The Black and Decker - Precision Sous Vide + Temperature Probe 7 Quart Digital Slow Cooker is a very nice size crock pot and works great for our family of 5 with plenty of left overs. This is a stylish crock pot so you can leave out and it will complimemt any kitchen. The locking lid is a nice feature as this prevents any boil over during use and you know the lid is securely in place. The Sous Vide is another wonderful bonus feature and really does add to the multifunctionality of this applicance. I have made a few delisious dinners in this and everything comes out great. It also included a recipe book and a thorough instruction manual if you are unsure how to use the Sous Vide.
