WOW!!! All I've got to say is bye bye old & ugly crock pot, and Helllllooooo to my new Black and Decker 7 Quart Digital Slow Cooker. It's DIGITAL, how amazing is that?! It not only looks gorgeous but it cooked my pork roast to perfection! I think the heating distribution is SPOT ON. No complaints from this lady. Thank you Black and Decker for once again, putting out a superior product.
