Awesome product. Doesn't smell up the office with food smells which would annoy coworkers. Seems to heat to the perfect temperature whether it's on for almost 4 hours or as little as 2 hours. I add cheese about 20 minutes before lunch and keep it unplugged until lunch. It's small and only takes up the space of an insulated lunch container. The cord wraps in a manner so it looks like a non-electric container (so it doesn't draw attention to itself). The handle is great for carrying, so I usually keep the unit all together and carry it back and forth each day instead of keeping the unit at work and just carrying the removable liner container. The removable container and cover are very easy to hand-wash. It holds the perfect amount of food - enough to make me uncomfortably full (so I don't have to worry about being hungry after lunch).
I bought one of the lunch crocks. Thought it a little pricey for a lunch; however I have to carry lunch daily & grew tired of sandwiches. So glad I gave it a try! It is awesome! I love it! Food is perfect temp, never dry. Bought 4 more for gifts. I would love to see some "inserts" where you could separate foods for a real meat and 2 sides! Thank You Rival for such an innovative product.
Pros: easy to clean in dishwasher or by hand, perfect size even for hearty appetites, food always at perfect temp never dry, light and easy to carry, like the power on light
I purchased the Crock Pot because I thought it was cute and an easy way to heat up my food. This was the best decision I made so far in2014. I bring it to work everyday and heat up everything from chilli, lasagana to soup. Everyone at my job wants one or wants to purchase it as a gift for someone. I love it.
I have warmed soups, stews and casseroles in this for lunch and it's just the right temperature for all of them. The food has been great no matter how long it was plugged in. I put frozen vegies with cooked rice and chicken and everything was warmed perfectly. The seal on the inner lid is great, even soups don't spill when carrying them. I put the food in the serving bowl the night before, put it in the fridge, and put it in the crock-pot in the morning. Can you tell it's my new favorite lunch box? I love that I don't have to use a microwave and the container doesn't leach any chemicals into my food like plastic would.
I was a Short Bowel Syndrome patient at birth and as a result, to optimize my nutritional intake, I have to eat more often than usual.
I shopped tirelessley to find a comfortable and healthy way to heat my meals while working. After searching for almost 12 months, I found this great product that allows me to prepare my meals overnight, pack the next day and enjoy perfectly warmed meals!
I bought my warmer almost 2 years ago and it is still working well. I have no damages or defects and I recently purchased 2 additional inserts so I can have 3 meals, since I am typically working long hours. No one even knows I have one at work! I keep the warmer in my desk drawer and plug it in behind the drawer.
I warm everything in it....soup, stews, potatoes, rice, vegetables...you name it! Eating while working and staying healthy in the process has become more enjoyable and feels normal rather than a hindrance; thanks to this simple, yet effective, not to mention, cute invention.
I highly recommend this product. It is light, compact, easy to clean and safe to operate.
Thank you to the masterminds behind this. You have truly changed a life for the best!
I'm so glad I purchased this little crockpot. It's made my lunchtime the highlight of my workday. I'm able to bring leftovers and canned soup to heat up in the crock pot. Plug it in when I get to work and it's ready at noon. My only negative is with the inner lid. I wished it fitted more tightly so I could travel with soup in it without leaking. For now I bring my soup in its can or I freeze homemade soup in the inner container.
i bought this originally for my hubby to have something hot for lunch in the winter at his job. he loved it from the first use. he can have leftovers or soup ready when he is and not have to "nuke" something and wait. i bought myself one and even though i stay home, i can have something ready also. if i get busy, lunch is there. i did buy extra insets and when i make big batches of meals, i can pack extras right into them and refrigerate til needed or just pack the leftovers right into them. highly recommend to anyone, busy or not. it seems to fit everyone.
