There are a few expected and wonderful features on the Black and Decker 7-Quart Digital Slow Cooker and some very surprising and genius features. Take the power outage feature, for example. It makes so much sense to have your slow cooker remember where it left off if the power goes out, but I've never seen it until now. Absolutely genius way to preserve the dinner that it took time to buy for and plan. This makes everything I've tried in it a breeze, and has the right amount of heat settings for all my recipes. The removable pot portion makes clean up easy and the locking lid was perfect for taking my signature dishes to dinner at friends' houses. Overall, my favorite slow cooker to date!
