Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First of all, most of the negative reviews I've seen don't seem to understand what this product is for- This is not a thermos. You don't heat the soup and then put it in your bag and take it somewhere to eat hours later- it's a microwave safe mug with a cover. The handle keeps you from touching the sides of a hot bowl and the cover helps keep splatter off your microwave and reduces cooking time. If you need to walk somewhere after microwaving, like carrying soup back to your desk at work or something, the cover will help keep it from spilling. The little steam vent piece needs to be taken off before microwaving. This holds large cans of soup like Campbell's Chunky with ease. The plastic is easy to clean and BPA free, which I think is what we are supposed to use this week. The lid is not watertight enough to put soup in this and then not carry it upright, but like I said, it's not a thermos so doing so would not make sense. I keep this at work with poptop soup cans in my desk so I will always have something for lunch.
