I totally enjoy this product! When I enter the teachers lounge on a cold winters day, after recess duty, I know that my soup will be warm and waiting for me. I cannot express what a comfort that is. The size of the interior is perfect .. maybe too big for most soups. I have not tried any noodle or rice and sauce dishes yet, but I think those would work too. Temperature - produces a just starting to steam soup. Seal works during transport. Cleanup is easy.
Pros: transports well, warms food to a good temperature
This little crock is the best! Our staff lunchroom is so crowded at lunchtime and lots of times I don't have time to sit and eat something hot. With my little crock it's always hot and ready when I am. My husband tells me I look like Laura Ingalls going to school with her lunch pail:)
I have really enjoyed my little crock pot warmer. Just put leftovers in it, then you are ready for lunch the next day. Warms food in about 3 hours, just eat right out of the pot!
I really like my Crock-Pot food warmer, and I use it every day at the office.
It's great to have a nice hot lunch, without having to fight my co-workers for access to the microwave.
The only feature that doesn't quite make it for me is the cord. There is a holder space on the bottom side of the product, but it's VERY difficult to get the cord to tuck in easily and properly when the plug is in its holder.
To get around this issue, I use a rubber band keep the cord nice and snug against the base of this product. I'm not crazy about this work-around, but it's better than the alternatives.
Bought one for myself a year ago, now buying one for my son for Christmas. So easy to use... just put the insert in the Crock Pot, plug it in and in a couple hours, hot lunch! Bought extra inserts, so it's easy to pack lunch once for all week. Then it's just grab and go.
I love my little crock pot. I hate waiting in line for a microwave at work. I don't like going out to eat fast food at lunch. So I ended up eating a cold sandwich or salad every day. Now I plug my little pot in about 1 1/2 hours before lunch and i get a good hot lunch. I usually have left overs to take or I just take a can of soup to heat. I even cooked ramen noodles in that little guy. I love it. I can have home made lunch and no waiting. It's awesome.
Pros: easey home cooked lunch, fast and convienient, cute little coloured pot
Cons: the lid doesn't stay on the inner pot when it heat
