❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What are the tips for preventing food poisoning in Sports Day bentos?
Always cool any dishes prepared the day before completely before refrigerating. On the day, use ice packs and an insulated bag, and store away from direct sunlight. Salads with mayonnaise are particularly prone to spoilage, so ensure proper insulation. Dishes with umeboshi (pickled plums) or vinegar are less likely to spoil.
Q2. What are the tips for processing large quantities of ingredients with the CH-210?
Even with the CH-210's 1.2L large capacity bowl, it is recommended to keep the amount of ingredients processed at one time to about 2/3 of the capacity (approx. 800ml). If there are too many ingredients, they may not be processed uniformly. For large quantities, processing in 2-3 batches will result in a more even finish.
Q3. How long can dishes prepared the day before be stored?
Fried chicken and brownies can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Coleslaw, egg salad, and pasta salad are best for 1-2 days in the refrigerator. Fruit salad is best consumed on the same day. For all, store in clean containers and refrigerate.
