If I use this at work does the aroma of the food you are warming travel or is it completely sealed during the warming process? Worried about the smell of the food in the office.

There is no aroma at all. And, it only takes about fifteen minutes to go from room-temperature to warm and ready to eat.

I have not noticed any Oder while warming. But if course it smells yummy when I remove the lid.

I have used mine a couple of times inside just to test how much fuel I would need to cook. There is an odor that I would think would become unpleasant without an open window.

It is not the food that smells. The underside of the cooking pan is what is causing the odor. The coating on the underside of the pan is peeling off and this is causing the burning odor. Otherwise; in my opinion, it would be just fine for a break room. We had a similar machine for several years and it worked, wonderfully.

It has some odor, but not overpowering even without ventilation due to the built in filter in the lid. Cooking bacon in my microwave leaves a much stronger lingering odor and for a much longer time. A couple spay's of Smells Begone or another good air freshened will take care of any lingering odor quickly.

I personally didn't have a problem with the smell however it's compressed into a box smaller than its full expanded size so it would be pretty hard to put it back into its original packaging once removed and it is expanded fully. You have to let it expand for a few hours and at that time it didn't smell horrific or anything like that just foam scented.

I found it heats more consistently - i would nuke my food and it seemed hot and steamy, and even with stirring several times, it would end up being cold when i got back to my desk. I also got this because my department moved to a place where it was very inconvenient to get to the microwave so this was handy to be able to heat my lunch at my desk and not have to traipse all over the place to heat my lunch.

It is not airtight. On a hot summer day, the poop "cooks" inside the can. We have ours mounted in open air area. The only time we smell it is when we open the can when it has been very hot outside. Now that the fall is here, we don't notice any problem with odors.

The smell of the coffee is contained within the vessel. When the container is opened, the warm, pleasant odor of fresh coffee fills the room. The mouth begins to salivate and the brain slowly begins its ascent from the depths of sleep. No smells from the outside have penetrated the walls of this cannister. At least none that I've noticed.

Mine was stolen out of my fridge at work, so I didn't get the chance to see if the smell ever went away. I can tell you in the 6 months I owned it, it still had a strong odor. My guess is that best case, it could lessen, but I don't think it will ever completely disappear.

Yes, it was fresh. I'm really sensitive to rancid smells in foods, and this had a really good aroma. There is a use by date on it, and mine had over a year on it. I keep my stuff in the fridge, so mine lasts a bit longer that way. I also take put mine in a glass jar that I use a vacuum sealer on that I got for wide mouth jars; it from food saver. Really keeps things nice and fresh.

Hi there... I would, actually, becuase there was no smell to the rubber gasket at all... not even from the beginning. I wouldn't give up on this either, especially if it's the right size for you as I find it to be a great little slow cooker and use mine weekly!

We don't smell coffee when ours is closed so I would think perhaps it isn't sealing properly and you should contact the seller.

Not sure, my wife has cooked rice the night before and let it warm until the next day and never no smell. But not sure for any amount of time over that.

It's a bit spicy but I love it. For me it's perfect. Others at work say it is too hot but only a few of them. You know spicy hot food is definitely a personal thing for different people. It is not so hot and spicy as to ruin the food. Just makes good flavor in my opinion.

The bottle we got to try has a oily smell but not particularly a fish smell. Mixing it with flavored yogurt is how I use it.Keep it refrigerated, I suspect it could get rancid in heat.

I warm up food all the time at work and I leave the top on. I just un-fasten the snaps to allow air to escape the container. I have not had any issues.

I checked it when I received this email and I don't smell anything and it is in use 24-7 with all sockets being used. It has been in use for a couple of months. We have it in an office that is kept at 68 degrees and air circulation is excellent with overhead fans since we use a lot of electronics in this location.
