Self Cooking Electric Lunch Box, Portable Food Warmer for On-the-Go,Mini Rice Cooker 2 Layers 800ML Heated Lunch Box for Home Office Cook Food White

Very satisfying with my purchase I received it a few days ago and it’s been nonstop cooking in there. It really works. I have been recommending it to my friends and family. It’s a must try

Convenient

I so look forward to loving this little thing. I just did a test run this morning using only the double-bowl tray, so it wasn’t a large amount of food. I think I let it run about fifteen minutes before checking on it. Wow. That food was hot! It was so hot I had to let it cool a few minutes. But it sure seems like this will be handy for work.I decided on this particular brand/model because:1. The two dishes have plastic covers. I can leave the heating unit at work, pack lunch at home and carry itIn separately from the heating unit. I don’t have to use or wash more dishes than necessary.2. It has the highest wattage of all I looked at. It should heat faster and perhaps last longer than others.I really like that it is a neutral color. It doesn’t look like a child's toy. Since these things are surprisingly small, having a more grown-up look to it is appreciated. The handle is sort of a pleather, meaning it shouldn’t cut into my fingers like a hard plastic might.The locks seems sturdy enough. At least I hope they are sturdy. I’m sure it’ll steam well enough if the latch does break, though.A few things to note:1. The cord is very short. You’ll need to be right by an outlet or extension cord. It also is not polarized.2. The small plastic cup provided for water is inadequate. It holds at most, 50ml of water. In the Q&A sectionhere - but nowhere in the instruction pamphlet - the company spokesperson states 150-200ml(approximately half cup in the U.S.) of water is required. So, just be aware of that. The instructions say itwill shut off if the receptacle runs out of water.3. I wonder if this will develop a mildew issue if inside the unit isn’t dried after each use.I just steamed a couple eggs (in the shells) in this. I cooked one for 10 minutes and another for 15. 10 was too short; I don’t have a proper egg cup, so it was too messy to eat the entire egg. 15 was either a minute too long or too short, depending on how you like your eggs. It was just a smidge away from totally hard cooked. But it was awesome and warm. Totally doable for a warm egg at work.And pro tip, the stem vents from the corner of the lid. I burned myself because I wasn’t paying attention.I’ll update if necessary, but so far, I’m happy with this purchase.

This warmer does a great job of heating leftovers. However it only has 10 minutes or so before the water in the heating pan is gone and it shuts down. This is fine for reheating something but it is not a cooker. It simply does not have enough capacity in the boiling section to cook with. Everything else about it is great. Good design, very portable and light. A good option for a small solar generator greater than 600w. It uses more power to start heating but tapers to 295w.

If you have any kind of liquid at all the plastic lids over the aluminum heating dishes is not secure every single time I’ve taken anything that has any liquid at all, and ends up all in the bottom of my bag, and then I have to dry off the bottom of the lunchbox to be able to plug it in so I’m not impressed with the way the lid Seal. I’ve had it less than two months and it quit working. I’ve tried to get a replacement and cannot get anybody to respond.

I got this for my hubby so he could have hot home cooked meals on the road instead of always having to stop for fast food. He has a power strip in his truck to be able to recharge his power tools on the road so the fact that this doesn’t have a regular car plug is okay in his case.We both like that is used steam heat to warm the food!I put his enchiladas in the bottom part and he did say that his enchiladas collected a lot of water around them getting them kinda soggy, so I would make sure that whatever you put in the bottom it will be okay with extra liquid, like maybe cooking rice in the bottom, or steaming veggies. Anyways, it starts boiling the water instantly! We are very impressed even tho he’s only used it for food once but I tested it without food before I packed it for him.We like that it has two sections so he can have more food with him, but we do wish the food containers were made deeper. I wouldn’t recommend housing soup in it bc the lids are not air tight, and you have to remove those lids and snap the sections back into place before you heat your food.

I have had this lunch box for almost a year now. I didn’t like it at first and it set on the counter for months. Turns out I was trying to cook the wrong kinds of dishes, and didn’t know how to use it. It works great for anything casurol. You can heat breads but you have to wrap tight in foil. I’ve been using it everyday now for about three months and love it.

This is great mini steamer to use for work if you can plug into an outlet. Or for one person meal. I use it alot and wish they sell parts. Like extra containers and lids.
