If you're looking for an Instant Pot, there are serious deals on the
popular multicookers today. We found Instant Pots and Instant Pot accessories
that are way down from their normal sticker prices.
Instant Pot is a popular small appliance that functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker,
steamer and warmer, with a sauté mode so you can make tender meats like brisket, beef stew, shredded chicken and pulled pork from start to
finish. An Instant Pot keeps all the food securely inside the pot with a safe-locking lid.
It'll deliver easy meals that taste like they've taken hours to make -- but in reality require
a fraction of the time.
Wondering how to spot a multicooker deal? Instant Pots come in more variations than laptops, it seems, and pricing is often all over the map.
The main rule: $60 to $80 is the sweet spot for a standard 6-quart Instant
Pot (without the air fryer attachment) and anything lower than that means we're venturing into all-time low territory.
Newer models with more bells and whistles aren't likely to go
that low. For instance, the souped-up

Insignia 6-quart multicooker $40
Save $20
Insignia
If you want a basic multicooker and aren't hung up on name brands, Insignia's version of the Instant Pot is
down to a tempting $40. It has all the same functions
as your basic Instant Pot but at one-third of the price.
This is the popular 6-quart size which is perfect for families of
three or four or those who host gatherings and might want to make easy batches of pulled pork, chicken chili, stews and
more.

Instant Pot electric Dutch oven: $180
Instant Pot
This interesting hybrid cooker is less well known than Instant Pot's pressure cookers,
but if you're in the market for either a Dutch oven or a slow cooker
-- or if you need both -- this might be an ideal small appliance.
CNET has yet to test this one but it's essentially an enameled cast-iron Dutch oven (which
we love) with its own heating base so you can precisely control the
temperature of the food inside. Great for braising, stewing and warming food.
And the Dutch oven can be removed and placed gracefully on the table for serving.

Instant Pot air fryer lid (fits the 6-quart): $70
You save $20
Instant Pot
We've seen this handy air fryer lid drop lower during Black Friday
and other sales but this is still a nice $20 drop from the normal
price. It'll turn any 6-quart Instant Pot into a powerful air fryer for making much healthier versions of your favorite fried snacks.
It works great and doesn't take up much space in the cupboard either.

Instant Pot Pro 6-quart multicooker: $100
Save $30
Instant Pot
This might be Instant Pot's sleekest model and it's $30 off right now.
The jet black paint job fits a modern aesthetic, and the multicooker boasts 28
cooking programs and 10 modes: pressure cook, slow cook,
sous vide, sauté, sterilizer, yogurt maker, food warmer, cake baker and steamer.

Instant Pot Duo Crisp multicooker and air fryer: $108
Save $31
Instant Pot
If you need the whole kit and kaboodle (Instant Pot and air fryer lid) this is
a solid price for the bundle. It acts as a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, steamer,
sauté pan, food warmer, sous vide, roaster, broiler and dehydrator.
Wondering how the air fryer lid works? Check out the air-fried chicken I made in this exact Duo Crisp model a few weeks back.
It's hard to fathom a kitchen appliance that does more than this one
and you likely won't find the 6-quart version for cheaper
than it is right now. For reference, the air fryer lid alone usually sells for $89.
Note, Target doesn't list this as "on sale" but it's a full $31 cheaper than you'll find it elsewhere including Amazon.
