Hot and ready lunch on demand
This smartly designed mini crock pot checks all the boxes. I trusted the Crock Pot brand and it did not disappoint. From the antiturn pin to the storage for the removable cord, this company thought of everything. And it’s tiny but mighty. I put in precooked cold soup and 1 serving didn’t fill 1/2 the 20 ounce bowl. I plugged it up upon arrival and at lunch time it was steaming hot. I’ve been looking for something to warm leftovers for lunch and that’s exactly what this did. It slowly warms over hours. I only tried a 4 hour interval so I’m not sure if it will do 2-3 but the advantage to this slow warm is the food texture, moisture and quality didn’t change at all. If you’re used to a crock pot then you know this. For the people that had trouble with the lid, always lift the steam release valve and if the bowl is engaged with the anti turn pin, there was no problem opening lid. You eat right out of the bowl while it’s in the unit so you won’t burn yourself. There’s no other safe way and the instructions are clear on that. Lastly, this thing turns heads. It’s tiny, cute and practical. You don’t find that combo often. Several people at work literally ordered their own, on the spot, when they saw and heard me brag about mine. The only question I have is, what material was used for the inner bowl. I prefer stainless steel over aluminum but I’m suspicious that this is the latter. To limit exposure, I don’t pack my lunch at night but in the morning. That would add another layer of convenience. The good news is, it cleans up easily and so far, no food stains (There are already water stains but the booklet tells the remedy for that. ) Bottom line, read and follow the manual and this mini crock pot will warm your lunch slowly and right on time.

Great little find!
I’ve lost count of how many of these I have bought. I use mine almost every day at work. So much better than the shared microwave that is spotty about heating your food. This gets it piping hot in 1-1.5 hours without making leftovers mushy or weird. It is almost perfect! Only con is that it creates a vacuum as it heats and the little vent is too small, so if I forget to loosen it before plugging it in, then it can be hard to get enough of a grip on the hot pot to break the suction and unscrew the lid. I fix that by either remembering to loosen the insert (which is closed tightly to avoid spills on the way to work) or bringing a silicone jar opener to help with the job. That way, I don’t have to fight to enjoy a hot delicious lunch that is the envy of my coworkers. It’s economical, I can make it be super healthy, and it’s SO easy. My quickest tip is fill the insert with cooked rice, frozen veggies, and cooked chicken or ground beef/turkey. Then I bring a teriyaki-style sauce & sesame seeds in my lunch box. Super easy, tasty, homemade rice bowl for lunch! I wait for sales and get a couple of these mini crockpots. They are always coming in handy for Secret Santa office gifts or other gift-giving opportunities and my officemates are frequently commenting on how they wish they had one. I often take 2 inserts with me so I can plug in a 2nd round with a little soup to have as a late-afternoon snack which prevents me from arriving home famished. It’s really been a work lunch game-changer for me.

Great for work, hard to open
I wish I could give 5 stars but there is a design flaw. Once something inside is hot, it’s very difficult to open even with the vent open. It’s hot so you need protection and it takes a lot of effort. There is one tiny metal pin holding it so I imagine that breaking after opening enough times. That said it works great. I plug in 40-60 mins before lunch depending on what’s inside and lunch is hot and ready. No more waiting for the one microwave in the lunch room. It’s easy to clean and take with you. It’s a nice color. The cord storage is smart too. I like it and hope it lasts.

Works well
I like this product because it reheats leftover meat in a way that makes it taste better than microwaved leftover meat.I plug mine in 45-60 minutes before lunch and it is ready to go. It doesn’t get as hot as a microwave, but it definitely does the job well.It is easy to clean and carry to work.I get lots of questions and compliments on it.Recommend!
