Honolulu, HI (November 6, 2020)-Sinospec, the award-winning leader in self heating beverage containers, announces the launch of a new category for Portable Food Transport and Meal Prep. Enjoy a hot meal, anywhere-anytime. No wires, no plugs, 10 minutes to heat and eat.

Nick Sexton, Operations Manager, comments “We are excited to launch Hot Bento! With no comparable product on the market, workers, students, outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, and many others have new meal options. It’s like having a compact, personal, and portable microwave. In the Pandemic Era, Hot Bento will also help customers meet concerns of Food Safety and Sanitation”

Stylish, sleek, and ergonomic, Patent Pending Hot Bento is fully self-contained and waterproof. The stainless-steel food container nests inside a shock resistant, fire retardant plastic housing. When snapped into place the food safe lid is sealed with an Oring for leak free performance. Rechargeable lithium ion batteries are encased in their own waterproof, fire retardant structure within the main container. The batteries are controlled by sophisticated, patented circuitry that transfers power to Sinospec’ s proprietary heating panel. Food reaches temperatures of 145-165 degrees in 10 minutes by a simple push of the start button.

Shipping in first quarter 2021, Hot Bento will be available in 4 colors: Faded Denim, Flame Scarlet, Biscay Green and Habanero Gold. 10% preorder discounts with a deposit of $1 are available at www.hotbento.us. Note that every effort will be made to match color selections, but they are not guaranteed for preorders.

“Our patented technology remains the primary solution to fully boiling water with a battery. Heat takes a lot of energy to produce and applying the technology to meal heating took 2 years of intensive design, prototyping and testing. The finished result is outstanding!!” said Product Development Manager Joe Ganahl.
