This product is my savior! Warms up soups/chili, etc in a matter of an hour or two and keeps it warm/hot for a long time even after unplugged. Easy to use, easy to travel with and easy to clean. Highly recommended this product to everyone!
I keep the pot in my office and take the liner back and forth. It heats up very quickly and is small enough to keep in my desk. I have a second one at home to make oatmeal. I set it on a timer the night before and the oatmeal is ready for breakfast. Perfect and creamy every time.
LOVE this product - so handy - we use them at work.

The pot warms things up perfectly - great for anything - soup, stew, rice, veggies, meat - everything - and it does not smell while cooking - which is a plus at work. No one wants the smell of food in the office all morning.
I highly recommend it. We are three admins sitting in a row and all three of us use ours at least two or three times a week.
I love this mini crock pot. It holds about 20 oz - more than enough for a lunch. I use it at work and bring leftovers, soup (a Campbells size can fits). Heats slowly and keeps food moist.
I was concerned about the grey inner lid and seal - wasn't sure I could get it off after the food was heated but amazingly, it pops up during the heating process and makes it so easy to get to your food
This has become a go-to-item when I want to take a hot homemade lunch to work. I bought extra inserts so when I have leftovers from the Crockpot dinner I simply put it in the inserts and put into the refrigerator. The next day I take it to work and put it in the Crockpot base and plug it in and by noon it is hot and ready-to-eat!!!
Pros: all pro
Cons: have not found one
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your review! We love that you like using our Crock-Pot® Lunch Crock® Food Warmer. We appreciate your feedback and this would motivate us to continue making high-quality and top of the line products.
I bought this when we were in the middle of a cold snap so I could bring hot meals to work for lunch.
This works as promised, my meal was nice and hot. I did not have any problem removing the inside tin from the outer part due to it being too hot. If anything the stew was very hot.
My only complaint is with the instructions. I wish they would have noted approximate times this takes to heat up different dishes. I don't think I needed 3 hours for it to heat up the stew.
I would suggest a redesign of the inside lid. When I try to pull it off I am worried the bowl and lid will go flying.
Pros: easy to carry, easy to clean, heats quickly and thoroughly, great value for the $
Cons: i would redesign inside lid, more info on approx heat up times
