Why You Can Trust CNET Cyber Monday is over but these Instant Pot deals are still cookin'
Tuesday's chill with Cyber Monday savings.
An Instant Pot.
The Instant Pot multicooker is now more affordable than it's ever been large in part thanks to Cyber Monday deals, many of which are still live and in effect. If you're new to this kitchen miracle machine, it's the perfect sous-chef, for whipping up simple, fast weeknight meals that taste like you've been chained to a hot stove for hours. The hardware inside keeps a fast, consistent and safely contained pressure while cooking, but an Instant Pot also works as slow cooker, warmer (ace for entertaining), steamer, rice cooker, cake maker and more. Basically, it's like having a second pair of hands in the kitchen -- really, really capable hands.

This smart model does all the things that make the Instant Pot brand the cookware phenomenon it is, but this one is also compatible with Alexa and has mobile app to control your Instant Pot remotely.

An upgrade from the popular DUO, the DUO Plus is a staggering nine kitchen appliances in one including pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, egg cooker, yogurt maker, warmer and sterilizer. Plus it cooks up to 70% faster than it's predecessor.
This is the biggest of the DUO and the perfect Instant Pot if you've got a lot of mouths to feed. Right now it's down to $99 (normally $140).
Instant Pots are virtually foolproof, with easy programmable cooking settings and automatic shut-off. The 6-quart Duo is a perfect size -- and price, currently -- if you've been thinking about trying one.
