I bought three of these and love them! I plan on using two of them for christmas or birthday gifts but might keep them for myself. I am a school teacher with a very short lunch break. When I get to school I plug it in and when I am ready to eat I have a hot meal. Several other staff members have heard about my crock pot and had to go buy one for themselves. This has allowed me to eat healthier and saved me a ton of money with convenient meals. When I am out shopping with my husband he is eagerly helping me to think of new things to warm up in my crock pot. My only complaint is I wish the lid had a tighter seal to it.
I have had one of these for years. It is so handy to use for lunch. No more lines for the microwave and food is heated throughout. I have bought 2 for gifts and both the receivers were thrilled. Great little product.
Size is very small and not useful for taking lunch ...don’t purchase

Thank you for taking your time to submit a review. We are sorry to hear that this lunch crock did not satisfy your expectations regarding its capacity. At the moment, this item is only available in two sizes; 20- ounce and 24 ounce. Another great use we can suggest for this product is for dips. Should you wish to talk to us, you may reach our customer care department at 1-800-323-9519.
My husband bought this little crock pot for me and I love it. I do not put raw meat into it, but I've done lasagne with Barilla no-boil lasagne sheets, just breaking them into smaller pieces. I've cooked homemade mac-and-cheese. I boil the noodles to al-dente before putting them into the pot. I tried lentils and rice once. The lentils were soft enough, but the rice was crunchy. Next time I'll either cook the rice first or use minute rice. My friends at work have been really impressed with the lunch crock pot and the meals I've been able to prepare in it.
