I'm not able to leave for lunch so I eat at my desk. This small Crock-Pot makes having a warm meal so easy. A can of soup fits in there comfortably and I have a warm nutritious meal.
I guess it'd be Crockpot to make a well designed lunch warmer. This fairly evenly heats my food and keeps it hot and not drying up even when left for several hours.
The paint on the silver colored plastic (Black Licorice model) started coming off quickly though. Looks kind of cheap now. Oh well.
I wish they made a bigger version of this. I got the 32 Oz CrockpotGo but the bottom only heat design is noticeably worse than the Lunch Crock (I returned it). If you don't have very wet food or leave the food for several hours, then the food at the bottom gets dry/burnt. Hopefully Crockpot makes a larger Lunch Crock that keeps the same even heating design since the CrockpotGo is a downgrade in terms of heating.
I just picked one of these up. I was looking for a low energy consumption cooking device for camping. I purchased a small solar generator/ battery bank. It was the smallest big battery I could find. Max energy pull is like 75 watt. Even though this crockpot is like 50-60, I didn't have high hopes my battery could handle it. I got an extra insert as well. As soon as I got home I plugged it in and tested. It's not going to be the fastest method of cooking but I'm excited to wake up, plug it in, throw in some oatmeal, tend to the fire, take the dog for a walk, and come back to the camp site to a warm breakfast. No more energy bars or dried fruit. Should be excited to come up with new recipes for it. I figured I'll get maybe 3 hours of cooking before I need to charge my battery. Heck I can cook in the tent if it's raining. I'm really excited.
As a classroom teacher, I have found this to be an amazing time saver and a great way for me to up my good food intake and reduce how much food I need to microwave. It is easy to use, convenient, it heats food up to near-perfect heat for lunch, and it is darn cute.
I have a new one, and I have to say I like the old one with the cord didn’t come off because this cord always is falling off. And I have friends that want one but now everybody is price gouging them since it’s been on TikTok. Sad
