Description

Your kid pushes the plain lunch back across the table. This panda set changes that in the time it takes to pack the box. Press warm rice into the face, punch the nori, and the lunch has a much better chance of coming home empty.

Shape rice and seaweed into adorable panda faces in seconds

Solves
  • plain lunches that kids refuse to eat
  • hard-to-cut nori shapes by hand
  • inconsistent onigiri shapes

Panda faces in seconds, so lunch gets eaten

Plain rice and soggy nori go in, and cute panda onigiri come out. Packing a bento your kid actually wants to open becomes quick and repeatable.

One press, one punch, one matching panda

A panda that holds its shape

The mold cap has a panda face molded into it, so each press leaves the same defined face on the rice. Pack the rice firmly and the relief gives you a round head and clean features without fussing over the shape.

Nori punch cutting panda eyes, nose and smile from a sheet of seaweed

Nori eyes and smile, punched clean

The square punch has a panda-face stamp, and one press cuts the eyes, nose and smile from a sheet of seaweed. No scissors and no uneven ears, so the faces look the same from the first lunch to the last.

Two pieces, one repeatable shape

The rice press and nori punch come as a matched pair, so the face lines up on every onigiri. You get a consistent shape from two compact tools that take up little drawer space.

From warm rice to panda face in four moves

  1. 1
    Pack the rice firmly

    Fill the panda mold with warm rice and press evenly. Loose rice falls apart on release, so press until the rice holds together.

  2. 2
    Release the face

    Lift the mold away slowly once the rice holds its shape. Set the panda face on your board or straight into the box.

  3. 3
    Punch the nori

    Press the square punch into a sheet of seaweed to cut the eyes, nose and smile in one motion.

  4. 4
    Assemble right away

    Place the nori on the rice as soon as you can, so the seaweed stays crisp and the face keeps its shape.

Questions and answers

Is it worth it for rice and nori shapes, or will it end up in a drawer?
w
Wanelo · seller

The set is two pieces, and it turns every weekday lunch into a panda. A single press replaces careful hand-shaping each morning, so the cost per lunch drops to almost nothing after the first week of packing.

Will the rice hold its shape when I unmold it?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, as long as you pack the rice firmly. Loose rice falls apart on release. Your first panda may need a couple of presses to find the right pressure, and after that the face releases cleanly.

Is the plastic food-safe and easy to clean?
w
Wanelo · seller

Both pieces are made from PP plastic. Rinse the mold after each use, dry it before you put it away, and keep the nori punch dry so the seaweed does not stick.

Can I use the nori punch on store-bought seaweed sheets?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The punch cuts eyes, nose and smile from a standard sheet of seaweed. Punch the nori just before you pack, so it stays crisp against the warm rice.

Does it fit a standard bento box?
w
Wanelo · seller

The rice mold is 14.5 cm long with a 6.5 cm head, and the punch is 6 cm high and 5.5 cm wide. Measure your box depth against the mold length before you pack, and the panda will sit comfortably in most kids' bento compartments.
