Love, but the plastic leaches into food

Love, but the plastic leaches into food
I absolutely LOVE Zojirushi everything.I have many of their excellent coffee mugs and appliances. I've had a zillion food jars, so was expecting to love this product, which, for the most part, I do. However, after washing the compartments thoroughly, the plastic taste leached into the food, as I had put boiling liquid in for soup. When I ate it 8h later, it DEFINITELY tasted like plastic.I have had Tiger and Ms/Mr Bentos as well. This would absolutely be a superior product IF it did not contain PTFE/PFOEs, which kill birds. Teflon coating will now be outlawed for future production in the US. I'm very disappointed in this.The container itself is great, as is the bag around it. I wish it had a regular handle, as the strap is awkward and I cannot see myself utilizing it, so very it inside a tote. Again read the description carefully, as only the bottom is for liquid; the upper containers get increasingly less temperature-stable. This definitely doesn't do a great job as a giant covered thermal jar would, but I love that it is streamline. I'm not sure how to get around the product leaching, perhaps use silicone liners? This is ridiculous to have to do in such an otherwise thought-out container.I prepared the outer container with boiling water at 11a as I filled the others. At 3p, the middle compartment was warm, and the bottom compartment on the low side of hot. I was also hoping the bag would help keep my bagel warm, but as I had to wait 15m for a train in 45F weather, it wasn't as warm as I wanted after 2h (it was lukewarm). Perhaps I'll include a hot water bottle for these instances, but this seems silly to have to do with such a container. When I actually ate the food at about 8p, it was barely warm - not that I expected it to stay warm-- but if I had this in a regular closing vacuum jar, it would at least still be hot, like my S'well mug.It helps to keep a wet paper towel under the lid to keep everything clean as you open lids, etc. I really hope Z comes out with a non-toxic (research this please) version of this soon, as well as a completely-sealed lunch jar (vs just covered, as much heat is lost through the top, and I like hot food. I will not microwave this coated plastic, especially since after only hot water it leached.)Also, the attached chopsticks are great (but plastic); the sporklike metal utensil only fits in the carrier but am way of it scratching. So that was definitely an afterthought. If eating Asian soup, I'm not using that in any case, so an area for that would help.Will add photos from other gadget.In my pic, I'm on the commuter train with soup base on the bottom; fish balls, boiled egg, and seafood in the middle, and vegetables on top. I added the top and bottom to the middle and added hot water, for a hot (rice) noodle soup meal!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile investment, Keeps Food Hot For A While, Good For Portion Control...
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2015
- I bought the black version with the 3 bowls as I felt that the black color shall hide stains easily and it shall not show its age easily in a few years. I wish they could have a black version for the one with the 4 bowls.
- This one includes a main bowl (20 oz.), side bowl (13.5 oz.) and a soup bowl (9.5 oz.) with their respective covers.
- It also comes with an insulated cover, has a strap for easy carrying, instructions in English, a spork (spoon & folk combo) and chopsticks. The chopsticks are enclosed in a case that slides on the outside of the outer big container.
- The lower smallest bowl is for 'soup' but I usually use it for beef stew. The middle bowl is for rice and maybe pasta. The upper bowl is for fruits and vegetables, anything you want in room temperature.
- I boiled water and poured the hot water in the soup bowl and the rice bowl to 'preheat' the bowls and covered them. I keep the hot water in the bowls for 10 minutes.
- I then pour soup/beef stew into the smallest bowl and close it. When properly closed, the white rubber topper comes up straight. The soup bowl goes to the bottom. The middle bowl is where I place the rice or pasta, basically carbs, the main part of the meal. There are arrows showing how the bowl should be closed and the paper instructions illustrate how the bowl should be closed.
- the top bowl is not an insulated kind, so I keep fruits and vegetables in there. I was worried that the top bowl would 'heat' up my fruits but they were okay at room temperature. Not ice cold but not hot either.
- The 3 bowls settle perfectly into the outer container and are easy to put in and pull out. Once the 3 bowls are in the container, in order, the outer container has a cover that snaps easily and the container goes easily in the insulated bag, which, with its strap, is easy to carry from place to place. I carry the container whilst using public transportation and it's almost inconspicuous.
- I have been putting the hot foods in at 6.30 am. At 3.30 pm, 9 hours later, the foods are warm enough to eat. Not piping hot but not cold-ish either. The type of hot that needs a half- minute to a minute in the microwave. I ate the food at 12.30 pm (put into containers at 6.30 am) and the food was quite warm, not needing to be reheated. The longer the wait, the less hot the food gets. You can still eat it without reheating it but it won't be piping hot if that's your thing.
- I purchased glass Pyrex bowls to store food at night so that I would reheat the food in the morning and put it into the bowls. The bowls are also microwaveable. (But without their covers)
- It sounds pricey but basically, it pays itself in a week or two of meal preparation.
- the portions look small but I got satisfied after eating food from the 3 bowls, beef stew, rice and seedless melon. I am a middle sized man. It's a good way to commence portion control.
- Clean the bowls are fast as you can. I haven't had a problem with smells but some commenters have. I bought black to avoid seeing food stains.
- I am using this jar in conjunction with the Zojirushi flask which I use to carry hot coffee or tea (see the review I have written) and I carry both in one of those $1.99 reusable grocery bags and they fit perfectly.
- I have posted pictures of what it looks like, foods included. There are a lot of pictures of prepared foods for the Zojirushi in the images for the larger stainless steel version, if you want to have an idea of the kinds of meals that can be carried in these Zojirushi jars.
- there are also a lot of pictures in Flickr under MrBento that can assist you with the preparation of meals. I believe there is also a bento book here in Amazon.

Estoy impresionado, después de una extensa búsqueda de una solución para transportar y conservar mis alimentos para la escuela me encontré con esta opción. En si es un cilindro de acero aislado el que se encarga de conservar los alimentos, además de contar con tres recipientes, 2 frío/caliente y uno a temperatura ambiente. La calidad de construcción es muy buena, además de incluir una cuchara/tenedor de acero con un proyector, incluye un estuche para protegerlo de rayaduras y/o golpes. La temperatura de la comida se conserva muy bien y el tamaño de las porciones está excelente, está es una de las compras que más me han sorprendido por lo bien que se ve, lo bien que funciona y la relación calidad precio está ligeramente por arriba de lo que normalmente pagaría pero la calidad es tangible.
