Excellent Food Heating Option for Work
on January 25, 2026
Posted by: juies
Frequency of use:Daily
Length of ownership:1 week
When you don't like to use a microwave or do not have one available, this is an excellent solution. It heats in the convenient short amount of time that it states in the manual. Also, it heats just to the point where you need to blow your food a little bit to take a bite. It holds the right amount of food. It is light weight, but sits still while using. The first lid removes so easily, with just one twist. The lid on the metal bowl screws on and off easily as well. The feature I like the most is that the bowl lifts out of the base. It can be washed separate from the base, eliminating the worry of getting water in the mechanical part for the plug. Another favorite feature is that if I did not get the chance to eat (being a school teacher), I can unplug it and it will stay warm until I do. Otherwise, I take it home in the bowl to save for another day. I have even needed to leave work while it was hot. All I had to do is unplug it, pick the whole unit up with the handle, and place it in my cart. I had no issues; it did not leak and the heat did not mess up other items in my cart. Additionally, the plug is not flimsy. It pushes right into the base. For a person who is a little OCD like myself, I love that it is on the side and not the back. It's great not having to turn it around to the back to plug and unplug it, especially when it is pretty warm to the touch. Lastly, the base can stay at work while I prep a meal in the bowl to save time in the mornings. This is the reason I am taking the time to write a review, I want to get more bowls and lids so I can prep multiple meals on the weekends. I'm hopeful the company will make them available separate from having to buy the whole base to get more. I hope these details will give you the confidence that your purchase will perfectly fit your wants and needs. This is absolutely a 5 star product!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great little pot

Love this little crockpot, it warms up food to a good temperature and it the perfect size for work lunch. My only wish is that it would be nice to have the ability to buy extra inserts and lids so that it would be easier for everyday use as I don't run my dishwasher everyday. Handwashing isn't terrible it just would be that little bit more convenient if I could have three insert pots and lids.

Lasted 3 days

It worked for less than a week. I loved it for 3 days. Day 4, it stopped working. The power is on, but there is no heat—such a bummer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Owned for a few years, great product

I own two of these portable crock-pot and I love them! I purchased these a few years ago and I am still so happy with their performance. They heat food up without burning or the food smelling or tasting like other food from sharing a community microwave. I heat up my food in the privacy of my office and I am not in the lunch traffic waiting while standing there awkwardly with my food in hand. The food holds about 20oz and for me that is perfect, I did see the bigger one but I do not eat that much. Having these for so many years, taking them back and forth, I carry the entire unit until this last year. It is banged around and still in almost perfect condition. I love this crock-pot, the only this I could say is I wish they sold the inner bowl and lids separately. I have to wash the bowl/lid every single night and I just don't want to have to do that. Recommend for sure.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lunch saver!

I bought this to heat my lunch in my classroom and I’m amazed at how quickly it heats my food. If I’m bringing frozen I put it on 3 hours before lunch. If I’m bringing non-frozen I can put it on an hour or so before lunch. From pasta to meat dishes to chowders/soups/chilis, It’s always hot by lunchtime and I no longer have to wait in line for the 1 microwave in the lounge. I also love that I can put leftovers in there when cleaning up dinner so less dishes.

Would like to purchase replacement insert/lids

How can extra replacement inserts/lids be purchased? I think those would be nice for meal prepping for a few days at a time. Purchased this as a gift for my daughter last year and she LOVES it! She uses it several times a week for work lunches. She loves having a warm lunch ready to eat as soon as she gets a break between clients without having to spend time going to the microwave and waiting for her food to warm up that way.

No way to use in the car
on October 8, 2025
Posted by: GERTYV
I am a homecare RN and wanted something to heat food up in the car since I'm tired of cold meals. I cannot find a car adapter this will work with and ended up buying a power inverter to use. I liked the Crock pot name but may end up purchasing one specifically designed for USB use. I wish there was an option to purchase a car cord or that you could have 2 different packaging options for each type of cord. I would give it 5 stars if there was a car cord.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Lunch Crock-Pot® Food Warmer. We understand how helpful it would be to have a dedicated car adapter or dual cord option for on-the-go use, especially in your role as a home care RN, where warm meals can make a big difference. While the Lunch Crock-Pot® currently doesn’t come with a car cord option, your feedback is very valuable and will be passed along to our team for future product improvements.
In the meantime, your solution of using a power inverter is a great workaround, but we also recommend checking portable food warmers designed for vehicle use if that’s a more convenient option.
Thank you for choosing Crock-Pot® and for all the important work you do every day.

Game Changer for busy teachers
on September 3, 2025

This crock pot is an absolute life saver - I bring the liner with me to work every day, pop it in sometime in the morning when I remember, and enjoy a nice hot lunch at my desk (teacher life!) at the perfect temperature - the convenience of not having to cross the building to wait for the microwave seriously makes such a difference. If you're busy and/or have ADHD, you need this crock pot. I eat a pretty good size lunch, so I need to keep extra snacks at my desk as well since this is just a touch on the small size for me.
CROCK POT, IF YOU ARE LISTENING... please, please PLEASE make extra liners and sell them separately. It would make meal prep an absolute DREAM if I could prep several days at a time and be ready for my whole week.
I would recommend this to a friend!
