Review of an Electric Lunch Box

29 reviews between Dec 23, 2022 and Jul 03, 2023.

This electric lunch box is great for heating up food at the office. It is easy to use and heats food quickly. The compartments could be larger and the plastic tops could snap on better, but overall it is a practical and excellent lunch kit.

  • 4.0 out of 5 stars The little electric lunch box that could - heat up and cook

     As I work a hybrid schedule -at least once a week I have to go to the office and work at home the other days, I was looking for something to heat my food for lunch. My office space does not have a microwave - so it’s either order/take out or sandwiches whenever I have to go to the office. This is the 2nd electrical lunch box I purchased - the first one was from a different company and different model. I ultimately returned that first one since it didn’t work upon my first use.
    I ordered this one and tested it at home first (to make sure it worked before taking it to the office). I heated up leftovers (rice and ground turkey) and opted to test out the top tier and placed a raw egg which boiled to perfection.
    I’ve used it in my office space at work twice - once for leftover chicken parm and the 2nd to heat up rice, pork tenderloin, and green beans.
    It has worked magnificently!!
    My food is piping hot (just the way I like it).
    It takes approximately 30 mins to fully heat up — I add the water to the level indicated on the heating element portion and set it.. each time it’s been 30 mins for it to shut off (which is when the water runs out) and the food has been HOT!!
    The containers are deceptive looking - I surely thought it would not enough food for me. But it fits the amount I generally eat. I use the top tier containers for snacks like fruits.
    As my office space has refrigerators I simply place my containers in the fridge once I get to the office and remove when I’m ready to eat/heat up my food.
    It’s relatively quiet and while it does produce water from the steam being released it’s not a huge mess - I simply put a few napkins on the side the steaming hole is located and whatever water falls is collected and easy clean up.

    I dropped it a star from 5 to 4 for simple and perhaps trivial reasons for some:
    1- no carrying bag which would be useful and beneficial to carry the cord and your utensils/silverware. And if you need to or want to carry an additional container (outside the lunchbox) for extra snacks or food that doesn’t need to be heated - the carrying bag would be of great use!
    I simply use a small gift bag and place my cord and utensils in it.

    2- if you want to use this to heat up food as you drive (some people are on the move or only have their cars/trucks as options to heat up the food) then look for another option unless you have a converter of some sort in your vehicle. It doesn’t apply to me but I can see how others dependent on a vehicle for the purpose to plug in and heat up the food would be a major drawback.
    Overall I’m quite happy with my purchase and love I can enjoy my leftovers and not have to spend $20- $30 each time I need to eat lunch when I’m at the office.

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for cooking for one. I’m very pleased!

    I just received my lunchbox today and I was excited to try the rice cooking features. I ended up spending half the day experimenting with different recipes that included noodles, rice, steamed vegetables and even a chicken teriyaki from a state of raw. So far everything I tried came out perfectly. The steamed vegetables were perfectly done without being soggy, the noodles cooked just right and so did the rice. The only down side I experienced was a little chip in the plastic lid of the container when I received it but it wasn't bad enough to send it back. I am looking forward to trying more recipes and I can see myself using this at school where I teach. A freshly cooked lunch is a good thing when there is not a lot of time. Even cooking from raw didn’t take more than 25 min as long as the meat was sliced. The basmati rice cooked in the same amount of time and came out lovely! If I were just reheating, it would take even less time. I am a very happy customer. Since I cook for one at home, I can see myself using this daily so I don’t make too much food. It is perfectly portioned for one! I hope they can send out another lid though. I will ask.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Does an amazing job for being so compact and portable!

      Just received this today and tested heating up some leftovers as well as steam an egg and broccoli. My goal was 1) to see how hot it got and how quickly, and 2) try to see if it can do both - heat up food as well as cook. Within a couple minutes ayfter adding 2 of the little cups of water and food stacked double decker onto the unit, it heated up quickly and i could see the hot steam coming out of the 2 small vent holes on top. I waited 10 minutes to make sure the foods were heated through and the broccoli was cooked enough.
      I am quite impressed. The curry porridge on the bottom tray heated up nicely, while my broccoli and poached eggs places on top of the 2-compartment tray. The instructions say it would take 20 minutes to heat through. From my experience today it only took 5 minutes. I made sure to thaw the broccoli first, but the gyoza i only left out for a few minutes.
      This week i'm going to try stirfrying some shrimp and make pepper chicken to see if it can stir fry.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars It gets the job done!

      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.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars It really works!!

      I didnt want a food warmer, as I don't like leftovers. Was skeptical, but purchased anyways. I am soo glad I did!! Cooked rice, and ground beef patty and veggies perfectly! Pre seasoned ground beef, placed raw gb in top corner, frozen veggies in other top corner. Put uncooked jasmine rice and water in bottom container and cooked for 40 minutes. Let sit until I was ready to eat, bout 10 minutes. And amazing!!! I have purchased for my brother, father and nieces!! Can make a healthy 1 serving meal, quick and easily!!

    • 4.0 out of 5 stars It’s convenient

      Had it for about 2 month now. So far so good! Haven’t tried to make rice with it yet. But it gets pretty hot to warm up both levels. The only issue would be the bottom level with the heating element, you can’t wash it so only wiping.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars I love this thing!

      I use it for work everyday. The divider does really well at keeping my main entre and side dish separate. I store it in the fridge, and the insulated bag keeps the food cold until I'm ready to heat. I usually plug it in 45 mins before lunch and my food is always steaming hot. I add maybe a tablespoon of water to rice dishes before heating to keep it from drying out and sticking to the bottom.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars Great, so far, heats soup quickly; skimpy on how-tos.

      Super easy to use for soup, although I probably put more in the tray than is optimal. It didn't overflow into the water reservoir, though, so I'm happy about that. It was HOT in about 20 minutes, although you can't see it steaming.

      I know that's a while for soup from a can, but I can have this at my desk, and I can't have a microwave at my desk. I don't have enough room. Also, I like the taste of reheated food better when it's not reheated in a microwave; particularly when reheating chicken of any flavor.

      The only thing that's a little disappointing are the instructions; there aren't any, really, beyond 'don't pour too much water into the water reservoir because it will leak into your surface', and the safety warnings like 'don't put one's hand over the stream hole' and 'don't open the lid too quickly or one may scald oneself'.

      Oh, and there are very basic directions for making steamed rice.

      I would like to see things like 'soup, from a can, usually takes ______ minutes to be cooked thoroughly', or 'each extra layer of pans used, after the first one, increases reheating time by ____ minutes per additional ounce of food'. Or even instructions about whether or not the lids for the pans are supposed to be on when cooking food, or not, because that's not mentioned anywhere and could make a big difference in cooking time and I'm the texture of the reheated food. I noticed there was some water on top of my soup, and I think that was from the stream condensing during the heating process. If I knew it was safe to reheat my soup with the lid tray lid on, the extra water wouldn't have been in my soup.

      Otherwise I'm very excited to use this at the office on cold days so I don't have to eat spaghetti, stroganoff, or other leftovers cold.

      Oh, and a suggestion: you may wish to use distilled water in the stream reservoir to minimize scale.

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS

      It’s legit! Put cold food in and it will be PIPING hot in about 15-20. I set it up early and finish my work leading up to lunch.
      I haven’t tried cooking in it but other reviews say it’s good for that too.

      It’s a little small for the usual amount I eat but that probably just means my portion sizing it too big 🌚

    • 5.0 out of 5 stars So worth it!

      I absolutely love this lunch box.

      My mom bought it for me because I travel so much. I'm currently overseas in the netherlands and they don't have a microwave in their hotel rooms (odd for us Americans). This lunch box I'd an absolute life saver. I cook egg whites or oatmeal in the morning. (Takes about 7 minutes)

      I make rice and "steamed" veggies almost daily for dinner.

      I've heated up chicken marsala.

      It doesn't dry out the food and it gets hot in just a few minutes.

      Absolutely love this product.

      Its also so cute!
