I bought this for my son 's birthday to use at work He does not like to use a microwave. He says it is much better than a Thermos, which only kept his food lukewarm. He already has used it several times and is very happy with it.
I have owned mine for years and use it up to 3 or 4 times a year. I warm up leftovers, cook cans of soup in it, etc. It is convenient for me as a teacher because I can prepare it the night before or that morning, plug it in when I get to school and it is then ready for me at lunch time. I do stir it through out the morning depending on what I have. But my lunch is always really warm without being too hot. I am thankful because I don't have to spend any of my 15 minutes for lunch trying to prepare or warm up my lunch in the microwave. It is easy to clean daily. I LOVE this Lunch Crock!!!!
After only one use, the insert lid does not close tightly anymore. And the insert has stains/marks that cannot be removed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This works great except the lid pops off and doesn’t seal

This heats uniformly, unlike a microwave oven. Makes a hot lunch feel more nourishing. My only complaint is the lid. They don't fit tightly after a couple of uses - I think the heat from the pot makes them expand. (This was with hand-washing, not the dishwasher.) Therefore I'll have to carry the tiffin very carefully, and if I want to have soup, I will carry that in a separate container. I happily show off my new appliance to office mates as they trek to the dirty, crowded microwave.
