How to choose
Match capacity to servings

A 7-quart crock suits large batches, and filling between half and three quarters full is the BLACK+DECKER maker's guidance for its crock.
Timers and keep warm
A programmable timer lets you set cook time, and keep warm holds food after cooking ends. The HOMECOOKIN timer runs from 30 minutes to 20 hours and switches to keep warm when it ends. The Crock-Pot pairs its programmable timer with MyTime, which adjusts the cooking cycle to a set finish time.
Probes, lids and cleanup
A temperature probe tracks food temperature, and a locking lid seals the crock. The BLACK+DECKER probe works with its sous vide function, while the Crock-Pot and the BLACK+DECKER have locking lids. For cleanup, the HOMECOOKIN ceramic pot insert can go in the dishwasher.
