Overview
Plug it in about an hour before lunch and Crock-Pot's 20 ounce Electric Lunch Box warms a single portion through a detachable-cord base, a spill-resistant lid, and a dishwasher-safe inner container.
- 20 ounce capacity, single portion
- Detachable warming cord
- Seal and store spill-resistant lid
- Dishwasher-safe inner container and lid
Who it's for
Suits someone bringing a single meal to work, school, or the road who has no microwave nearby and can plan ahead. It is not built for reheating multiple portions at once or for anyone needing food hot within a few minutes.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers most often mention a long warm-up: most say plan on 45 minutes to roughly an hour, and some run it 1.5 to 2 hours ahead of a meal to get food fully hot, with the lid lifted occasionally while eating. On the positive side, teachers and students repeatedly praise it for skipping a shared microwave line, several report it still works well after years of near-daily use, and multiple reviewers single out its handling of soup and frozen leftovers as reliably even.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No shared microwave line at work or school
- Handles soup and frozen leftovers evenly
- Dishwasher-safe container for easy cleanup
- Reported to hold up over years of use
- Long warm-up, 45 minutes to two hours
- Lid needs occasional lifting while eating
- Only one 20 ounce portion at a time
Performance notes
The base heats gradually through a detachable cord, and reviewers describe anywhere from 45 minutes to as long as 1.5 to 2 hours before food is fully hot depending on density, so timing before a meal matters more than it would with a microwave. A seal and store lid limits spills during the commute, and the inner container and lid are dishwasher safe for cleanup afterward.
