HOTLOGIC Max XP Large Portable Electric Lunch Box Food Heater - Expandable Food Warmer Tote and Heated Lunchbox for Adults Work/Car/Home - Cook, Reheat, and Keep Your Food Warm 120V, Gray

Worth every penny. Use it regularly and it keeps my meals "pipping hot". Great for potluck and places you cant reheat.

OMG, this is one of those things I didn’t really know was out there in this format at least and also one of those things I didn’t really know I needed ….. I have found this is my alternative crockpot cooker. I can put nearly anything in there rapped properly in foil or container from silicone,paper,glass,aluminum, etc.,and let it cook for an hour or two even frozen dinners and etc.. You just have to gauge it yourself, but it works great and keeps food moist, and warm too hot.

This is an outstanding item for potlucks and tailgates. The top compartment offers a large amount of storage, including room a second dish plus serving utensils. It fits a big foil half-pan (deep 9x13) perfectly. The cord stows nicely in the back slot of the carrier. The hot plate and insulation work exactly as expected. Tip: heat up the hot plate with the cover closed about 20 minutes beforehand. Then when you put the hot casserole into the Hotlogic and zipper it closed again, the hot dish will arrive to your destination nice and hot. I’ve used this preheat trick when the location of my event (a picnic) did not have electricity. This is a definite five star product.

The HOTLOGIC portable warmer does exactly what is supposed to do. I have used this in various ways. The best was traveling from home to stockshow early in the morning. I used this to heat premade breakfast tacos while driving down the road. When we arrived at the show, the tacos were hot and the taste was perfect.

Mine is the HotLogic MAX. The largest I could find. I needed a product for a hot rest/hold of BBQ meats cooked low & slow on my Big Green Egg. Brisket, chuck roast, beef Dino ribs, etc. Secondary use to transport casserole dishes semi hot, not just warm. A hot rest of BBQ needs to be over 145 F but the under 170 F. Yesterday I did a heat test of this product. The heating plate is in the bottom & .75” tall. Covered plate with thin cardboard you see in the pics. Covered that with a hand towel. Placed a calibrated temp probe on the towel. Zipped her up. Kept a temp of 160 F for 12 hours. Perfect! For my primary hot hold purpose I wish it was a bit taller in the warming chamber. Due to hot plate using .75”, you get about 2.5” of height. Could likely squeeze 3” if you must. For casserole transport & heating it’s perfect. Will fit a large casserole dish. Inside about 15” x 10”. 160 F is plenty hot for anything like a casserole without overheating. Or heating it up if you have enough time. Pics attached show overall dimensions. Added benefit of this Gen 2 MAX is the top zips open, folds out and you have a waterproof bag that can hold quite a bit of stuff. (See pics) Obviously you wouldn’t put ice or anything very wet in there, but it’s nice to have the added space. Once folded out there is another carry handle and shoulder strap. Although they are light duty. Nice touch HOTLOGIC! Overall fit & finish is good. The handle outside is fine. The inside compartment handle and shoulder strap seem a little light duty, so I would be careful loading much heavy stuff. I will revise this review to 5 stars if this holds up well after use. If it doesn’t, we’ll the review goes the other way. I am liking this HotLogic MAX.

Used this to transport casseroles for Thanksgiving (using an inverter, purchased separately so that I could plug into the car) and it kept them perfectly hot, on a two hour car ride. Hot enough that they could go straight to the dining table when we arrived. Zippers seem sturdy. It held my Pyrex 9x13 glass casserole w lid easily. Love the extra storage compartment above! I can imagine using this for tailgates as well!

I purchased this product after reading about it in a Celiac Facebook group. My son was diagnosed with celiac in June 2023, and as anyone who has been through such a diagnosis nose, it turns your world upside down. Our family loves to travel, and is active in sports, and I was so stressed about how we would keep him safe during our travels. This product is the answer. We had a 4 Day Rd. trip to Southern Idaho, where most towns had one or two restaurants, and absolutely no gluten-free options that would be safe for my son. I made four dinners in a disposable pan, froze them, and threw them in the cooler at the start of our trip. My hot logic has a wall plug, and I purchased a car adapter to go with it. On day one, we were able to use the car adapter to get the food started while we finished our drive. By the time we got to where we were going, dinner was ready. I love that it has the expansion pack on top, which allowed me to keep plates, napkins, and utensils together in one place. On our trip I made million dollar spaghetti, taco casserole, enchiladas, and a sausage, potato and green bean one pan meal. It was so convenient, that after the trip I bought two more hot Logix in the smaller, individual size. I keep one in the car at all times, and I can’t tell you the number of times it saved us. If you are a family, dealing with food allergies and can’t eat at most normal restaurants, this is something you want to invest in. It is definitely worth the money, both in the money I saved not eating out, but also for the peace of mind of keeping my son healthy.

I baught the lunch tote and was impressed. So, I then purchased the large food warmer. I have used both in many occasions. Great job as a food/lunch warmer, but I have used it for simple cooking. I prepped homemade mac-n-cheese with bread crumb topping. The next day at a family picnic I plugged it in 3 hours before the dinner and it came out perfect. Remember it's a food warmer not an oven. Like a rotisserie, it takes more time to cook thoroughly. I even slow cooked a small rack of ribs for 4 hours and then on the grill(low heat side) for an hour on each side. I enjoyed them very much. Warmed up soups, spaghetti in sauce, potatoes covered in sausage gravy and scrambled eggs, pizza on tinfoil (crunchy crust), homemade Salisbury Steak with fresh broccoli, etc. Works better than expexted, durable and easy to clean. Makes meal time away feel like your still at home. I'm having alot fun experimenting.
