AottoPortable Oven Electric Lunch Box Food Heater - 80W Heated Lunch Box Food Warmer for Adults, Work, Travel, Home Kitchen - Cook, Reheat, and Keep Warm (Black) 110V/120V

This little jewel can warm up a sandwich, egg biscuit, hamburger etc in about 20 minutes. There’s no on/off control or temperature control. You just plug it in and it starts warming. There’s a little opening in the back panel where the cord fits through. It melts the cheese on your sandwich and warms the food to a nice temperature. The warming plate sits in the bottom of the lunch box and you place your food on it (been wrapping sandwiches in foil) zip it up and plug it in. Great value for the money. I don’t think it’s designed to cook raw foods although other reviewers say they did. But I highly recommend it as a food warmer. It’s the size of a normal lunch box. So glad I made this purchase. Just remember to unplug it before removing your food (so you don’t forget).

My husband is a residential painter and dry wall finisher. We bought one of these a year ago to save money on lunches for him, by taking left overs from supper, instead of eating out. His warmer has been great!! It’s still going strong after all this time. No issues all! We even bought more for our sons that work with him and now for myself as well. 30-45 minutes and your food will be pipping hot! Highly recommend this warmer!

And I bought it just about three years ago and used it virtually daily. I use it for heating prepared, refrigerated “meal plan” meals because cooking for one person is a bore. I’ve used it with Freshly, Top Chef, CookUnity and Factor meals and it’s worked perfectly for them all including CookUnity which uses compressed paper rather than plastic trays. I can put a refrigerated meal in this, it’s a perfect dinner temperature in 1.5-2.0 hours but does not overheat or overcook because once it hits 158 (safe holding temperature)it maintains your food at that temperature, nothing is ever dry and protein doesn’t turn to rubber. I’ve never had a tray melt but these prepared meal trays are oven safe; I do leave the plastic film in place. No microwave inconsistencies, no heating up the oven and completely set and forget. For the record, and the people who don’t understand how this works: the plate does heat up fast but it does not keep getting hotter, it stabilizes then holds your food at 158F. The time it takes to heat your food depends on whether you start with room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen food but in a standard tray, shallow container, or plate two hours should do it.

I loved I could put my lunch container, this was a small glass one with homemade manicotti in it. It was still partly frozen when I turned on the heating unit a little over an hour before I needed to eat. At lunch time Viola!! it was prefect eating temp. My only concern at this time is the zipper keeps folding over and have difficulty easily zipping up to close for heating.

Excellent

I use sturdy food grade silicone food storage containers to heat all my food in. This is very lightweight and works amazingly well. I set this up a couple of hours before I eat lunch and my lunch is heated perfectly. The food temperature is even throughout. I heat my lunch up for approximately 2 hours (sometimes it goes over due to how busy I am) and have heated up both frozen home cooked meals and refrigerated home cooked meals. I have heated up a pre-packaged Omaha Apple Tartelette and it was heated perfectly in an hour and a half.I cannot say enough about how much I love this little box. I never use a microwave oven and it is time consuming for me to heat my food in our work oven or the stovetop. Not only that but it is so much easier to wash one silicone dish (I eat straight out of that) instead of a pan, a spatula and a plate.

I bought this for my mother. She works at an industrial facility and getting to the microwave at lunchtime can be a chore. She wanted some way to warm up her food before lunch so she could eat as soon as the bell I used to be a line worker myself so I know that feeling. This product Works great for her. She plugs it in. She warms her food. It’s not too hot. It’s not too cold and she can sit down and eat while everyone else is still trying to figure out how many minutes they should put their item on in a microwave. She’s used it with plastic containers and glass containers . It doesn’t burn it doesn’t scorch to plug-in and easy to operate. I give it five stars.

It works great. Heats food fast even from frozen. The box itself is not rigid and crushes down. This is why I gave it a 3.
