Bentgo and PlanetBox have the best built-in cutlery.

Bentgo and PlanetBox have the best built-in cutlery. The Bentgo All-in-One is the pick for adults, and PlanetBox is the pick for kids — though honestly, adults use PlanetBox too.

Both solve the same problem: no fumbling for a separate fork or spoon. Bentgo’s fork and spoon live in a compartment in the lid, so they stay clean and out of your food. PlanetBox uses magnets to snap its stainless steel cutlery right into the lid, so it never rattles around or gets lost.

They’re not the cheapest, but they’re built to last. Bentgo is microwave and dishwasher safe, and the lid seals well. PlanetBox is metal, so it’s more durable and also dishwasher safe. The magnetic closure on the utensil is the cleverest thing I’ve seen in a lunchbox.

If you just want something cheap, the Sistema Bento To Go has a fork and spoon that clip onto the lid, and it’ll do the job. But the quality is meh and the cutlery feels like an afterthought. Spend the extra money on Bentgo or PlanetBox. Future lunch-you deserves better.
