yeah it works, it makes food really hot, but it has to be plugged in though and the cord is pretty short.

It plugs into the pad at the top on both sides. Each side is independently heated. This is a great pad. I have another pad on top of mine because I don't like feeling the heating ribs. It works just fine either way. Hope you enjoy yours as we have enjoyed ours.

When the cooker is plugged into the outlet, the cooker is in the warm/heat mnode. There is one button that is depressed to change from warm to cook. i haven't had a power outrage while cooking, so i can't answer the question and my cooker is in storage so i can't do a test. my guess would be that it would go to the warm position, so that you would have to press the button again,.

It has not been a problem with my husband's devise. He typically carries a covered container of leftovers in his & keeps it plugged in until ready for lunch. It's ready when he is. He's a contractor on various jobsites & no one has complained. It's been an awesome way to save $ & keep him away from fast food lunches!

No. It plugs in. But I don't recommend this warmer. I had 2 and they both broke.

No, it only warms food when it's plugged in and the metal liner gets hot so it would be unsafe to give it to an elementary school child.

Warm food as in commercially?... Not that this could not work, but I would expect there to be something more on the commercial side of the business that would be used. And the lamp would have to be placed fairly close to the food (guessing 12-24") and it would just keep the cooked food warm, it would not warm it from refrigerator temperatures.

Of course it has a plug and if the park has an outlet then yes it will keep a small amount of food warm. It is only 16 ozs(2cups) capacity.

It is very simplistic, not having a temp control. You plug it in. The longer it is plugged in, the hotter it gets - up to a limit naturally. We just guess - been plugged in for 5 minutes, I suppose it is warm enough to begin frying. Would not attempt anything requiring exact temperature and timing. Good for more simple fare like hamburgers, grilled cheese, etc.

I used mine several times to heat up Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls. I would place the retail box in the Mini at bed time, plug it in and enjoy the breakfast in the morning. Worked great, so I figured I could make my own breakfast as well using three wisked eggs, some diced onions green peppers and a little sausage. I use a pyrex container with lid and place the mixture in the Mini before I go to bed, plug it in, and in the morinig I have a great hot breakfast.

I no longer have this model, but I believe you flip over the plug that attaches to the unit itself... there should be a red arrow for warming and a blue one for cooling.

There is no indication on my microwave for this feature. I have never heard of this feature.

after you plug it in, hit on....then select what you are cooking, then hit ok....put food in....if you open it or turn it off after you start cooking it defaults to manual until it cools

I cannot get mine to get passed a very little warm sensation and it is a useless rip off if you ask me! I have never been so disappointed with an item as I have this one. I think that this should be taken off Amazon all together! Sorry I cannot help with your question and sorry you have been ripped off too!

You just plug in and hold thumb on it. My husband is a Disabled Vet and they use these. The VA sends one of these to him every so many yrs when he needs a new one. It is best heating blanket out there. Might be a little expensive but I bought 3 so I would have extra on hand. Gave one to our son who works out a lot. They have safety feature where you must hold to get hot bc of diabetics and other disorders so you do not get burnt. Believe me it does get hot. Never put under your leg or body part and fall asleep. It will burn you and blister. I know first hand...it happened to me. Amazing how moist it gets without doing anything You just plug in and hold thumb on it.

I'm not sure, but it works perfectly when plug to the car. It takes probably 20 minutes to heat up the food.

Yes, it get's plenty warm. In a rush I've given dip a jump start in the microwave- love that you can take the crock out to do that if needed.
