The same 40 oz stainless tray on a 12,000 mAh battery. Set it at breakfast, it heats itself at noon, and there is charge left for a second heat. Still no outlet, still no microwave.

What this box does
You set it hours ahead. Program it at breakfast, it starts on its own mid-morning, and lunch is hot the minute you sit down.
It heats more than once on one charge. A 12,000 mAh battery: lunch at noon, and a second heat later in the day, without going near an outlet in between.
It charges on USB-C, the same port as your phone. Plug it in with your phone at night, it is full by morning.
Five modes and a timer, so a meal from the fridge, one that sat out all morning and one you just want held warm are three settings, not one guess.
Leak-proof, so it travels in a bag on its side without emptying itself.
It charges your phone once lunch is done.
The five modes
Scheduled heating. Set it hours ahead. It starts without you and lunch is hot when you stop.
Heating cold food. Straight from the fridge, no thawing, no waiting.
Heating room temperature food. For what has been sitting in the bag since morning.
Custom heating. You pick the temperature.
Keep warm. It holds the meal until your break actually happens.

What changed since the first one
The tray is the same size, and the controls are the same idea. What changed is the
battery and the clock.
A 12,000 mAh battery. The Daily heats one full meal and then goes back on
the cable. This one has the charge for a second heat the same day.
Hours ahead, not minutes. The Daily’s timer is set within the hour before
you eat. This one you set at breakfast for lunch.
A lid that seals. It rides on its side in a bag without emptying itself.
The modes and the phone charging are not what separates them: The Daily already does
both. If one hot meal a day is what you need, it does exactly that, for $129.

Why we made this
Built for meals far from any kitchen
The break room line, the truck cab with the engine off, the nurse’s
station between calls. That is where lunch actually happens, and it is usually cold.
So we built one thing that needs no kitchen at all.
1-year warrantyIf the box fails in the first year, we replace it
A thermos slows the cold down. This one makes it hot, on your schedule.

Charges your phoneIs there anything left in it once lunch is done?
What people ask before buying.
Does it need an outlet to heat?
No. It runs on its own 12,000 mAh battery, with enough charge for more than one heat. The cable is only for charging, never for heating.
How far ahead can I set it?
Hours ahead. Program it at breakfast, it starts on its own mid-morning, and lunch is hot when you sit down. You can also start it with one press when you want to eat now.
How do I charge it?
On USB-C, the same port and cable as your phone. Plug it in at night and it is full by morning.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
The stainless tray, yes. The heated shell holds the battery and the element, so wipe it with a damp cloth and never submerge it.
How is it different from The Daily?
Same 40 oz tray, same idea. The Ember Pro has a bigger battery, so it heats more than once per charge, and a timer you set hours ahead instead of within the hour. If one hot meal a day is what you need, The Daily does exactly that, for $129.
What if I don’t like it?
30 days to send it back. If the box fails in the first year, we replace it. Free US shipping on every order, no minimum.
When will it arrive?
In stock, and it ships in 2–4 business days.

RayPublic review of The DailyNo microwave at work
★★★★★5 out of 5
“I have issues at work where I’m not allowed to use a microwave, so having a battery powered heat warming food element is just what I need.”
Michelle DPublic review of The DailyHealthcare and public safety
★★★★★5 out of 5
“If you work in healthcare or public safety, a scheduled lunch break is as real as a unicorn. This lets you skip the microwave line entirely and eat a hot meal when your schedule finally clears up.”
Tiffany S.Public review of The DailyFirefighter household
★★★★★5 out of 5
“A life saver for my firefighter husband who eats when he can while on duty. Sometimes he gets calls in the middle of eating and comes back to cold food, but not anymore.”
AmadeoPublic review of The DailyReheat time
★★★★★5 out of 5
“My room temperature meal was ready in 15 to 20 minutes, and a refrigerated dish in 30. Food just tastes better when heated rather than microwaved.”
Brittany K.Public review of The DailyOn the price
★★★★★4 out of 5
“It heats food evenly and does a good job of keeping meals warm without needing a microwave or outlet. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the price point.”
