Update: Sorry, Bento Shop is closed.  I hope you enjoy the recipes on this website instead!

Silicone Pancake/Egg Rings

These silicone pancake/egg rings produce the most adorable shaped pancakes and eggs.  The wide silicone base fits snugly to the surface of your frypan and helps to prevent egg or pancake mixture from escaping.  (Although a little may escape here and there, I think they work better than the old style metal ones!)

Rabbit, Bear, Heart and Star shape are perfect for eggs or small pancakes.

Large Bear is the right size for regular-sized pancakes.

Use your imagination with other ingredients!  Use in the frypan or oven.

(Archive) Mini Onigiri Mold Set - Flower and Bear

 What I love about these is the 3-dimensional shape of the top of the onigiri!  The flower petals are rounded and the centre of the flower is indented, just like a real flower!
And the place for the bear's nose is indented so you can place a little ball of rice in a different colour for his nose.

The flower and bear mini onigiri molds make perfect-sized onigiri for my little Ochibi's bento box.

Their small size also makes them easier for a small child to eat.

Very easy to use, just fill, press and push the white backing to eject.  (The molds have a hold in the base to poke your finger through.)
Flower 4.5cm diameter

Mini Heart Silicone Cups

 These adorable little silicone heart cups are the perfect size for umeboshi or other small portions of  Japanese pickles.

They are also the perfect size for making gorgeous heart-shaped chocolates!

Mini Onigiri Triangular Rice Mold

This is probably my most-used onigiri mold.  It makes onigiri which are small enough for my two-year old to handle.  It is also great for shaping rice for inside your bento box.

Wrap your mini onigiri in seaweed, roll them in sesame seeds, put faces on them!  There are endless variations to the mini onigiri you can prepare with this.

It is very easy to use.  Just wet the mold, fill with rice, push the top on, tip it over and push them out.  The pink parts have a textured inner surface to reduce rice sticking.

3-Hole Mayonaise Bottle for Okonomiyaki

 Did you wonder how I did the mayonaise decoration on my okonomiyaki?  It was really easy.  This is the secret tool to impress your friends with!

Quickly and easily decorates Salads, Bento, Okonomiyaki or Takoyaki.  A must if you want to use mayonaise on sushi!  In Australia we bought the 1kg bottles of Japanese mayonaise (cheaper per gram), and they had big mouths, which meant mayonaise could only be squeezed out in fat blobs.  

So after I got one of these I kept the big bottle at the back of the fridge and used it to refill this one.  We love it because it efficiently uses our precious Japanese mayonnaise without waste!
