HOTLOGIC Mini Heated Lunch Box- Portable Electric Food Warmer for Men and Women - Great for Work, Office, and Construction - Cook, Reheat, and Eat on the Go - 12V - Red

I am a flight attendant and this little device has revolutionized what I am able to eat on the go. Instead of warming canned soup (filled with sodium and preservatives) on a coffee pot burner in a galley between services, I can now eat a healthful, home cooked meal! It fits in either my carry on bag or my large sized insulated lunch box from Travel Pro. The electric cord tucks neatly away in a back pocket so it doesn't get tangled. It's easy to keep clean and has a good strong zipper and pulls on it.I ordered mine with the Pyrex dish included, which completely fills the Hot Logic Mini. Initially I would pack a main protein and two side portions inside this dish, separating the side portions in little silicone cupcake cups. It did the trick for the most part but with all the moving around my bags endure, some of the side portions spilled out (I don't like candied yams in my spinach so...) Because of this and the fact that I am on the road for three days at a time, I have since purchased several two cup rectangle Pyrexs for my main meal portion and a few smaller, square one cup Pyrex dishes for side portions. I can fit one of each at a time in the Hot Logic Mini (one big, one small). Because these are both shorter dishes, this also allows me enough room on top of the dishes to pack flexible ice packs INSIDE the Hot Logic.I refrigerate the meal and side I am planning to eat on day one, put it in the Hot Logic Mini and put ice packs on top. When I am ready to eat, I take out the ice pack, plug in the HLM and in fifteen to twenty minutes I am ready to eat! The other meals I freeze and keep sealed up in my lunch box until day two. At the start of day two I take all the ice packs off the frozen meal to let it defrost. For day three I pack dried or canned goods that can be warmed. I can also easily earn instant oatmeal, soup, leftovers...really anything.What impressed me most about this thing is how quickly, evenly and thoroughly this device warms up and cooks food. With a tight sealed lid my food is always perfectly warm and moist. I've cooked and rewarmed takeout food from airports and nothing has ever dried out or burnt.I can't say enough good things about this device. It really has expanded the healthfulness of the meals I eat while flying. It has also saved me probably $15-20 a day on eating out at airports between flights. Well worth the initial investment.

I recently purchased the HOTLOGIC Mini Portable Electric Lunch Box, and it has been a fantastic addition to my daily routine! This compact and innovative lunch box is perfect for keeping my meals warm and ready to eat, whether I'm at home, at work, or on the go.One of the standout features is its portability. The lunch box is lightweight and easy to carry, making it ideal for travel or commuting. The model I purchased came with 120V plug but you can also buy the version that has a 12V vehicle plug, which would allow you to use it in a car or truck to heat up meals on the road.The heating performance is impressive. The lunch box uses conductive heat to reheat food without overcooking or drying it out. It maintains a consistent temperature of around 165°F-180°F, ensuring that my food stays warm and safe to eat. I've used it to heat up everything from frozen meals to fresh vegetables, and it has worked flawlessly every time- the only downside is that if you eat lunch at 12 you’d better plug it in from 10am for a hotter lunch by 12PM- and that is exactly what I do besides I bypass the Microwave line at work too- so it’s a no brainer.Another great feature is the easy-to-use design. There are no buttons or dials – simply plug it in, place your food inside, and let it do its magic. The lunch box is compatible with various container types, including plastic, glass, and compostable containers.I highly recommend*****

Hot plate in an insulated lunch bag. Heats my lunch without drying it out or burning it. Took homemade freezer lasagna to work — unbaked. Put it in the box, by lunch time it was hot and the noodles were perfectly cooked. Threw a baggie with rolls in last hour before lunch. They came out amazing. Fits a 28oz flat disposable container.

My husband farms and during planting and harvest has to be in the combines or tractors all day and night and gets so tired of cold sandwiches or cold food. I saw this one day and thought about giving it a try - and my husband has never been so happy! Now all the guys he works with are buying them. LOL. He has warmed up pizza, cooked hotdogs, warmed up pre-cooked bacon, hamburgers....he said he just puts the food in there, plugs it in and about 45 minutes to an hour later and tada - warm food. He said it makes the cab of the combine smell so good! He said it is a savior to him because he doesn't have to keep eating the same deli sandwiches over and over. Best thing ever. Will probably buy a few more to keep on hand! Perfect for traveling. Working in jobs like his. Working on jobs you are on the road a lot and want to avoid fast food or spending money eating out. You must have the correct plug in for this - it is NOT a wall outlet type! But I have seen they make those too!

Man do I love this thing. I do blue collar work and this has been my saving grace to keep from eating out. Next to no complaints when it comes to how it works with the exception of you need a second container to keep it cold if you want certain foods to last. It heats leftovers very quickly and cooks from frozen most foods. It's my favorite for pasta sauces like Alfredo because is doesn't separate the oil from the cheese like it would in a microwave.The reason why it's 4 instead of 5 stars:The quality of the insulating material is just not very durable. My first one, the heating pad worked exceptionally the entire time I had it but the insulation because flaking off and coming undone just after the first year mark. Easily fixed by registering the lunchbox and hopefully of this second one does the same, then I can get it replaced.This second one is obviously newer but this complaint is that the microwave safe container they sent with it arrived broke.Overall, absolutely the best lunchbox I've had when I need to eat on the go. Worth the money to me.
