They work best for parties. Easy to transport and easy to get out. You can also put some water in it ahead of time and freeze it. Then it will keep your eggs cool enough to leave out.

We have it mounted over a parking spot to keep the direct sun off the car for the most of the day. It provides ample shade for our needs. It would work over an outside picnic table as well, provided it was positioned for the time of day you were most likely to need it as the shade moves with the sun.

hello, yes this can used for an outside picnic table. some tables have a hole in the to put the stand through. if not, then this can easily be screwed in the ground, off to the side of the table.

It works like a crock pot. It IS a crock pot. It slowly heats your meal, supposing your lunch, so when you prep it in the am, it is ready for lunch. That is all. Doesn't keep anything cold, doesn't promise to keep anything warm while unplugged, and it is meant to be plugged in for use. Hope that clears things up!

You slit the pack open and be sure that some of the contents (gel) touches the soil so it can be released into the soil. I guess if it doesn't fit, you can squeeze some of it directly onto the soil.

If you are traveling anywhere that will be warm, I'm guessing the food will not be very cold by the next day. If you intend to eat most of the food, then it should be okay.

It's a large bag. More for a picnic or road trip. Too big to use as lunch bag only. Hope this helps.

We purchased this for a picnic table, and it works great. You need something to clamp it onto!

I've used mine outdoors on a number of occasions around a table for a picnic on a concrete patio. They worked fine. I would definitely bring them back inside after each use, though.

This unit normally operates using a electric cord at home. If you want to, you can operate it with batteries, like for a picnic outdoors, and it will keep the contents warm.

No, however when using it outside, you can use covered containers or use plastic wrap to cover your items. It is great for picnics and banquet rooms.

It's perfect for outdoor use. We take it to our picnic parties we love it it's loud enough and batteries last long all day and more

I had a salad and a soup at the same time and the salad did not become warm, but it was not cold like itwanted it to be. They were right next to each other. Another time they were separated by a container andit stayed cold. You just have to experiment. It's not perfect, but I'm getting it to better by how I stack thecontainers. The directions are not very good, so I just keep trying different combinations. I like the unit,the size the bag and how easy it is to take my lunch. I have had soup stay warm, just have to get the container hot by putting hot water in it before I put the soup in and having the soup very hot.

Don't know because we haven't used it in months, but I remember it more along the size of a sleeping tent, as opposed to a screen house. I don't think it is long enough for a picnic table & not high enough if the plan is to protect those sitting at the table. Maybe over a patio table. However, it could be used on top of the table to protect food from insects. It would be very big for that, though.

It's fully cooked. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator, then serve as is (picnic-style, or for sandwiches), or heat it in the oven, put it on a platter, and make your table look like it does in the commercials.

Since the SCOBY comes in a liquid they might not let you carry it into the plane. If is a short trip, put it in an insulated lunch box in your luggage. Just an idea.
