This thing has saved me probably over thousand dollars over last year. It's great for heating up cans of soup or leftovers. When I bought this I was a little worried about the stainless steel liner, I figured it was going to be a royal pain to clean,but cleaning is extremely easy. I've used this product 6 days a week for a year now only problem I've had is the power cord the shielding is cracking where it goes into the pot
This product heats up my lunch really fast. It is almost too hot by lunch time. It holds just the right amount for one person, although my husband usually needs a little something extra with his meal. I would say it holds about as much as a cereal bowl. Everyone who has seen it wants one of their own!
This little crock pot is very handy and does a great job at warming up food! I usually work through most of my lunches, so it is nice to have my food waiting and ready for me when I get a chance to eat it.
I was wanting something to keep cheese dips warm. I saw these slow warmers and decided to try one. Actually I bought two. They are great. Money well spent.
I bought this for my husband who works on a construction sight. The microwaves and vending machines are in a different trailer on site and it is not always handy to walk over there to warm up your lunch especially if it is pouring rain. When it came I was surprised it was smaller than I had expected, but it fits very nicely into his 6pk cooler sized lunch box that he carries (like most construction guys). He plugged it in and his office started to smell his lunch and they were all like what is that? He told them and that night a whole bunch of them wanted the link to where I bought it. He said he plugged it in about an hour before lunch and it was perfect temperature and ready to go when he was ready to eat. He did learn the hard way that you should take the clear top off the internal cup before heating. It can just sit on the top, but not secured for easier handling. I bought him an extra cylinder so one can be filled when one is dirty. All and all it is a great little product that works as intended and is a great price. I think this would be great for a college kid as well. A retractable cord on this thing would be awesome!
Pros: fits in a 6pk cooler to carry other lunch items
Perfect size, food is heated through and through not like the microwave, cold in spots. I bought one for my husband too, we both keep the bases at work and bring the bowls back and forth.
I absolutely LOVE the lunch crock. It sits on my desk at work and I use it all the time through the cold months for lunches (soups, chilis, burritos (filling in the crock, add to tortillas), leftovers, etc). Sometimes I even use it twice a day for breakfast at my desk too (frozen egg/cheese/meat scrambles - they heat up perfectly in the lunch crock) so I had to order extra containers. Basically, anything you could heat up in a microwave can be put in the lunch crock. And it's always heated thoroughly and doesn't taste like it's been nuked like microwave food does. I find soups only need about 1-2 hours to fully heat up. I always have to turn it off when I get ready to eat the food because it keeps everything so hot. Only one "complaint" - wish it had an on/off switch so I don't have to crawl under my desk at work to plug it in and unplug it all the time. Otherwise, great product and I love it! I've bought a few more for friends and family. The lunch crocks are the perfect size and the handle makes it easy to carry if you want to take the entire unit back and forth. I really recommend this product for hot lunches!
I use this every day at work for my lunch. I leave the base at work and bring the food container with me in the morning, drop it in, and by lunch time have a nice hot lunch. Sure beats having to use the dirty microwave that everyone else uses! I've heated up soup, meatloaf, pasta, rice, chicken, and it all turns out great.
