Works great for work
It’s small and portable for a single meal. Warms food up gradually. I normally start warming about an hour or so before I want to eat. So convenient that I don’t have to stand in like for the microwave anymore.

If you take leftovers to work, you need this.
Let me start off by saying that I use this with a container that fits perfectly inside. The description for this container on amazon is: Pyrex Storage 6-Cup Rectangular Dish with Dark Blue Plastic Cover. It took me a while to figure out exactly what container to use so I want to save people some time. This container costs $6.55 on amazon at the time of my purchase. Don’t waste your money on the one with the ventilated lid, that’s only useful for microwaving and costs more than double. This oven will not pressurize the inside of your container. Microwaves are horrible about that because they heat the water very aggressively so that some of it is boiling even when your food is cold in the middle.I plug this thing in when I get to work at 8:30am and when I eat lunch sometime after 11:00am the food is perfect. I was concerned at first that this might overcook my food leaving it in there so long but it does not. Today I had leftover steak, It was the ultimate test because it was one of the best I have ever cooked and the microwave I was using before always ruined steak. It was outstanding. You can leave your food in this thing for a long time and it will be fine. If you are a few hours late to lunch no big deal, it will still be better than microwaving. The secret is that it cooks your food in a sealed container with very good temperature control, trapping the moisture and odor inside. Since it cooks gently and from the bottom you do not need to worry about your plastic lid. The lid just doesn’t get that hot.I have access to a microwave at work and I never have to wait for it, that being said, I will never use it again. Frozen meals are excellent in this unit as well, the difference between this and a microwave is even more obvious with frozen food.In case anyone is curious about it, I did some research and found that the power consumption for the HotLogic Mini is 45 watts. That’s 0.375 amps at 120 volts. Taking into account the efficiency loss of using an inverter, you could run 4 of these off of a standard 20 amp 12 Volt socket in a car. I have never tested this but the math works out.Update:It’s been a while and both of my units are still working perfectly. I have been using the one I keep at work every day and I will never go back to microwaving. Since my food is so much better now, I bring my lunch much more consistently and the savings are adding up. When my lunch break starts I get to sit down and start eating right away, It blows my mind that my co workers can see how good this thing is and yet they still use the microwave to destroy their food. I paid $30 each for mine and it’s possible the best money I’ve ever spent.

HAPPY SIXTH ANNIVERSARY! Last purchased May 22, 2018
I decided to write this review because I just took out yet another perfectly heated lunch and realized how much I loved this product and never shared a review. It was sheer coincidence that it’s the sixth anniversary of buying this product.With out a doubt, HotLogic is one of our most RELIABLE and often used products we’ve EVER purchased on Amazon, this little miracle does what it does simply and perfectly, all the time, every time! I almost always bring leftovers with me to work, and the first thing I do when I get to my desk is plug in my HotLogic and zip my plastic lunch container inside. By the time lunch time rolls around I have a perfectly heated meal waiting for me! Yum! I have the mini and fell in love with it so much that I bought my wife the larger one with the included glass container.One thing that bears mentioning that often gets overlooked, is the fact that this works so much better than a microwave! Because this heats with gently from the bottom, your food will heat more evenly and still taste the way you intended it to be; delicious, hot, moist, and uniformly heated. I hated waiting in line at work to share the one messy, smelly microwave, and then have to walk back with my hot food to my office.Also, if you get an inexpensive AC adapter for your vehicle’s lighter port, you can have HotLogic heating your meal as you drive. It’s great for long car trips, camping, or even the drive-in!

First I would like to thank Hot Logic for their item and the tech show that showed off top must have gadgets. This is a great product to own, but most of the reviews do not explain why people should purchase this item. Yes it will reheat food, yes it will heat up frozen dinners, but I know it can do a lot more. This gives you the freedom to come up with your own meal ideas; it allows you to experiment with your meal and makes eating your lunch or dinner enjoyable. While others are eating same old items from the café at work or reheating items in the microwave; I have enjoyed items like a Coney with a side of bake beans, turkey burger, chicken tenders and chicken pot pie (without the crust) over biscuits or a cup of soup with a half a sandwich or a mini meatball sub. If you can think of a meal the Hot Logic will help make it come true. Yes this is a smaller version of a slow cooker, so it will cook some raw foods and we should know it will not brown, grill or toast your items. You will have to adjust your cook time and some of the items you use, but it is the same when you’re trying a new recipe; there will be trial and error and you can always share your dish ideas with other. I have made several items over the months and I have used glass, plastic and silicon containers and they all work and learned to make adjustments so I can enjoy my meal. I have cooked raw turkey and beef burgers and there is a lot of moisture in the container, but I just place the item on small item to raise it up and my food is not lying in the liquid. It is true there is no on/off switch, so I use a power strip with built in surge protector, this makes it easier to adjust my cooking times and prevent any issues with work and me having a hot plate plugged in. To solve the bowl or container from burning me, simple I just keep a pot holder next to it. This item can benefit others in your life; if you help to care for others, it allows you to prepare a meal for them and takes the worry out of them cooking. So if you are looking for an item to make work meals easy and enjoyable or something to heat your meals while your away from home this is a very good item for you.

Has worked awesome, only found that it would dry out bits of cooked rice if they were on the bottom of the container, and has ended up over-cooking vegetables that were already steamed.(2018)UPDATE (2021): all I can say is wow, I’ve left it in the work truck for three solid years, beaten around off all the guys stuff, left there in the winter, tossed around you name it, still works awesome, will even heat from frozen, I made thick homemade burritos and froze them in tin foil, 3 hours they are hot and heated entirely, warming up an average lunch 30-60 min at most, warms up cinnamon rolls in the card board containers from tim hortons in under ten min to taste oven fresh

Before I had purchased this I was eating cold sandwiches, I work in a construction camp. Now that I have this little oven, I can have perfectly heated food! I bought a glassware/with plastic snap on lid that fits it like it was made for it. Now I can enjoy foods like wings, spaghetti and meatballs, 4 small pot pies, 4 big pieces of lasagne, beef stew, and chicken fettuccine alfredo. I even tried throwing in 2 philly cheese steak subs, heated it perfectly, with a little crust on the ends but that’s ok. I am so glad i bought this unit, you will too, buy it now!

I work in construction, not knowing where I’ll be everyday. This has been a game changer for lunches. So many possibilities to bring for lunch now. Have only used it a few times but loving it so far. Hopefully it holds up!
