It's hard to imagine a piece of kitchen cookware that does more than a multicooker (I mean it's right there in the name). And right now, an Insignia 8-quart digital multifunction pressure cooker is currently down to just $40 (normally $120) as one of Best Buy's daily deals. If you're interested in making large batches of chili, stew, pulled pork and other fall favorites, there's no easier way.

With all the functionality of the originator, the Instant Pot, this Insignia multifunction cooker can be used as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer, rice cooker and more. It's the ultimate vessel for making tender meats and easy weeknight dinners that taste like they took hours, healthy meal planning and even a simple, protein-packed breakfast in a pinch.

While I haven't had a chance to try Insignia's cooker yet, this model scores extremely high marks in more than 5,700 verified purchase reviews. It's also one of the lowest prices we've seen, and it all boils down to a lot of kitchen cooking power for $40.
