Ok, Ok, I know it's hard to bring a lunch to work. Believe me, I've tried to be good about it before. Once I realized how much I spent eating out everyday, I really did want to reign that in by brown bagging it. I count my lucky stars every day that I now work at a place that provides a family meal everyday.
For everyone who is not so fortunate, here's a new invention for you. It's the EnPieza Combo, a combination food carrier and heater. It carries the food in an insulated pocket, and once you plug it in it heats your food quickly. Just load it with leftovers and have a cheap, hot meal for lunch the next day.
I couldn't find out how much this thing is, and I'm not even sure it's for sale yet. But it would be a handy thing to have if it ever does get to the market.

Our office *does* have a full kitchen but I rarely ever use more then the microwave... or perhaps the toaster oven.

It could also be used for keeping something warm on a buffet table, like spinach artichoke dip, but a mini-crockpot can do that, too, plus has other uses.
OTOH, I like the styling.

My school's dorms have full kitchens and a dining hall, but they're a good 20 minute walk away from the rest of the campus and the majority of the offerings on the main part of campus are rather unhealthy and it'd be nice to have something less greasy or deep-fried (although I do love my Panda Express). If I had one of these babies, I'd be able to just fill it up with something that is yummy and healthy and then plug it into an electrical outlet (which are everywhere thanks to laptop demands) when I want to eat.

There's never a line for toasting my bagel in the morning, mostly cause no one's around yet...

Some people live different lifestyles that inhibits the kind of portable food available on a regular basis.
And back when my office didn't have a microwave, this lil gizmo would have been perfect. The idea that it'd be great for students is dead-on too. Sometimes the line-ups at microwavers is just too much when you've only got so much time.
