I love this product...it is the second I've owned. I prefer a hot lunch to a sandwich, and this allows me to bring leftovers like stew, Mac and cheese, chili, chicken and rice, pulled pork, and heat it up without the poison of microwaves. It's also a great way to heat up a can of soup. I just plug it in 30 minutes before I plan to eat. I am very happy to see my new crock has a guard where the plug is attached....that was the undoing of my last one...it split, frayed and blew out a breaker at work, much to the hilarity of all. So thanks for making a great product even better!
I am a crock pot nut! My husband bought 4 of these so he and I, and our children could take healthy meals on the go! My kids have stopped carrying it as the lids don't stay tight and everything leaks all over their school books. I bring it only when I think it won't leak. It's a shame, because it works perfect. I am a teacher, and with only one microwave and a faculty room 5 miles away...it is the perfect thing, but I can't have it leak all over my papers either! :-)

I bought this for my son 's birthday to use at work He does not like to use a microwave. He says it is much better than a Thermos, which only kept his food lukewarm. He already has used it several times and is very happy with it.
I have owned mine for years and use it up to 3 or 4 times a year. I warm up leftovers, cook cans of soup in it, etc. It is convenient for me as a teacher because I can prepare it the night before or that morning, plug it in when I get to school and it is then ready for me at lunch time. I do stir it through out the morning depending on what I have. But my lunch is always really warm without being too hot. I am thankful because I don't have to spend any of my 15 minutes for lunch trying to prepare or warm up my lunch in the microwave. It is easy to clean daily. I LOVE this Lunch Crock!!!!
