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

The best slow cooker I've ever had, and I've had many different brands and features.. . This is a simple, manual machine that cooks perfectly every.single.time. I bought this slow cooker one year ago and had to come back to review it as its just been so great! My favorite thing about it is that it keeps food warm at the PERFECT temperature ALL DAY where my other crock pots got way too hot on the warm setting or didn't keep food at a safe temperature on warm. It heats up to high setting fast too. This thing has been used AT LEAST 50 times over this past year and I cannot complain about one thing. Honestly it's just been the best slow cooker, hasnt had a simgle problem and its a gorgeous color as well. If you're looking for a slow cooker without the bells and whistles that cooks perfectly, THIS is the one!

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.

30+ years ago I was gifted a small slow cooker. Initially I wasn't quite sold on the idea as the whole slow cooking concept was foreign to me. After a while I realized that the gadget actually has potential. Since my original machine decided to fall apart a month ago, I figured it was time to get a new one. Amazon Warehouse to the rescue! This B&D slow cooker caught my eye with its turquoise color and retro-look stripe design. I have no idea of the size of my original cooker but it was small and something a tad larger would be fine. I didn't really visualize how large 7 quarts would be so when my purchase arrived, I was floored. My old one must have been about 2 quarts. Anyway, there is plenty of room for just about anything you would desire to prepare. The buttons are easy: OFF, low, high and warm. I didn't need any timers or other fancy features. The electric cord is rather short; another 10 inches in length would be nice but I can manage. These newer slow cookers are nice in that the inner ceramic bowl comes off and makes cleanup easy (my old one didn't have that so one had to wash it carefully so as not to get water in wrong places). However, I can tell you that a 7-quart bowl weighs quite a bit so be careful when handling it. The weight is probably the only minus I can think of. I will probably get some liners for this slow cooker so that I could prepare two separate dishes at the same time.

This was perfect for a household given our decorations we are going with and with all of our other pans and pots. Our old one broke in the sink that was just a regular one, so when I saw this I knew I had to get it and it works great and it's even a bit lighter so easier to lift for any one of my household who uses it. And it cooks really well, and I can go ahead and throw in a recipe really quick: .5 cup olive oil 2 tblsp of salt and pepper Squirt of lemon Pour a lil red or white wine Either whole chicken fresh or frozen (frozen will take longer) or leg quarters Spritz some paprika, salt and pepper on chicken surface Small whole scallion onion and leafs cut in half to soak the oil 1 cup of water Half stick of butter Cook fresh on High for 1 hour or 2.5 hpurs frozen Add after first cooking ladel some of the cooking oil/water in a bowl Add as much yellow potatoes cut or diced, diced mushroom, halved cherry tomatoes Add the ladelled oil/water from before by pouring over chicken and veggies Sprinkle a lil more salt if you like over the veggies, not the chicken Cook for extra hour or so fresh or another 2 hours if it started frozen Chicken is done when you try and pick it up from cooker and it falls apart! Serve chicken with white rice with a spponful of oil poured over rice with helping of the veggies! Enjoy!

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.

Product was great. Did smell a little bit of plastic burning when I first used it, but it went away and I double checked to make sure I have everything off of it but cook the food just as it should and it didn't taste bad or anything.

My old one finally bit the dust and I went straight to Amazon; because I use mine so much I did know I had to like its looks. Saw this, my fav color……..priced far below the others. I’ve never had one with fancy timers or start prompts, this one is just the standard warm, low and high. Fine with me, it’s what I’m used to. Works just like my old one, pretty color to see on the counter 3 days a week…….win win!!

I don't understand the negative reviews and the so called "Melting handles" because I've used my slow cooker about 12 times so far and most were on High for 4 to 6 hours. The first time I used this I cooked a beef roast and it turned out beautifully, tender and delicious. The Handles after 4 hours on High were barely warm!! I love the way this cooks and cleanup is very easy. The lid fits in the side handle which is genius so you have somewhere to put the lid while stirring, etc. I highly recommend this Slow Cooker and have used it more than a dozen times with NO issues with the handles and my food turned out beatiful and cooked perfectly. Also, it's just pretty and I love the colors. I would buy this again and recommend it to anyone as it makes cooking so easy. I bought this Slow Cooker myself and it was NOT a gift, so my review is unbiased and my own opinion. Thanks (My pics are to show my handles are NOT melted, the nice "Lid Holder" feature and my Roast Cooking on High after 3 hours to show Nothing on the Slow Cooker Melted) Happy Cooking!

El color es hermoso!!! Es amplia y su cacerola donde se pone la comida es de cerámica

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.

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

Mejor que toda expectativa.

Excelente producto, tiene muy buena calidad y funciona muy bien.
