“Works like a dream. I plugged it in for 5 hours and the food was kepted at a temperature where it was steamy but not scalding hot. A must have for travelling or work. Be careful when flipping it over, the tip could scratch your countertop if you move it around.” — Ellen
“This mini crock pot has been absolutely amazing to use. The microwaves are crap at my work, since using this thing I’ve had a piping hot meal every single day. I found with the microwave at my work the top would be super hot and bottom still cold as if it came out of the fridge. When using this the food is hot from top to bottom. The bowl size looks small but it’s really deceiving, I’m a bigger guy (230lbs) and the portion size is perfect. The lid to seal the bowl seals really well, but it is easy to think you screwed it on properly and it isn’t, you know that it’s not on properly when you go to heat it up, then maybe 30 minutes in the lid pops off and makes a pretty loud noise, but no big deal, I screw it back on properly and it continues to go to work. The light on the exterior of the pot is nice so that you know it’s on and working. I would say to get the food to it’s hottest point you gotta leave it plugged in for about 2 hours. But I’ve found 1.5 hours heats it to about 90% which is still good enough. Washing the bowl is a little tough once the pot is off it gets cold pretty quickly, I’d say in 10-15 minutes, if you don’t wash it right away the food will get hard and stick to the side of the bowl, and it can be a hassle to remove, but not impossible by any means, just need some elbow grease. Other then that I have no complaints with it, I absolutely love it and it’s been a game changer for work lunches. Definitely recommend.” — Matt Buccieri
“I ordered this for lunches at work, and when it came in the mail it was everything I hoped it would be from size, to color and all that. Today I got to use it for the first time and it works better than I expected!!! I plugged it in about 2 hrs before I wanted to eat, and the food was HOT! I need one in every color now” — Timber clendenning
“I bought this to bring to work. Works amazing. I plug it in about an hour before I want to eat and it warms it and keeps it at a perfect temperature. Does not burn if I can’t get to my food right away. Love how the crock comes out for quick cleaning and the top securely screws on to prevent spillage. I loosen the top a bit when I plug it in. Love, love, love this so much!” — Brian & Sky
