HotLogic 個人用ミニポータブルオーブン ミニ パープル 16801060-008

My husband is a long haul truck driver and his new company truck has no room for his microwave. I bought this and it works perfectly. He can heat up all kinds of frozen meals right in the cardboard box they come in or meals that I cook for him that are just in plastic containers. The frozen meals take about 2 hours but he just plugs it in afew hours before he wants to eat and it stays warm if he isn't ready to eat it. Does not overcook things. Its great because you can use any make of container in it, whether its glass or plastic, cardboard or foil. He hasn't cooked anything in it yet that wasn't already cooked except eggs which works really well too. Just beat a couple of eggs and threw some onions and peppers in a plastic container with the lid and left it overnight and he had an omelet ready for him in the morning.

Customer service aas excellent and the product now works as it should with the proper plug. Update: Less than one star if possible. For the price I had expected it to work longer and more consistently. It quit working after less than 12x of use. The light still turns on but the heating plate no longer warms. Very expensive for a completely useless product. There is no plug. It comes with a cigarette lighter adapter, not a standard plug. The pictures are misleading.

I love this thing. As a flight attendant, it comes in very handy. Even if you’re not a flight attendant, I would definitely recommend it whether you’re at work or wherever you need to heat up your food just plug it in and go if you have a plug in your car, you could just plug it in while you’re driving so by the time you get to your destination, your food is hot or warm and then you just sit in the car enjoy it and go handle your Business and pray for children. If you’re on the run, they don’t have to eat hot food and you don’t have to buy out you could just make the food at home, warm it up in the car and feed it to your child.

After 27 years, I've decided to try camping again. I have to gear up, but I'm not ready to spring for a stove. I'm not thrilled with the idea of buying and storing propane. The small tanks most camp stoves use are more than I'm willing to pay for or deal with. Will an electric lunchbox do the trick? I hope so...at least for a weekend excursion now and then. I have two Bluetti EB3A batteries. Each stores 268 watt hours when 100% charged. I have a solar panel, but what if it's cloudy the entire weekend? So I'm trying to figure out if I can comfortably camp an entire weekend on two batteries if I don't charge them. Yes, I could charge them with my car, but I'm there to hike...not drive so I don't drain the car battery while charging the Bluettis. With that in mind, I did a rough test to see what I can do with this electric lunchbox. I thought I'd share my results so others have a general idea of whether this could work for them. Keep in mind that this is a really rough test, and there are so many variables that my results may not match yours if you did something similar. I had 1 cup of homemade stew in an Oxo Good Grips 1.6 cup glass storage container. The stew was about an inch deep and had thawed in the refrigerator overnight. It was fully thawed when I heated it in the lunchbox the next morning. During the test, the lunchbox consistently drew 43 watts from my battery. My battery holds 268 watt hours. At 25 minutes, it had used 11% of my battery, and the stew felt room temperature when I ate a bite. At 35 minutes, it had used 16% of my battery, and the stew felt warm when I ate a bite. At 45 minutes, it had used 20% of my battery, and the stew felt hot when I ate a bite. Not piping hot, have to blow on it hot. Just pleasantly hot. At this point I stopped, because I wouldn't waste my battery making something so hot it had to cool before I could eat it. Note that the lunchbox instructions say that spreading more thinly in a larger container will heat faster, because more of the container will be in contact with the hot plate. My container only took up half the lunchbox. However, I bought a three cup Pyrex rectangular container that would cover the entire heat pad in the lunchbox. So I think if I transfer the stew to that for heating, it will use less battery power. I'm not going to bother with that test for now, as I prefer to leave myself a wide margin of error with my estimation on whether I can camp a full weekend with two batteries without charging. That said, I don't think it will cut power consumption in half, because you have to figure that there is more glass to heat in a larger container. Maybe it will save me a third, however, which is worthwhile if you're faced with a cloudy weekend and no solar charging, so you're trying to conserve energy. If I really like this lunchbox for camping and I start going a lot, I think I'll also look for a metal container. Heck, maybe I'll even do that now. Metal cooking containers are thinner and conduct heat faster, so it should use a lot less energy than the glass containers. That might work better for my purposes. I think if I were driving around all day, though, and powering off of the car, a glass container would be my preference. I like glass for storage, so in that scenario, it would nice to store meal-sized portions in glass and then pop that into the lunchbox. I hope this helps someone! Happy camping. :-)

Got the purple one - i previous owned the green one and the pink one. I believe my green one finally died after MANY years. It would not evenly heat or get as hot as it once did. Time for a new one. i did buy the old green one (years ago) and the pink one in 2019 - they came with a glass pyrex dish and lid, the purple did not. No worries, i knew that. It did not arrive in factory packaging as pink and green ones did years ago. Disappointing. It also did NOT come with the HotLogic recipe book. Again, disappointing. The handle is off center and looks wonky (is it a fake?), not up to previous high standards (disappointing). The zipper is crazy LOUD (the other cases, zippers were quiet) - disappointing, cheaper plastic. Now with my old green one, i could cook a tv dinner in there 4-5 hours and it was great (before it died). 15-20 minutes to heat up pretzilla balls. So the new purple one took 45 minutes to heat the pretzilla balls (disappointing) and i will try a tv dinner tomorrow. If it is still cold after 6 hours, i will return, because it won't heat properly. If it cooks in 4-5 hours, will give 5 stars, over 6 hours and reduce to 1 star and send it back and try a different brand. Wish me good luck!!
