I bought several as Christmas gifts for friends and one for myself. Used mine for the first time today, twice! Brought my oatmeal  for breakfast, then used it to warm soup for lunch. It didn’t take very long to heat my soup to a perfect temp. Easy to use and clean up was quick. Very happy with my little pot! Since this was the first time I used it, I was hesitant to give it five stars, but it certainly is a contender!
