A quick heads up, the green mini bento is on sale on Amazon for 38.13$ - price slash from 52$)

Home Bakery Mini Breakmaker, makes a small 1 lb loaf perfect size for us. The sturdy carry handle is nice when you want to remove it from the counter while it is still hot. And it makes pasta and cookie dough.
