But people have found a ‘game-changing’ solution to the problem, and it means you’ll never have to eat cold, sad leftovers in the office ever again.

“This thing has been a saviour for me!” one shopper said. “I work nights so usually don't have access to a hot lunch unless I nuke it in the microwave. Now that I have this lovely little darling, I can have hot meals without the microwave.”
“Best thing I ever bought for work!" another customer raved. "It's now winter and I've been eating soup every week. I was taking my soup in tupperware to work and had to wait for the microwave at lunchtime - not anymore!”
“Now, I pop it in the crockpot, bring it to work, plug it in two hours before lunch, and it's ready and piping hot too! No more waiting! I wish I had found this a long time ago…”

“After years of eating cold leftovers in my car, I finally stumbled upon this beauty," a third review reads. "I almost never have access to [a microwave] to heat up food but this has changed the game. Plug it in an hour before lunch and you’re ready to go. It’s nice in the winter to have a warm meal to sit down with."

According to customer reviews, it doesn't smell when reheating either, so you won’t irritate any colleagues when warming soup at your desk. “It sits unobtrusively on my desk, I put in a can of soup, plug in an hour before lunch and it’s hot and ready to eat,” one five-star review reads. “Doesn’t smell up the office, no one else knows it’s heating.”
