Using your Afro Latinas bento lunch box is a breeze. First, open the wooden lid which can also be used as a plate. Then, arrange your food in the compartments separated by the movable dividers. You can use the elastic band to keep the lid secure. The lunch box is suitable for work, school, or picnics. Just place it in your bag or backpack. When it comes to maintenance, since it's BPA - free, you can wash it with mild soap and warm water. Make sure to dry it thoroughly, especially the wooden lid, to prevent any damage. Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use. And don't forget, the included cutlery is there for your convenience, so use it to enjoy your fresh meals.
