BLACK+DECKER 7-Quart Slow Cooker, SCD4007, Chalkboard Exterior

I don’t see me using the chalk board finish much but it does look nice on outside. I had no trouble with the crockpot heating up or the size or weight of the internal pot. Crockpot does get hot on outside but most do that I have seen. I was definitely interested in the locking lid due to nosey animals if I ever have to leave the house when it’s on and that works great. Controls are very simple which is perfect as I don’t really need a bunch of fancy settings. I would definitely consider buying this for someone for a Christmas gift!

This product is completely useless to anyone who is in the UK – it has an American plug point and as such will not work based on voltage of UK plugs.

I purchased this to replace another black and Decker slow cooker that I had for many many years. It wasn’t easy to find this product in other stores. I was so thankful that I found it on Amazon because I know how well this product works. It is larger than I expected it to be, but that’s not a problem.

was a gift and she has uses it all the time, so easy

J’ai remplacé ma vieille Cockpot qui surchauffait ma nourriture par la Black&Decker. Différence de 7°C… Cette nouvelle me permet plus de respecter les temps indiqués dans les recettes. Ce lave facilement.
Seul hic, fil d’alimentation court.

Update of an update: I reached out to Black & Decker regarding this faulty slow cooker and they replaced it with a newer model. I think they know that there are faulty ones out there so if you get one just reach out to them ands they will make it right. I’m still leaving this model at one star because it clearly has issues and I’m not the only one with those issues.

Update: I purchased this on August 22, 2023. I’ve used it 2-3 times since then. Unfortunately it is no longer cooking like it should and wouldn’t you know it’s past the return window and there is no support from the seller or manufacturer.
I put chicken breasts with broth and turned it on high to get it going then typically turn it down and let simmer until tender. After 8 HOURS on high it would not come to a simmer at all and it didn’t have a lot of broth. The chicken was not cooked tender either. So I put it away and brought it back out this morning to hopefully finish the cooking process and now this morning it’s simmering but barely. I was so hopeful all of these negative comments were flukes and I would get a good one. Well sad to say that’s not what happened so I can not recommend this product at all. Amazon doesn’t give the option to reach out to the seller regarding my issues. There is a link to another site but NO support for slow cookers so what’s the point having the link in there. So now I sit with a moody slow cooker that I can not rely on.

I have been looking for a larger slow cooker for months but most has some concerning reviews like breaking glass lids, melting parts, too hot, not hot enough. I was at my wits end trying to find an affordable one to replace my old one that I gave to my daughter. I was almost regretting that I gave it away.
I wanted at least a 7qt and one day I just decided to get this brand and I’m thankful that I got a good one. I wanted a locking lid for transporting and 7qts is plenty big. I can’t imagine how big an 8 or 10qt size must be! I want to keen on the digital display because they just always seem to fail so I am hoping it holds up.
Right away I washed it and did a crock of chili and it cooked evenly and the temperature seemed accurate. I do like the timer option too to prevent overcooking.
I’m definitely happy with this purchase

As a busy professional constantly trying to balance work and personal life, I found the Black & Decker 7-Quart Digital Slow Cooker to be a real game-changer. Its digital controls are a breeze to operate, making it effortless to set cooking times and heat settings. This means I can easily prepare nutritious meals despite my packed schedule.

What I particularly love is the automatic “Keep Warm” function. It’s a lifesaver when I’m held up at work or stuck in traffic, as it ensures my meal stays hot and ready to serve. It’s this kind of stress-free meal planning that adds flexibility and convenience to my busy days.

The 7-quart capacity is another huge plus for me. It’s perfect for my weekend batch cooking sessions, saving me precious time during the week. Whether it’s a large roast or a whole chicken with vegetables, this slow cooker handles it all with ease. Plus, it’s great for meal prepping – I can cook once and eat multiple times.

One thing I did notice is that the exterior can get quite hot during use. So, I’ve learned to be careful when handling it, especially after long cooking periods.

The unique chalkboard surface, while not a necessity, adds a touch of fun and practicality. I use it to jot down recipes, cooking times, or even reminders for the week.

In terms of value for money, I think this Black & Decker Slow Cooker hits the sweet spot between affordability and functionality. Its convenient features and large capacity make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to simplify their meal prep process.

In summary, as a busy professional, I find this slow cooker an excellent tool that helps me maintain a healthy diet without compromising my schedule.
