THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

SC-136BK is a documented 3.5-qt Brentwood Select cooker in the black Diamond Pattern finish. Its manual heat settings and ceramic pot are clear; a timer and exact Amazon offer are not.

Consider it for

Buyers who want a patterned 3.5-qt cooker with manual heat settings and a known model-specific finish..

Look elsewhere if

Not for buyers who need a timed program, a larger family-size crock, or a direct link to a verified current Amazon variant.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The official page names the exact black SC-136BK code and 3.5-qt capacity.
  • The maker identifies a ceramic inner pot, tempered-glass lid, and three heat settings.
  • The manual index lists separate black, blue, copper, and silver model codes.

What to weigh up

  • A countdown timer or automatic Warm transition is not established.
  • The maker's linked manual archive did not provide an opened exact guide in the saved packet.
  • The historical Amazon ASIN does not verify a present exact model offer.

What the features mean for you

A specific black 3.5-quart variant

Brentwood's official page identifies model SC-136BK as a 3.5-qt Diamond Pattern slow cooker in black. The maker's manual index lists black SC-136BK separately from blue SC-136BL, copper SC-136C, and silver SC-136S. That exact code boundary matters: a shared family manual does not turn the different finishes into one offer, and this profile should not be merged with Brentwood's 3-qt SC-130S. The 3.5-qt capacity describes one cooking vessel, making it a mid-size option between compact 1.5-qt models and larger 6- or 7-qt cookers.

Three heat settings without a documented clock

The exact-model page lists Low, High, and Warm. Those are three heat settings, not evidence of a countdown timer. The saved packet does not establish a selectable duration, delayed start, or automatic movement from cooking to Warm. Treat the appliance as manually controlled and manage the recipe's completion with its own instructions. A shopper who needs an unattended finish should choose a model whose guide names its program sequence. The Warm selector can still be useful for holding food after cooking, but the sources do not state a timed warm-hold duration for this exact model.

Materials and removable parts

Brentwood describes a ceramic inner pot, tempered-glass lid, metal body, and cool-touch handles. Its product page says the parts are dishwasher-safe, but follow the complete instructions included with the cooker and keep the powered housing separate from washable parts. The maker's specification uses its own certification wording; this review does not convert that wording into an independent safety endorsement. The decorative diamond pattern is the product's most visible distinguishing feature, while the removable ceramic pot supports serving and cleanup. No claims are made about scratch resistance or how the exterior holds up over time.

Distinguish it from related Brentwood codes

Brentwood's index separates SC-136BK from other colors in the SC-136 family and separates that 3.5-qt series from SC-130S. The exact finish and capacity are therefore useful matching details, not cosmetic assumptions based on a product photo. The SC-136 manual file itself was not available from the maker archive during the saved research, so this review does not borrow additional timing, wattage, or care specifics from an unverified document. The official page is the basis for the listed settings and parts; where it does not give a timer or end behavior, the profile stays open.

Choose the capacity for your usual recipes

At 3.5 qt, SC-136BK is smaller than a conventional 6-qt family cooker and larger than the smallest dip-sized pots. That may be a useful middle size, but a quart label is not a promise about servings. Compare your normal recipe's volume and the cooker footprint before buying. Buyers who value the black patterned body can also check whether the exact code is shown in the seller's listing, because several similar SC-136 finishes share family instructions. If the pattern is not important, a plainer 3-qt or 6-qt model may offer a closer capacity match.

The current Amazon link remains a search

The historical Amazon detail page returned a cache miss and does not prove that the ASIN currently maps to SC-136BK. The page therefore uses a tagged exact-model search instead of a direct product link. Confirm the SC-136BK model label, black finish, included ceramic pot and lid, and instructions on the offered unit. Do not accept a sibling suffix as equivalent unless the seller documents the exact code. This review is based on the maker's product information and manual index rather than personal testing; it makes no claims about present price, stock, or buyer ratings.

What else to compare

For a 3-qt stainless-body finish, compare Brentwood SC-130S and note its conflicting third-mode wording. For an Arkansas team design and 6-qt pot, Crock-Pot SCCPNCAA600-UAR is larger and manual.
