- Pros: The multiple sections are brilliant for organising intricate garnishes and sauces.
- Cons: It isn't insulated, so it's strictly for prep and cold storage.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Kumo, a popular Japanese eatery in Cardiff, was struggling to keep their prep station organised during the busy lunch rush. Their signature bento boxes required over a dozen small, fresh ingredients, and their old system of using various small bowls was chaotic and slow.
"The moment we switched to these Tellier containers, our prep line became so much calmer and more efficient. Everything has its place, it's clean, and our chefs can build the bento boxes in half the time. They are brilliant."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
By implementing this multi compartment meal container system, Kumo successfully cut their lunch service prep time by an impressive 25%, leading to faster service and happier customers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give it a good wash with warm, soapy water to remove any residues from manufacturing.
- Dry it completely before the first use to prevent water spots on the lovely stainless steel finish.
- It's ready to go straight out of the box – no assembly required. Just get planning your ingredient layout!
Keeping It Going
- For best results and to meet hygiene standards, wash thoroughly after every single use.
- The entire unit, including the lid, is fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze in a commercial kitchen.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch the steel surface.
- Store in a dry place, with the lid on or off, to keep it in top condition for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this container dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. Both the base and the lid are made from stainless steel and are safe for use in commercial dishwashers.
Q: What is it made of?
A: It's constructed from high-quality, food-grade stainless steel, which is durable, hygienic, and resistant to stains and odours.
Q: Does the lid provide an airtight seal?
A: The lid fits snugly to cover the contents, lock in freshness, and prevent contamination. However, it is not designed to be a fully leak-proof, watertight seal for liquids.
Q: Can I use it in the oven or microwave?
A: No. As it is made of metal, it is not safe for use in a microwave. It is also not designed for oven use.
Q: How many compartments does the Louis Tellier HS512 bento box have?
A: This specific model features six individual compartments of varying sizes to hold different ingredients.
Q: Is it heavy to carry?
A: It weighs just over 1kg, making it feel substantial and sturdy without being too heavy to handle comfortably in a fast-paced kitchen.
Q: Can I stack these containers?
A: Yes, the design allows for stable stacking, which is a great space-saver for busy prep counters or refrigerators.
Q: What are the main benefits of a stainless steel container over a plastic one?
A: Stainless steel is far more durable, won't stain from foods like tomato or turmeric, doesn't retain odours, and can be sanitised more effectively at high temperatures.

Why are six separate compartments so important? In a professional kitchen, it's about control. Keeping ingredients apart prevents flavour transfer—so your pickled ginger doesn't make your delicate tuna taste of vinegar—and it preserves texture, stopping crunchy tempura flakes from going soggy next to a moist seaweed salad. It's the key to ensuring every single element of your dish tastes exactly as it should.
Think of it like a painter's palette. You wouldn't mix all your colours together in one big pot before starting to paint, would you? This bento box acts as a chef's palette, keeping every ingredient pure, distinct, and ready to be combined beautifully on the final plate. It transforms a potentially messy prep area into a model of efficiency.
Who Should Buy This?
- Japanese Restaurants: For flawlessly organising sushi fillings, tempura ingredients, and delicate garnishes right on the line.
- Catering Companies: Ideal for prepping and transporting separate meal components for events, ensuring peak freshness and presentation.
- Gourmet Cafés & Delis: A fantastic way to prep and store all the bits for signature sandwiches, salads, and ploughman's lunches.
- Ghost Kitchens: Streamline your delivery meal prep by having all your dish ingredients neatly arranged and ready for fast assembly.
