Thank you for taking your time to submit a review. We are sorry to hear that this lunch crock did not satisfy your expectations regarding its capacity. At the moment, this item is only available in two sizes; 20- ounce and 24 ounce. Another great use we can suggest for this product is for dips. Should you wish to talk to us, you may reach our customer care department at 1-800-323-9519.
My husband bought this little crock pot for me and I love it. I do not put raw meat into it, but I've done lasagne with Barilla no-boil lasagne sheets, just breaking them into smaller pieces. I've cooked homemade mac-and-cheese. I boil the noodles to al-dente before putting them into the pot. I tried lentils and rice once. The lentils were soft enough, but the rice was crunchy. Next time I'll either cook the rice first or use minute rice. My friends at work have been really impressed with the lunch crock pot and the meals I've been able to prepare in it.
This works great for me. I am housebound and frequently use a wheelchair and the gal that helps me puts my meals into this and instead of something cold, I enjoy a hot meal!
I have been using one of these for years! I keep it in my desk for the days I bring soup or something similar. I plug it in at 12:00 and lunch is ready to eat at 1:00. A lady at work has been eyeing mine so glad to be able to gift her one.
I bought 6 of these for Christmas gifts and kept one for myself. One was given to a first year college student who is required to live in the dorms and microwaves are not allowed. She said this is perfect to put in oatmeal, can of soup, top ramen....then while it heats she studies and it is ready when she is hungry without timing meals to the cafeteria hours of operation. I use it to bring in my non-frozen leftovers, plug it in when I get to work, by lunchtime 3-4 hours later it is the perfect temp. Food stays moist and I don't have to waste break time to heat up in the microwave at work. It saves so much money this way! My only complaint is that I have been using this several months now and the plastic lid for the insert is warped and doesn't stay sealed. Not a huge deal but something that they need to send back to the engineers to fix.
I bought 6 of these last year. I gave 4 away as gifts and kept 2 for my household. We have used them a lot for lunches, but have also used several times for dips to bring to a party! Fits a can of Rotel and valveeta perfectly for a queso dip! Highly recommend this product! Great quality and great price!
