Overview
Plug this soft-sided warmer into a 120V outlet and it heats a sealed food container placed inside through slow conduction, rather than heating food directly the way a microwave does.
It fits flat-bottomed containers up to about 8.75 by 6.75 by 2.5 inches, or 1.5 quarts, in materials from glass to Tupperware to foil, and needs no monitoring once plugged in. Reviewers who bought it for desks, cars, and shift work describe it heating cold or frozen food evenly over roughly 40 minutes to an hour, without the drying out a microwave can cause. One reviewer's unit arrived with a zipper tooth broken from factory packing, worth checking for on arrival rather than a design flaw.
- Fits containers up to 8.75 x 6.75 x 2.5 in
- Plugs into a standard 120V outlet
- Slow conduction heat, no drying out
- No timer or settings to set
Who it's for
Good for anyone eating packed meals at a desk, in a car, or on shift work where a microwave is not on hand or has a long line. Not a fit for someone who wants to heat food loose, without a container, or who needs the bag to hold heat once unplugged.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who used it for years call out that it reheats frozen or cold meals evenly without drying them out, and more than one owner bought a second unit after the first lasted a decade of regular use. The recurring complaint is that the bag does not hold heat long once unplugged, so it works best left plugged in until you are ready to eat. One reviewer received a unit with a zipper tooth broken from tight factory packing, though the rest of the zipper track still worked.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Needs to stay plugged in the whole time
- One reported zipper defect from factory packing
- Heating time varies, up to about an hour
