I was hoping for a little more from this product since it has the Crock Pot brand name. It only warms food. You have to be sure to plug it in two hours before you need it. You can heat food in a microwave in a matter of minutes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to provide your feedback. The Crock-Pot® Lunch Crock® Food Warmer is designed to warm low and slow. You simply plug it in a few hours before your lunch and then you have convenient desktop-dining made easy.
I don't usually like to write reviews until I've had a chance to sue the product for awhile and see how it holds up but this fills such a great need for me that I'm writing now. So as far as the product itself, I plug the pot in when I get to work and have nice warm food ready for me at lunchtime. Just be careful on more liquidy items like soup as when you're transporting this you'll want to be sure the lid is on tight and that it's sitting flat. The reason this is so great is that I keep kosher and it's so great to have my own kosher pot to heat up my food in that I can watch the whole time. I bought one for meat and one for dairy (the color combos they have made our choice easy; red for meat and blue for dairy). It's been years since I've enjoyed a hot lunch at work due to kashrus concerns and now I go home full each day. Thanks for such a great product CP!
I've had this for about 2 weeks and use it often. I just plug it in when I get to work and it's hot by lunchtime. No waiting on the microwave. I love how the lid screws on and the cord is stored. Great product!
I purchased this personal size crock pot about a month ago and we have used it almost daily since we received it. It is an awesome warmer and just the perfect size for personal use. It warms up my food just perfectly and in good time.
