I recently tried the Black and Decker 7-Quart Digital Slow Cooker and I absolutely LOVE it! It is so easy to use and with the locking lid I have no worries about being spilled. It is so simple to use just turn it on set to warm, low or high and how long you want your food to cook and your done. And I love that I can set it and go on about my day and not worry about it. Even if I get home late it turns its self on low for 30 minutes so no worries of over cooking. With the locking lid it is great for potlucks because once the lid is locked it seals nice and tight so you can take it anywhere.
