That cgadget is experiencing a notable sale-the Instant Pot Duo Mini 7-in-1 is on sale for $59.99, and the Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 is 50% off for $69.99. The Duo Plus has extra functionality and double the capacity, so unless you have serious storage constraints, it's worth the extra $10.
My favorite Instant appliance is their Vortex six-quart basket air fryer and that's on sale right now for 29% off for $84.99. I love this machine-maybe too much. After testing multiple air fryers of different styles (you can see how they stack up here), this one became my daily go-to machine. The Instant Vortex cooks evenly, it's powerful, ventilates well, and it's hands-down the easiest to clean. I've literally taken one air fryer out, stared at it and put it back in the storage cabinet because I knew I'd regret the mess. Instead, I'd grab my trusty Vortex. You can read my full review of the Instant Vortex air fryer here-note that the one on sale right now is the newer generation with a larger digital display.
I'm a big fan of simple rice cookers that have a single switch and operate with a spring-loaded mechanism, but newer, sleeker rice cookers are all the rage. They're loaded with preset functions for other types of grains (quinoa, oats, brown rice and others), so you don't have to think about it so much. The Instant Pot rice cooker is exactly this type of grain cooker with a sleek, clean design and easy to navigate menu of options. It's a 20-cup rice cooker, so I recommend this one for anyone who likes to meal prep big batches of rice to freeze, or who cooks for more than four people.
While those are my favorite finds, don't sleep on these other sales Instant Pot is holding right now.
