Mason Jar + BNTO = A Perfect Lunchbox (Giveaway)
We are pretty darn excited about Cuppow’s latest product – BNTO. If you haven’t heard about it yet, it is a canning jar adaptor, which fits inside a widemouth canning jar, separating the jar into two leak-proof compartments. The BNTO is made from BPA-free plastic and holds six ounces of whatever you want to fill it with – salad dressing, hummus, granola, nuts, salsa, etc. The BNTO is the perfect way to keep your snack or meal separate until you are ready to dip, mix or dunk it. Check out Big Red Kitchen for some great mason jar meal ideas!
Here’s a cool video that shows the BNTO in action. BNTO by Cuppow! from Paper Fortress on Vimeo.
We found that one-piece
lids are much nicer to use with BNTO, rather than 2-piece lids. The gold widemouth plastisol lid or Ball’s widemouth plastic storage caps are good options because…
- They are able to tighten a little more securely.
- They are a bit less cumbersome than 2-pieces.
- The Ball plastic caps are BPA-free and will never rust!
Of course, let’s not forget Cuppow’s original product, which turns Mason jars into an environmentally friendly portable cup, travel mug, or a sippy cup for the younger ones. We offer the whole Cuppow line, which comes in all sorts of fun colors – pink, mint, orange & blue.
Giveaway
We just added the BNTO to our stock and in honor of that we thought…why not give some away. The winner will get a BNTO package complete with jars and lids. Prize includes:
- 6 BNTO’s
- 2 – 24 oz. Widemouth Ball Jars
- 4 – 16 oz. Widemouth Ball Jars
- 6 Widemouth lids of the winners choice – metal or plastic.
Love…love…love it!!! What a wonderful gift you are offering!
Hummus & veggies, salad & dressing, fruit/yogurt & granola, oh, so many possibilities! 🙂
This seems like it would be perfect for bringing salad and salad dressing to work!

I would use salad and dressing!
Veggies and dip!
Lunch stuff!
I would fill it with crackers and nutella, maybe even bananas!
I will take them to school. 🙂
I would fill with yogurt, salad dressing, cheese, nuts, anything that would go good with my lunch that I don’t want touching the food in the bottom.

too many uses to even count!!!
I would fill a BNTO container with my snacks. I eat several snacks and small meals a day, so these would be perfect for a variety of foods.

Holy crap! These are amazing. Great for my husbands lunches!
I’d fill it with salad dressing most likely.
I would LOVE to use it in my lunch box. As a school RN, my lunches need to be quick and easy. They also need to be healthy. I teach the kids at my schools all about nutrition so I practice what I teach and want to show them how easy it is to have good habits. And, as a mom of three we live on a budget and try to limit wasteful food packaging. Would love to try the BNTO with my salads, veggies/hummus, and veggies with dip. It’s a BRILLIANT product!
I agree! It makes it easier for me to get things in bulk when I know that I’ll be re-packing it more efficiently more often so that it won’t go to waste! The pre-packed individually wrapped grocer stuff is sooo super annoying…am amazed at the packaging that I throw out as I use it. We’ll be all over these!
Great idea! And love the name too! Thanks for hosting this giveaway – cheers!
I forgot to say what I’d fill it with…… Veggies and Hummus! or apples and peanut butter or salad and dressing or….. 🙂
Yogurt and granola!

Oh so many ideas…salads and dressing, fruits and yogurt…
Definitely need these for my wife’s lunches. Just off the top of my head I can think of about four different food combos she would love in these.
Oatmeal and chia/apricotjam!

Since it’s widemouth, it would be perfect for fermentation products in gallon jars. You just wouldn’t screw it down all the way and the BNTO would hold the veggies below the top of the brine
Whoops! That was fermentation projects.
That would make salads so much easier to take with out and about!
yogurt dressing for a big ol’ mason jar full of fruit!

Salad and dressing are a no brainer but I think I would like to stack cinnamon buns and put the drizzle in the cup.
Dessert! Marshmallows, small cookies, etc on the bottom, chocolate sauce on top!
I would fill it with lemon curd and ANIMAL CRACKERS!!!! or gingerbread cookies or vanilla wafers……..face it any cookie goes great with lemon curd!
Seems like a great way to bring cereal and milk with me to work for breakfast at my desk.

So fun! Why did I not know about these before?!
Possibilities are ENDLESS!!!! Salads/dressings/nuts, all my snack ideas… kids’ snacks, almond butter, apples, celery; yogurt and additions like chia, walnuts & fruit… supplements for the day, protein powder on top for morning protein snack. Still shaking my head… love these especially the BPA free lids – SO IMPORTANT

Salad and dressing!
Want these so bad!! Will make life and lunch easier!!

I have been doing this for a while with an ill fitting plastic container that fits into a Ball jar. This seems so much easier, and way simpler to clean up!

I would fill it with lemon hummus and carrots. or gingersnaps and vanilla yogurt. I love the cookies and milk idea 🙂

I would fill top with ice and chill my fruit. Fill it with salad and salad dressing. In the winter it would be good for gravy and potatoes!
This is seriously one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long while. I just love these! This would be great for chopped, moist veggies that could wilt the salad greens. Of course it would also be perfect for salad dressing.
I would be bringing lunch to work everyday!
These BNTOs would be great for taking some of my huge tub of humus to work with carrot sticks!
I would fill it w/ my THM meals on the go. Healthy dips & kale chips, etc.

Very clever! Maybe some cereal and milk.
This is a neat idea! It would be a great way to bring salad and dressing in one convenient little package! 🙂
I would totally pack salads or dips!
What a great idea! I love that it’s 6 oz, that’s about the portion of yogurt I like for an afternoon snack. And now you’re telling me I can perfectly portion that with my add-ins (oats, raisins, sunflower kernels, and chocolate chips, naturally) in the perfect separate-but-joint container? Get outta town. 🙂
What wouldn’t I fill it with?
Perfect for salad in a jar!
Granola and yogurt.
I would fill the jar with yogurt, topped with fruit. Granola would be in the BNTO. Awesome!
Love hummus. . . best idea ever
I would fill it with salads.
I have SOOO many uses for things like this. Where to begin…
I would fill those will yogurt and bananas. my new favorite snack
Yogurt and granola, salad and dressing here I come!
This would be SO PERFECT for me…a common lunchtime meal for me is kidney beans with my homemade buttermilk ranch dressing as a topper, and I’ve ruined FOUR lunchbags in the last year alone from dressing leakage/failed containers. I would love to be able to pop my beans into a nice jar, put plenty of ranch in the extra partition, and not have to worry any longer about oily leaks & ruined lunches!
I’d use it for breakfast in the morning. Cereal and milk!
Perfect for hummus and veggies!

I make my own yogurt. I love the idea of packing a granola & yogurt combo for work and school lunches.
These are fantastic! No more using snack sized ziplocks stuffed into the jars. Love it!!!!
Anything from liquids (milk,dressings,salsa) to nuts, to chopped fruits, to shredded cheeses, to bite sized snacks, would go great in this! I especially loved the melted chocolate idea to dip strawberries in!
Clever! Would mean I could get rid of some of the ridiculous plastic I have laying around.
Excited!! I’ve been wanting to get my hands on one of these forever. Picturing bringing breakfast to work – yogurt and granola or oatmeal and nut toppings or salads and dressing for lunch or nut butter and crackers for snack time. Endless possibilities

Veggies and dip, salads with dressing, yogurt and granola. Lots of possibilities. Perfect for everyone’s lunch!
love the idea for brining salads as the salad in a bottle
I’ve never even heard of a one-piece metal lid – cool
That really is a great idea! I was immediately thinking it would be great for carrots with ranch dressing, hummus with veggies or wheat thins, chips with salsa but after watching the video there are many other things especially for lunches and daytime outings to the park, etc.
Hummus to have with carrots and celery!
I could think of countless ways to use these.
This is perfect to take with me for some lunch to go on those days I am volunteering at school or at a Girl Scout event. Love it!
