YOU ARE READING: 9 Fun And Easy Electric Lunch Box Recipes For The Office AT Saophuongdong.net

However, with working from home now not a flaw, many of us would have started to return to the office more, including yours for real. However, since returning to work, it has become more difficult for me to secure a seat in restaurants during lunch hours. Also, don’t make me start in line for the office microwave! Therefore, I thought that this electric lunch box could be the solution to my problems. All I had to do was add the ingredients, add some water and plug in the lunch box and by lunchtime, I would have a freshly made meal! After using the electric lunch box for over a month, I have compiled a list of my personal recipes for electric lunch boxes for the office!

How to Use the Bear Electric Lunch Box

(

Bear Official Store) The Bear

electric lunch box

(

available on the Bear Official Store) has a capacity of 1.3L and comes with two layers of metal bowl for your meal, detachable cap, a pressure seal cover (to keep steam stored inside the lid and bowls) and an 80 ml graduated glass. This measuring cup is useful so you don’t have to look at the ingredient I’m using! I’ll use this measuring cup to measure the ingredients in the electric lunch box recipes below.

One of my favorite USPs of the Bear electric lunch box is its intuitive one-button design. Simply add water to the base of the electric lunch box, put the metal trays (with food, of course), add the pressure seal cap and attach the lid of the electric lunch box. Connect it, press the button and ta-da! The powerful vaporizer inside the lunch box will start steaming your food right away! The steam stops when the electric lunch box runs out of water, so it’s important to measure how much water you want to put in with the measuring cup provided. A good indicator is that one cup (80 ml) equals about 15-20 minutes of vaporization. Now that we have the basics, let’s jump to these electric lunch box recipe ideas for the office.
