I absolutely love my new lunch crock. Now I am addicted to having soup at work! The only downfall is that the cord is pretty short. There are no temperature controls, this is strictly for re-heating/warming your food. I prefer to bring a fan of chunky or progresso soup and empty it in when I get into the office and it’s ready to go for lunch. Unplug about 10-15 mins before you want to eat and then let cool all the way to take the insert out for bringing home. (I bring the insert with lid to and from work and leave the base on my desk).
We also have a couple of these to my father in law for Christmas. He loves being able to warm his food in the camper for hunting instead of using the old microwave he’s got. Great product and so glad we purchased several because they do make awesome gifts!
