PacknWood’s new Round Kraft Salad Bucket with PET Lid is great for more than salads. Bento boxes are very popular right now and you can easily assemble a bento box with the salad bucket dividers. If you take advantage of this bento box trend, you can easily add a variety of new menu options that customers love. Here is a deeper look at how and why you should try using Kraft salad buckets as to-go bento boxes.
Why Are Bento Boxes Popular Right Now?
Bento boxes are great because they pack a variety of flavors and textures into one neat and tidy package. You can easily customize them to suit your taste, making them suitable for all kinds of diets. Plus, since they’re portable, you can take them with you wherever you go.
This is great for customers since people live very busy lives now. Having access to delicious and healthy options that can be thrown together quickly means that customers will rely on you for their fast meal needs.
How to Make a Bento Box
Making a bento box is simple. Start with a container that you can divide into several sections. PacknWood’s Round Kraft Salad Bucket with PET Lid is perfect for this with the divider inserts. Then, just add several food options that go together. Throw in utensils, and you have a meal ready to go.
When choosing your food items, think about variety - pick a protein, a carbohydrate, a vegetable, and a fruit. Try to include something from each of the main food groups for a balanced meal.
For example, you can fill your bento box with steamed chicken and rice, cooked carrots, fresh strawberries, and a hard-boiled egg. Consider adding other items like sesame seeds, herbs, or nuts to the mix. If you’re feeling extra creative, decorate your bento box with edible items like cucumber slices or radish flowers. Once you’ve filled your bento box with all of the components of your meal, place the lid on top and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat.
Simple Recipes for Bento Boxes
The recipes that you choose don’t have to be complicated. For these, choose three options that work well together. For example, start with a salad, a protein, and a starch. A simple salad, chicken, and rice make a quick and easy bento box that customers will love.
Combine Bento Boxes with Full-Size Salads
You can also use these salad buckets for full-sized salads. Adding a salad to any meal adds value, as people are always looking for ways to be healthier. If your restaurant has unique salad options, even better. The clear PET lid lets customers easily see inside so that they know exactly what they are getting, and the quality of your presentation shines through.
Take advantage of the fact that the lid doesn't hide the food and make your food stand out. If you like to repackage options for your customer, these buckets work well for that, too. Having ready-to-go options on hand makes getting lunch much faster, which customers are definitely looking for and appreciate.
