Crock-Pot GO Portable Food Warmer, Electric Lunch Box with Detachable Cord

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an awesome lunch box! It looks nice, is a great size, and is fairly lightweight. The cord storage on the bottom is neat and secure. It warms food up and keeps it warm even 1-2 hours after being unplugged. Or, it can be used to keep food cool for up to 3 hours. I've found it to be easy to clean since the stainless steel container and inner lid can be washed in the dishwasher. The outer lid and warming base need to be handwashed, but that's been easy too because I haven't had them get messy. The only thing that could make it better for me would be another insert or a divider to give it more flexibility to have different foods that don't mix well. It would have been nice if some basic warming times were included, but the manual just says heat times will vary. It has a 3.5 cup capacity, and filled to the max line, I was able to warm up a 4 serving container of tomato soup in about 1 1/2 hours. A smaller size serving of shrimp pasta took only 30-40 minutes. I think these are reasonable times for a small slow cooker. I recommend this lunch box if you work in an office and want to avoid putting plastic containers into the messy microwave, or are a person who wants to keep food hot or cold on the go. I think it would make a great gift too.

I work in construction and having a hot meal is a God send! Now this is NOT a tradition crock pot cooker. It warms up your food. One setting ON. It takes about 3 hours to warm up a full container and you should stir it at least once. I have done one dish meals and lots of other leftovers in this Crock Pot. I have even done buttered bread on the bottom and hamburger patties on the bread. The bread will get toasty with enough time. For what it is, it works great. It is not a microwave! It's slow and even heat.
