For sale - food cups and dividers
I'm separating these out into several posts for organizational purposes. If you have a question, or want to buy something, comment in this post, please.
Bento packers use food cups and dividers to separate foods out that might be a little more liquidy, if the bento eater is picky about foods touching and flavors mingling, to make it look pretty, or to take a food that is not to be reheated out of a box before the rest is microwaved.
The cupcake cups can be bought in regular grocery stores here, but I'm putting them up in the hopes that someone's willing to take them off my hands for a buck. :D
The silicone cupcake things are priced higher than other stuff because I still remember how much I paid for them. *ouch* But they're still less than you'd pay in a store, where they'd go from $8 - $12, the last time I checked. I'm getting rid of them because I have discovered that I CAN taste silicone from silicone cookware in foods that are baked or reheated in them, unlike what others say. So off they go! (They do squish reasonably well into bento boxes!)
BLUE SILICONE (MADELEINE?) MOLD - FREE TO FIRST CLAIMANT WHO BUYS SOMETHING
YES!! FREE!! Provided you buy something else so the shipping's worth it! I got this as a freebie from a bento seller on eBay. Never used. No clue what it could be used for, as I'd think making madeleines two at a time would be hideously tedious. Not good for a bento box as they're very shallow, and attached to each other.
YELLOW AND ORANGE SILICONE DIAMOND-SHAPE CUPS - $4
12 in total. 4 x 2.5 x 1.25"
PINK AND PURPLE SILICONE TRIANGLE-SHAPE CUPS - $4
12 in total. Each side 3", 1.25: deep.
RED AND BLUE ROUND SILICONE CUPS - $4
With bonus hard-water stains because I let them air-dry! 2.5" diameter at top, 1.25" deep. 12 total.
2 REYNOLDS PAPER BAKING CUPS - $1/both
50 count each, picture of 1 because I have no idea why I didn't put them in the same pic. Never used, as I realized that I tended to put food that were wet in cups, so I pretty much just use the Japanese coated ones, instead of these, which leak if they stay damp in a lunch for a long time. Also, they tend to be slightly too deep for a bento box.
ALUMINUM FOOD CUPS - $1
The packages came with 30, I used a few, not sure how many is left but I suspect it's 25 or so. Turns out I don't use them because I microwave most of my lunches before eating them. The aluminum is VERY VERY flimsy - more so than aluminum foil. All of them but the top one have a thin paper liner - turns out that Japanese bento makers use these when they make fried foods in the morning to be eaten at lunch - the paper soaks up excess oil left over after draining, and the aluminum keeps the oil from getting on other foods.
3.5" x 2" x 1"
200 PIECES SUSHI GRASS - $1
No clue why I bought them, as I have plenty of sushi grass and I don't use them often. Used to separate foods in bento boxes, as well as for decoration. Package never opened.
