Mo:Ben is a handy food container that includes a built-in film heater component that can heat up foods to a pre-heated temperature. Mo:Ben’s main mechanism of maintaining the heat is the combination of foam-filled cavity insulation and the built-in heating factor. There are two main parts of the device; one is the external box that features a carry grip, slip protective rubber base and cutlery storage, and another is the temperature sensitive substance for food preparation indication. The internal box holds the food and can be detached for convenient dish-washing. The arrangements inside the box are designed to encourage variety of food and mixing of food is prevented by different available compartments.
This design has been inspired by traditional Japanese ideals of functionality and simplicity of the bento box while fusing it with modern technology of heating, insulation and materials.

Actually, it seems to be the perfect lunch box i"m looking for. Can this box also hold the food cold for exemple a salad as there is no fridge at my workplace.
Do you intend to put this on the market shortly and how much will this cost ? Or do you intend to sell it exclusively on internet ?
Any way this is a brilliant idea.

@All : MO:BEN is just a concept

Although this is a really old post, you should really try to get Venture Capitalist or Angel funding for this project. This is without a doubt one of the best ideas I have encountered. Given the current fincial situation, many office workers can not afford to purchase hot meals at canteens or outside of the office.
Is this was affordably priced (~$50-$60) a box, then the payoff period for a consumer, would be such that the product would more than pay for itself. Even better would be a portable battery to accompany it, so that it does not have to be electrically tested by companies prior to use. Even better, why not dry something like Dragons Den (a UK TV show).
