Elite Gourmet EFW-6080T Warmables Lunch Box Electric Food Warmer with Stainless Steel Pot, 32 Ounce, Grey Teal

It’s gonna take a while for your food to heat up. But when it does you’re good to go. This may have been the case for me since I warmed cold soup. If you’re doing things like that I’d say warm it up for and hour and a half to two hours.

I love this little pot! I work in NYC so going out to buy lunch is something you do to get out of the office but it's also costly, especially if you opt for healthier food choices. I am a vegetarian and the microwave at my job is used by so many people that I want nothing to do with it so I would just always bring cold food. Now with this little pot I can heat up whatever I want, even if it's water to make tea. The great thing is that I don't always have to bring a prepared lunch with me, I can just grab some ingredients and prep it in the pot! It does take some time to warm up so I just start it a while before I'm planning on eating lunch. I'm eating much better food now for lunch and with the coronavirus happening, it's one less place I have to go into every day.

It does take a long time to heat up. But I plugged it in as soon as I got to work and about 3 hours later it started feeling warm. So by the time lunch comes around it will be ready to go. Just keep in mind that it does not take 30 to 60 min. It will take much longer than that. But I also use it for leftovers so the food is cold when going in. It's much better than fighting for the microwave at the office, which works crappy to begin with.

Todo muy bien pero se pega el arroz

The tiffin is good to carry and easy to use.

I enjoy honoring my husband in this way, packing his lunch every day. Sandwiches are amazing but I usually have a breakfast sandwich prepared for him so didn't want to double up with another sandwich for lunch all the time. Not being a morning person, this has been a wonderful way to pack a variety of soups, fried rice, leftovers, and I've even surprised him with a stack of pancakes in the pot, all done the day before. He grabs it in the morning, puts it in his cooler and plugs it in about an hour before lunchtime. He leaves the cord in his cooler which is helpful saving room in the fridge. We purchased an additional one for our newlywed son-in-law and daughter to use. Just a nice alternative to cold lunches, especially on cold winter days. I would have liked to see sturdier clamps, and I don't trust the handle to carry. Didn't go with the Crock-Pot brand because it holds almost 10oz less.

This works and works well. But it does take time. If you’re looking for a quick fix, this is not it. However I plug it in maybe 2 hours before I need to eat (3.5 hours if the food is frozen) and when I tell you scorching hot. If you have time it’s worth it.

We bought this for an elderly friend who is limited in her ability to cook and care for herself. She lives in an older home and is on a fixed income. She loves soups, stews and chili but was afraid to use the her old range. She also doesn't trust or own a microwave so she ended up eating a lot of cold foods :( We gave this to her and she loves it! It's easy to use and makes her so happy to be able to warm up her foods and feels safe using it. Thank you Elite for making a great product, you never know how it'll affect someone's life!
