I was excited to try my Black and Decker 7 Quart Digital Slow Cooker, I have a large family, so this was perfect for a family get together.The digital timer on it was easy to use, just set your time and go about your day while your meal cooks. The feature of automatically switching to warm when your meal is done, is a added bonus.The slow cooker cooks evenly and at the proper temperature, love the large knob handle on the lid and the side handles were sturdy. the built in lid holder kept the lid in place when we traveled, plus the rubber gasket stayed sealed and kept our meal hot. It really is a mess free transport. I absolutely love this slow cooker, I will be recommending it to family and friends, Great product.
