Price drop! This top-selling Crock-Pot electric lunch box loved by teachers and truckers is down to $30
Bringing a cold sandwich or soggy salad to work day after day can start to feel a little sad. After all, there's nothing like warming up with a hearty soup or yummy casserole when lunchtime rolls around ā especially when temps are as low as they have been this winter. But we have good news: There's no reason for ho-hum on-the-go meals with the popular Crock-Pot Electric Lunch Box. Snag it for just $30 (down from $45) ā an all-time low price on Amazon!
Just plug this baby in 45 minutes before lunchtime and open it up to reveal a warm, comforting meal.
Why is it a good deal?
Temperatures are still pretty low, and so is the price of this handy gizmo. Right now, you can score it up to 33% off, and it has the respected brand name and thousands of perfect ratings to back it up. (Prices vary depending on color.)
Why do I need this?
Not sure what an electric lunch box is? This simple but brilliant 20-ounce gadget is kind of like a mini slow cooker, but it's designed to warm up your food, not cook it. It's perfect for people who want to better preserve the flavor of their soup or leftovers, or for folks without ready access to a microwave.
Inside the warmer is a metal bowl that holds your food. The lid on the inner bowl (along with the outer lid) minimizes spills and leaks when you're out and about, while the handle makes toting it a snap.
There are no buttons to push ā just a detachable cord that wraps around the base for easy storage. Plug it in about 45 minutes before you're ready to eat and you'll have a hot meal when it's time to break for lunch.
What reviewers say:
This electric lunch box is adored by nearly 5,000 five-star fans, including teachers and truckers.
"I bought this for my significant other because I felt bad packing him sandwiches for lunch daily," shared a thoughtful spouse. "I love that there is an inner lid to prevent leaks. I like that it separates from the heating element so I donāt have to worry about damaging it."
"I purchased this because I do not have access to a microwave or cooking appliance at work," said another rave reviewer. "I use it at least once a week. It works great. I have used it for canned soups, pasta and leftovers."
"I am a teacher with only a 20-minute lunch period, and there are three microwaves in a building for 80 people," wrote a delighted educator. "I absolutely love that I can have hot soup right at my desk. I leave the warming part at work and just bring home the inner bowl and lid to wash every day."
"Most convenient little thing ever!" gushed an excited shopper. "I'm a local truck driver, and I work up to 12 hours in a day. It's nice to put leftovers in this and plug it into my inverter in the truck while I work, and have hot, tasty food by the middle of my shift."
"I am a special education teacher and a 25-minute lunch does not exist for most days, so to have my lunch all heated up when I need it is great," said a final fan. "Works well, food is nice and hot; my only complaint (and it is not a big deal), but the cord is kinda short. Perfect portion control ā if you are tired of waiting by the microwave at work, get this product!" (Psst: Here's a cool flat-plug extension cord if you need one.)
For just a bit more, you can get this nifty lunch companion in green, black or blue.
And here's that extension power strip we've been telling you about.
The 5-foot slim extension cord that's only 0.15 inches thick is perfect for putting under carpets and fitting through door gaps. Or to plug in your Crock-Pot!
"Very high quality and versatile product," said this reviewer. "Compact and easy to pack for trips."
