a co-worker bought this in a few weeks ago. i had to get it. my lunch is 30 mins, so this lunch crock pot is the best thing ever...! being Japanese, i use it for curry rice, fried rice, spam & rice, baked beans & chopped up lil smokies, new england & manhattan clam chowders. i think I'm gonna do chili this week... 5 stars all the way around...! I love crock pots...!
I just bought this and now I can't wait for cooler weather so I can bring soup for lunch every day! It is the perfect size for one person, and I just plug it in at my desk when I get here and the soup is hot and ready to eat at lunchtime. It's also very convenient with the dishwasher safe insert and lids. I wish I'd had this years ago!
I bought three because I use them daily to take my lunch to work and I'm so glad I did! I plug it in and my food is heated through nicely by lunch time. I love that it doesn't dry out my food, it just keeps it hot.
Bought two and thought it can be used as cooker outdoor. However, the top pops when the food is gething hot, therefore it can only used as warmer.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to provide your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience. The Crock-Pot® Lunch Crock® Food Warmer is only to be used for heating up leftovers. The warmer does not cook food.
This lunch crockpot works great. My kids take it to school and 1 hour before lunch they plug it in and there food is warm for lunch time. I highly recommend this for kids lunches.
I bought a set of three of these about a month ago & gave one as a gift & just used one of mine for the first time, and I love it! I especially love how self contained it is with the tuck-away cord & locking lid. It heated a whole can of soup to the perfect temp in three hours time.
