Just keeps warm food warm. USB port doesn't provide enough amperage to heat cold food. About 15 minutes before meal is done cooking I plug container into my computer USB port to warm it up. Then when venturing out for a picnic I switch to my Flashlight USB port so I'm mobile. Also comes in handy when ordering food to go while traveling. Keeps my In-N-Out burger and fries warm till I find a rest stop or place to pull off. Runs well off cigarette lighter power port using a $1.97 charger bought at FRYS.

There have been many reviews that I have read from people that I actually know who find this RoadPro

http://www.amazon.com/RoadPro-12-Volt-Portable-Stove-Black/dp/B00030DLEE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424478178&sr=8-1&keywords=road+pro+portable+stove>

portable oven useful for re-heating and even cooking/baking goods on the go.  It does not need a connection to a computer to function - just a regulation 12-volt outlet.

Here is a six-minute video of the heating of a can of soup.

Apparently it took fifty minutes to heat a can of soup - in its own can, with holes poked in the top, presumably with an ice pick.  This time might be shortened by putting the liquid into the oven in a more even layer using a pan liner.  This method of heating canned food does not appeal much to me, but presume it would be useful for a long trip, or to keep take-out food warm, as mentioned earlier.

A better plan for me would be to heat the soup/food before leaving camp and then decanting it into a quality vacuum bottle where it would stay hot/warm/eating temperature for at least five to six hours, thereby allowing for consumption without needing nearly an hour to heat a can of soup.

One of the ladies that has talked about hers has said that she actually bakes cornbread, cookies, and brownies in her RoadPro, but I haven't actually seen this, so can't speak to the quality of the finished product.  The RoadPro purports to heat to 300 degrees, but even brownies are baked at a higher temperature than that, and cornbread is baked at 400-425 degrees.
