I bought this because I saw there was a Christmas special and loved the idea of not needing the community microwave at work. So far I really love it but I have found that certain features makes me think if I would repurchase this item.
Cons: The rubber lid when warming pops up and makes me think twice in transporting soups. Just make sure to take a box so it does not move in your car and stays upright.
The plastic Lid when it warms seems to pop up a bit does not sit flush.
Cleaning was simple but the rubber lid even after washing with bleach had the smell of day before lunch. It probably will sit in bleach for a few minutes that may help.
Really that’s all the bad things about this. I plug it in at 8 am and at 11 my food is warm. So far I have warmed rice and a thick medium rare steak and chicken.
Also many people complain about the size but this container fits one single plate serving. So I packed chicken rice and broccoli, and it fit in one plate and looked like a lot. I just hope they can get this lid under control.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you so much for your helpful review. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our products and this will be forwarded to our product team.
I'm so happy to have received one for a birthday gift! I'd been wanting one for quite some time, there's nothing like a "Warm" lunch, especially on cold days. I liked mine so much, I gave one as a gift .

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are very glad to hear you are enjoying your new Lunch Crock®!
I bought these for Christmas gifts and kept one for myself. It is great for lunch in the office because I can plug it in an hour before lunch and it be ready for me, no more lines at the microwave. I've cooked soup and leftovers in it with no problems. The only downfall if you cook food with the inner lid on it will shrink and not for anymore. Also when you wash the inner bowl it will leave a weird color, I am told this is due to the type of material. Beside that I love this thing!

I purchased 4 of these as teacher gifts & they all loved them! It seemed like the perfect thing to give them as it's tough getting to a microwave at lunchtime when all the faculty is in there at the same time. If any of them has trouble with them in the future, I'll update my review. I'll throw in the fact that if you're ordering these, be sure to order in advance, because while they arrived in a timely manner, they still arrived later than I'd anticipated and almost didn't arrive in time for my son to give them as gifts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this from my parents as a gift and use it at least 3/5 days a week at work. I just love being able to portion out and use up wonderful leftovers again and again! Might need to get another insert so I don't need to wash every day:)
I would recommend this to a friend!
