FORABEST Portable Microwave Food Warmer - Electric Lunch Box 80W with Insulated Bag and Utensils - 12V 24V

Great for heating up food on the go! My husband drives a semi OTR and uses this daily, sometimes more. Most of the meals I prep for him (in a 7x5 aluminum pan), are warmed up in 25-45 minutes. It is very easy to use and keep clean. We've never had any leak issues, as the food is kept in the pans that I prep his meals in. Very good value for the money as it saves A LOT not having to buy food from truck stops. Read more

This is a dandy product. I’ve been staying in hotel rooms that have like no way to have a warm meal. I don’t cook the microwave cause we microwave don’t cook. They just warm so I don’t even use that for warming up coffee kind of a waste of space and ugly anyway this item is clever there are several out there, but this one’s very nice With a heated coil. In grocery stores like Whole Foods they sell those fresh premade dinners in the deli section maybe some steak and nice piece of steak and some mashed potatoes and some green beans like a meal nice meal. It comes in a metal dish like maybe aluminum aluminum plastic pop on lid and that little dish fits perfect in this thing so I really just set that inside I think I did that a convenient way to warm up lunch dinner or wherever piece of steak inside or fish and some green beans and some mashed potatoes are fresh right now that deli and that little container that they come in fits perfect in this Warming box I will oven he said to use and I have to use wipe out that pan Read more

I can't rave about this enough. It works best if you cook with aluminum foil or a heatproof pan/dish like stoneware. This *individually* warmed chicken wings in 30 mins, reheated French fries and even orange chciken to be decently crunchy (this took a light rag on top of the dish to catch any condensation) and 6 pieces of pizza within 20 mins. DEFINITELY recommend. It's perfect for road trips, camping/glamping, a daily lunchbox and especially I recommend this to truck drivers. You'll never have to eat gas station food again, that home cooked meal will reheat PERFECTLY in a Pyrex Tupperware trust me! Read more

tl;dr: This product makes food too hot for safety, both in handling the container (especially Pyrex) and in eating the food itself. The food boils and starts to burn after an hour in this product. Returning it. I've got two HLM products (a competitor you will find in Amazon searches). I love them and have been taking them on trips for the past ten years. But it's a real bummer that they are only 120v AC OR 12v DC, not switchable by changing the cord. The cord for the HLM is also sort of short, a safety feature that is sort of annoying. So I bought this product. The changeable cords seemed like a great idea, just choose one depending on where you are (and store the other one in the handy pocket on top, with the set of actual stainless silverware that they thoughtfully include). However, the cords themselves seem really flimsy. And the connectors on the heating element do not seem like they are going to be durable; the attachment points to the heater seem lightweight. The power cords are longer, but guess what? I actually tripped over the cord once already. You can see in my first two photos the connector for this lunch heater and the connector and bottom of my ten-year old HLM heater element. I doubt the cords and connector for this product will last ten years! None of these things are deal-breakers. I'm a grown-up and I'm capable of being careful with delicate items. But in use, this little oven convinced me to return it. WHY? It gets the food TOO HOT. I have used it four times in the past three days, twice with cooked chicken and sauce over rice in a glass container with a plastic lid, once with homemade gluten-free lasagna in a sturdy plastic container, and once with cooked rice, canned chili, and shredded cheese in a glass container. Each time, the container got INSANELY hot. I'm talking burn-your-fingers hot, so if you reach in there and grab your container without thinking about it. you are going to burn yourself. I started the lasagna and one of the chicken meals from frozen. The liquid in both containers was visibly boiling after an hour, and a thermometer put into the lasagna read 198.1F (photo 3), which is way too hot to eat! (I can hear you now, "WAIT, boiling is 212F!" I live at 9000 ft in Colorado, and our boiling temperature is actually 192F because of the lower air pressure). Food safety rules for hot holding temperature, such as on a buffet, call for 140-165F (40-140F is the food holding "danger zone" where bacteria grows very quickly). Most people can eat hot food at 165-170F and will instinctively blow on it at 180F; hot food at 190F will burn your tongue and mouth in a very unpleasant way. So this little oven getting food to very nearly 200F in an hour, an amount of time most people might use the product, is dangerous. Though you will pay attention and be cautious after your burn your fingers and hand removing your container from the oven (!!), if you are brave and open the container to immediately eat the food, you will probably get a steam burn as you open it, and if you're then persistent enough to eat the food right away, you will burn your mouth, and that's terrible. What's the point of a product to heat food that makes it too hot to eat? In the interests of fairness, I took another serving of the frozen homemade gluten-free lasagna (gosh, it's good!) and put it in the HLM. After an hour, the container was quite warm but could be handled safely without potholders. The food inside the container was 178F at the edges and 173F in the center, a safe temperature for consumption. One more thing. The HLM gets food to a reasonable temperature and keeps it there for hours. Many times, I've put lunch in it at 11 am, forgotten about it until 5 pm or even later, and then felt pleased that I'd made myself a fantastic, ready to eat dinner; the food was still perfect and moist. This lunch heater, after 90 minutes, had boiled a lot of the liquid out of the container (the heater was making little steamy hissing noises, which made me check it!) and the food was burning around the edges. If I'd forgotten that lasagna for six hours, I think it would have been inedible and the container's plastic lid might have been damaged. This also seems like a safety issue to me if it overheats and then damages a flimsier container than a Pyrex food storage box. I am returning this product. I don't think it's safe. Read more

I actually bought this lunch bag for my husband who is a truck driver. He loves it and is able to have a hot meal daily. We use glass bowls with a sleeve around it. No issues. He starts heating his meal about 20-30 minutes prior to his break. I post pictures when I have time. Read more
