Why you should buy the Instant Pot Duo

Cooking with an Instant Pot means you can serve nutritious and delicious meals without spending hours with traditional cooking. The Instant Pot Duo 6-quart model is the right size for families or groups of three to five people. The Instant Pot Duo is more than a pressure cooker. The Duo is also a slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, sauté pan, and food warmer. You’ll save kitchen counter space with the Instant Pot because you won’t need separate appliances for those other cooking methods. There are literally thousands of Instant Pot recipes online, in cookbooks, and in a recipe book included with the Instant Pot Duo. It’s easy to choose cooking methods and to set time and temperature settings with the control panel’s extensive selection of one-touch buttons on the front of the Duo’s finger-print resistant stainless steel case. The control panel also has 13 customizable Smart Program buttons preset for cooking ribs, soup, beans, rice, poultry, and more. With selectable low-pressure and high-pressure settings you have even more flexibility to cut your cooking time by up to 70% according to the manufacturer.

If you’re wondering which Instant Pot model you should buy, the Instant Pot Duo is a featured model in the Digital Trends best Instant Pots for 2022 list. The Digital Trends Instant Pot Duo review praised its versatility, safety features, reliability, and vast trove of online recipes. The Instant Pot Duo comes with the base unit, a food-grade stainless steel inner cooking pot, stainless steel lid, a condensation collector, silicon sealing ring, plus an accessory set comprised of a steaming rack, rice paddle, soup ladle, and a rice measuring cup. To help you start cooking immediately you’ll also find a user manual, quick reference guide, and a recipe book in the box. Cleanup is fast and easy with the Instant Pot Duo because the cooking pot, lid, and accessories are all dishwasher safe.

Whether you’re shopping for early Instant Pot deals for your holiday gift list or for yourself, Walmart’s Black Friday Instant Pot deal on the 6-quart Duo model is the answer. Don’t wait for Black Friday because this model may well sell out early, so take the $30 savings off the $80 regular price and snap up the Instant Pot Duo for just $50.

Grab this ice cream maker while it’s discounted in Walmart’s sale
ninja creami walmart deal may 2024

With summer pretty much here, there are very few things that can be more refreshing than ice makers, and if you're looking to pick up one of the best ice cream makers to help cool you down, you're in luck. That's because the Ninja CREAMi has a great deal going for it right now in the Walmart Deals sales event, and even better than that, it actually does a lot more than just ice cream. You can grab it for just $169, rather than the usual $199 it goes for, so you get a solid $30 off the regular price.

Why you should buy the Ninja CREAMi
The Ninja CREAMi is a pretty interesting device, given that it does a lot more functions than just making ice cream. For example, it can make milkshakes, sorbets, and even light ice cream for those who don't enjoy the heavy creaminess of regular ice cream. Of course, there is a little preparation that needs to go into it, as the first step of any of these is freezing what you want made in the freezer overnight. But that's a simple process, and you get a couple of containers you can use, so you can have them going simultaneously or one after the other. Once that's done, you just stick it in the Ninja CREAMi and choose whatever option you want, and it preps it for you, and that usually involves blending and churning whatever you put in the container.
