[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this mini crock! And that's no crock. My Daughter got it for me for Father's Day. I love it, I bought 6 extra inserts, I fill them with a batch of soup or stew, just about any leftover and freeze them. Pop it in the mini cooker when I get to work, nice and hot by lunch. Makes a lot of jealous people when they get the aroma of real food for lunch.
Pros: convenient., i even use it at home.
Cons: there isn't any unless you don't have a plug.
Practical way to have a hot meal when one has food allergies

I have a multitude of food allergies and must prepare my food myself. With the lunch crock a hot, safe meal is guaranteed. When others get take-out I can still enjoy the social aspect of dining with them, but have peace of mind that there will be no risk of allergic reaction. I recommend this product from the aspect of safety as well as economy. Emergency medical services are EXPENSIVE!
This is the fifth one I have bought. Got 1 for my wife to take to work, and everyone thought it was great so had to buy 4 more for people she works with. Everyone loves them. Will probably be buying more as other workers see them.
Pros: works great
I would recommend this to a friend!

We thank you for being a part of the Crock-Pot family, and for sharing your positive experience with your own family and friends.
This is the best item for a nice work lunch. I ordered extra containers - which I highly recommend. I get them ready in the morning and leave the crock at work - the food is SO much better than in the microwave. I have used Nutri-system lunches in them and they work fantastic. I liked it so much - I got one for home too. Several people at work have ordered them after seeing mine. It is fabulous!!
Pros: better than a microwave, fun to put together different things
I have owned this crock pot for a few weeks and have taken it to work several times. I love it. I have used it for warming up soup, lasagna and also spaghetti. This product doesn't dry out my food like a microwave does and I don't have to wait in line to use the microwave.
I'm trying to get away from using the microwave and this works perfectly for taking to work or leaving plugged in at home on the days I can come home for lunch. It only takes a little over an hour to heat up. I recently went wheat -free and took this with me each day to a 3 day seminar so I could eat my own food instead of eating out. It travels very well.
