If you’re anything like my (exceptionally perceptive) 5-year-old, you may notice that food warmed in a microwave tastes different than it would have had it been warmed in an oven or on a stovetop.

Do a little digging on the internet, and you’ll find my child is not alone. The reason has something to do with the way the microwave warms the water content in food and essentially “steams it from the inside out.” Whether you, too, are over the flavor of the microwave or you simply can’t bear to eat another microwaveable meal at work, these mini Crock-Pots are here to save the day.

Mini Crock-Pot Features

  • 20-ounce capacity serves 1 person
  • Tote-like handle for easy carrying
  • Removable, dishwasher-safe food container and lid
  • Travel lid seals food during transport

To use, leave the warming base at work (or school, or wherever you want to warm your food). Bring the dishwasher-safe food container home, and fill it with your favorite leftovers, soup, stew or even oatmeal. Once connected to the base, your food will warm gradually over time.

We recommend buying a couple of food containers to ensure you have one at the ready while the other goes through the dishwasher cycle.



Given my kiddo’s exceptional taste buds, you can bet I’ll be ordering one of these for all our very particular reheating needs at home!
