The Crock-Pot electric lunch box loved by teachers and truckers is down to $29: ‘Most convenient little thing’

There’s nothing wrong with bringing a cold sandwich or soggy salad to work day after day … but we think you deserve better. After all, doesn’t the idea of enjoying a hearty stew or comforting casserole come lunchtime make your tastebuds’ ears perk up? Okay, we might be mixing up our senses, but one thing is clear: There’s no reason for ho-hum on-the-go meals when the No. 1 bestselling Crock-Pot Electric Lunch Box exists, especially when this Amazon deal brings the price down to just $29 (from $45). Soup’s on!

Just plug this baby in 45 minutes before lunchtime and open it up to reveal a warm, comforting meal.

This is one of the best prices we’ve seen this gizmo on sale for (it’s often in the $30-$37 range), and it has the respected Crock-Pot brand name and thousands of perfect ratings to back it up. Just note that prices vary depending on color, and you’ll save the most on the pretty pink version.

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 — 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.

Got a teacher, contractor or any kind of shift worker in your life? This Crock-Pot lunch box will make them very, very happy. (Amazon)

This electric lunch box is adored by over 5,500 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 don’t have to worry about damaging it.”

“I am a teacher with only a 20-minute lunch period, and there are three microwaves in a building for 80 people,” wrote an impressed 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.”

Several users had the same note as this generally satisfied reviewer, who wrote, “[It’s] a little difficult to get the top off, so if you have dexterity issues it might not be the best for you.” (According to another buyer, it’s because “the seal works a little too well.”)

“My only complaint (and it is not a big deal), but the cord is kinda short,” wrote a final fan. They added, “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. Works well, food is nice and hot … Perfect portion control — if you are tired of waiting by the microwave at work, get this product!” (Psst: Keep scrolling for a simple solution to the cord issue.)
