I'm a single person. What size is best to warm up an average lunch or dinner? I am weight conscious.

depending on the amount of food, I would use the largest rectangle. For a larger quantity of food I'd use a deeper one.

Medium has a lot of surface area but it is very shallow. It should do fine for a healthy portion (but if you remover the bottom rack it will have more room if need be). I don't know exactly how small a small is but medium works great for my work lunches

Regular is perfect for 2 people, it works great for virtually anything you want to cook. Bigger is always better. Especially better for tall stuff with a foil tent.

I would gauge it as medium to warm. I switch out to a quilt in the late spring to fall. Everyone is different, but I would put myself on the cold when going to sleep, then warm up while sleeping scale..=)

10"Hx12"Wx9" it's a nice size for lunch. You can get alot in it. My husband loves it. There is no zipper to break.

As good or better overall. I have the 14.5, two 18.5s and the 22.5. The 14 is nice for small cooks. I overloaded it once and had to add charcoal. If you stick to smaller cooks, you won't have that problem. I have had no issues with temp control on it. Either using water or without water. Have roasted chickens in the 320-335 range and have smoked fish at 200-225 and also have done ribs and butts in between.

it depends what you cook. For stew, it's too big for a single person even for cooking for 2 meals. But if you use it to cook clear soup, it's the right size for 2 meals.

They are good size. I take them on picnics with my family. I can fit a good size main dish in the large one. I'm guessing 1-1/2 qt to 2 qt. The middle is probably 1 qt and the small is 1/2 qt. I stack them in a roll around thermal cooler vertically and they'll stay hot for hours.

I guess it depends on how much you are cooking at a time. The 1/2 size works fine when cooking for 1 to 4 people.

I would go with the larger one. I got this for my 6' tall boyfriend and he uses it to commute to work. So he has clothes, shoes, and his lunch in there and it's got plenty of room.

I would advise to buy the large. It is so easy to clean, better then having it too small. I have one of each and cook for two.

That's what I like, the best, about them. I get the biggest bang for my buck. They are; inside 4 & 3/4" outside 5 1/4".... I use them to do single servings for portion control, warm it up in the microwave. I just go in & pick out whatever I want for lunch or dinner, my own, lean proportioned, homemade meals..I've lost almost 40 lbs. so far.

I don't have 10oz one. I have 16oz which is just about rt amount food for me as a woman. For men, you might need a bigger one or 2.

Get the 6 quart if you cook for a family. I got the 4 quart and it's just enough for my husband and I with a little left over for lunch the next day.

I put soup in it in the morning, about 8 or so, after putting boiling water like it says andit is warm, not hot, at lunch time, about 12 or 12:30. It's not cold, but not hot, just warm.I like the lunch box and use it all the time!

I am able to cook meals for 2 mostly. I follow recipes and cut the serving sizes in half and I still end up with leftovers. I'd say you can cook meals for up to 4-5 people but its not too big for cooking for one person with leftovers.

definitely no small whole chicken (the 6 or 8 qt would work better), maybe a 1 to 1.5lb roast.the 4 qt sounds big but it's really not, you can only fill it up to 3/4 capacity and then whatever you are cooking needs liquid or it'll burn.it works for me cause I only cook for myself but if you're cooking for a family get a bigger version

Cathy. This would be perfect for the dorm, I take mine to work and plug it in about an hour and a half before lunch, you can actually use if to reheat just about anything to a nice hot temp. Great item and well worth the money, my husband even had to have one for himself.
