BLACK+DECKER 7-Quart Slow Cooker, SC2007D, Lid Holder, 3 Heat Settings, Extra Large Handles, Dishwasher Safe, Teal

We had this same basic model for several years, but eventually the crock developed a hairline crack. I was super-pleased to find that Black+Decker was still making this style. This is the right size and has all the heat settings we need. We use it to make dinner a few times a week. It makes meal preparation simple. There are no complicated electronics to fail, just a knob and heating element. Simple is perfect for us. We have been using this new one for a few months and really like the cheerful blue color. The gray crock is easy to clean because you can plainly see where any food is burned on. I hope they continue to make this model for years to come.

as many reviews stated, the temps are a little higher than what you'd expect from most slow cookers. For its first use, to test it out, I cooked an extra large whole chicken on low the whole time and measured the temp every hour or so. It sat right around 210-215, just at the edge of boiling point. But for us, that's perfect, since we've always slow-cooked in the roaster oven or the outdoor smoker at 220-225. The chicken came out perfect and we decided we like this B&D cooker a lot and will keep it. We'll use the higher temp for starting off a roast for a couple of hours then dialing it down to low, but otherwise don't expect to use that setting much. The pot has a nice finish and is easy to clean, and we love the 7qt size - can easily cook 2 chickens at a time, no problem. And we find it to be plenty deep enough, too. Overall, very satisfied. If anything changes, we'll be back here, but in the meantime, no news is good news.

Had the name brand version that never worked right so looked for a heavy crock one with simple control, not digital.This one works great, it heats fast and evenly. Usually will begin to rapid simmer in approximately an hour when 3/4 full. Once it does, I turn to low which maintains a nice low simmer nicely. My pictures show the start and finish of beef stew which was done in 3 hours.A few tech specs;This review is written after over 2 dozen meals of broth, bean and cream soups, pot roast, pork shoulder and stews.The control knob is nice size and shape that feels solid, I am not a fan of the smaller wing shape/size knobs so very happy with this one.Heats to boil usually within an hour, a very cold, almost still frozen 7 pound pork shoulder took 2 hours to get to a simmering point. A full crock of chicken soup took 1-1/2 hours to simmer. My name brand crock pot always took 4-5 hours to finally get to these points.When turned off and left to sit as you would for transporting to a gathering elsewhere, (1-1/4 hour trip in a warm car and left unplugged at destination), it took 3 hours to drop temperature to 143 degrees, just above recommended 140 degree safe temperature for food.When using the warm setting, it keeps it above 160 degrees or so depending on how often the lid is opened and how long it is off but still hot and safe.Yes, the crock is heavy but I feel it is way better to maintain even heat.The crock cleans easily.The lid hanging on handle is a nice feature that keeps it out of the way while adding ingredients or when serving.The design was not important for me but everyone that sees it, really likes it, two family members purchased the same teal wave pattern after seeing it.I see others that received a damaged in the box delivery, I too received the first one damaged due to, in my opinion, a protection oversight in packaging but the second one was undamaged and in perfect condition.I would highly recommend this to anyone! Black and Decker should make other sizes of this model for those of us who don't desire fancy controls and for those who can use smaller models.Great product B&D!

I love it and the color is just what I wanted. When it arrived the box was torn up. Going to use it and see if it is damaged. If so, I will be returning it.Thank you,Diann

A crock pot. Load it up, plug it in, select your setting, and get out of the way. It'll do it's thing, and later you'll be happy. Idiot proof, non-rocket-science. You want bells and whistles? Look elsewhere. You want an attractive, easy to clean crock pot with A knob (as in uno, un, one)? Here you go. Black and Decker?!? Yes, Black + Decker, the dudes who make cordless screwdrivers and drills. If you think they don't know what they're doing sticking their drill bit into the realm of kitchen appliances, think again. Consumer Reports rates this exact model (SC 2007D) tops for "manual slow cookers." Other reasons to buy this one? One, it's inexpensive. Two, B+D actually took a chance and thought about how this piece could stand out from the rest of the pack, and stand out on your counter: great color! Three, did I mention it has A KNOB and gets the job done? One caveat -- it's light, which is good for older folks, wimps, and those not looking for a bicep-bulging workout when setting it up or cleaning it afterwards; however, it's light because it's not built like a tank. I haven't had it long enough to dis the company by saying it's cheap, flimsy, or shoddy. But I can tell it needs to be treated with a little TLC to last.

Here's what I love about this slow cooker, it is pre digital. That means no microprocessor to break, no LED screen to go bad, just the simple slow cooker with three settings and a fantastic ceramic seven quart container. The container is not lined with a ceramic coaching, It is ceramic all the way through which is exactly what you want in a slow cooker.Here's what I don't like about it, there's no light on it, no simple way to know that the cooker is receiving power from the outlet. Apart from that, this is a dream.

Excelente producto. Vale más de lo que cuesta.

This isn't a slow cooker full of bells and whistles, looks nice and does a very good job though.

The Slow Cooker looks great and works fine but the quality of the product was very disappointing. The coating on the ceramic insert had numerous spots where the finish was missed. There was an area along the bottom that look like it was painted and that someone touched the paint when it was wet and left a large mark. Very disappointed in the quality control of this Black and Decker product.

Es muy práctico, solo pones todos los ingredientes del platillo, lo enciendes y listo, en unas horas puedes comer, delicioso porque las proteínas quedan muy blandas y se desbaratan en la boca, ocupas masticar menos inclusive si eres como yo que mastica 100 veces a tes de tragar, te quedas con la sensación de lleno en el estómago pero con ganas de seguir masticando

Excellent product, simple to use, very durable, very pretty colour!! Exactly as advertised!
