Amazon takes 31% off of the Instant Pot Sous Vide for Prime Day 2019

Sous vide (French for “under vacuum”) has changed the way we cook delicious food, for the better. If you love cooking and haven’t tried this method yet, now is the best time to get one. The Instant Pot Accu Slim Sous Vide Immersion Circulator is currently on sale for only $55 from its original price of $80. That’s a $25 discount you will get today on Amazon Prime Day.

Cooking in the sous vide style requires putting dishes in vacuum-sealed plastic pouches submerged in hot water. The sous vide machine then retains the water temperature at the well-defined level. The results of this preparation are evenly cooked food with all juices, vitamins, and minerals retained. Sous vide enthusiasts claim food cooked this way are more tender, healthier, and tastes better compared to other techniques.

The Instant Pot Accu Slim looks like a gear shift lever that has a control panel display, a rubber-coated frame, a pot retaining clamp, a removable warming element cover, and water flow holes at the bottom.

While most sous vide manufacturers including Instant Pot rarely display the water heaters with cords attached, they are not wireless. The Accu Slim has a 12-volt 60Hz internal power supply that plugs into a standard outlet. Its 12V DC motor is quieter compared to other standard AC motors used.

The Instant Pot Sous Vide cooks with precision. You can set the temperature with increments from 68 degrees to 203 degrees Fahrenheit with an adjustable cooking time between 10 minutes and 72 hours. Accu Slim Sous Vide creates and maintains an even and accurately controlled water bath for perfect cooking results.

Though the Accu Slim control panel can set the desired water temperature and cooking time, it’s still important to check the water level while cooking sous vide, especially for long time periods. If the water level falls below the minimum level marker, it’s necessary to add more water.

Usually priced at $80, the Instant Pot Accu Slim Sous Vide Immersion Circulator is on sale for only $55 during Prime Day. Don’t waste this great opportunity and get yours now with an awesome $25 discount.

Prime Day in October: Get a pack of 12 AA rechargeable batteries for $18

AmazonsBasics AA batteries being inserted into a game controller.

As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes, you just have to buy those pesky household items you never want to spend money on. But if you're lucky, you can take advantage of some excellent discounts, like Prime Day deals, which provide the perfect opportunity to stock up. Amazon's Prime Day Big Deal Days event makes those discounts even sweeter. While we are close to an AA-battery-free world, it hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, we have a rechargeable option to spend less money and throw fewer batteries into landfills. Right now, you can get a 12-pack of Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries for just $18, thanks to a 10% discount on Prime Day. This deal will likely only stick around during the sale, so if your battery drawer is running low, grab them as soon as possible.

Why you should buy Amazon AA rechargeable batteries during the Prime Day Big Deal Days sale
Of course, there's not much I can tell you about batteries that you don't already know. These Amazon Basics brand AAs have a 2,000 mAh storage capacity. That's lower than a traditional alkaline battery, but it has enough power to last for a good three to four hours of continuous use. Then the rechargeable factor comes in. You can recharge these batteries about 1,000 times before they die out. Think about how many batteries it will save you -- and how much money. Let's do some quick napkin math. 1,000 recharges... alkaline batteries cost around one-third the price of a rechargeable... factor in the difference in storage capacity... It could be as much as $300 in savings over a single battery's lifetime. A lot less waste too.
