The Duo Mini has seven functions and 11 programmable settings. The right size for two to three servings, you can use the Instant Pot Duo Mini as a programmable pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker, and warmer.

Press a button on the Instant Pot’s control panel to select from 11 smart programs:  Soup/Broth, Meat/Stew, Bean/Chili, Slow Cook, Sauté/Searing, Rice, Porridge, Steam, Yogurt, Keep Warm, and Pressure Cook.

You can go with the default settings for each program or adjust the temperature to tailor the cooking to your preferences. For example, you can select “Less,” “Normal,” or “More” for all eleven programs. There are three temperature settings for sautéing depending on whether you want to sear, simmer, or thicken. You can also choose from three temperature settings each in Slow Cook and Keep Warm modes.

Time is of the essence when we cook for our families in our busy lives. The Instant Pot Duo Mini can delay the cooking start time by up to 24 hours and when the cooking is finished the cooker automatically switches to Keep Warm mode until you are ready to serve.

Normally priced at $80, the Instant Pot Duo Mini 3-quart 7-in-1 cooker is just $48 during this one-day deal. Instant Pot sales are common, but 40% off is rare. If you are looking for a programmable multifunction cooker for 2-3 people or could use an Instant Pot Duo Mini as a backup for a larger model or to cook side dishes for a large family,  this is a great opportunity to take advantage of an awesome price. You’ll need to act fast because Duo Mini will do a Cinderella at midnight tonight in the East Coast time zone.

Apple’s next home robot could turn its screen to follow you, but it might cost you $1,000 to do so

Apple HomeView feature

Remember the hopping Pixar lamp that famously squashes the letter “I” in the studio logo at the beginning of almost every Pixar movie? Apple may be building something similar, except this Pixar-inspired device won't actually hop or roll around your room. 

Instead, its motorized robotic arm could swivel the screen around (basically moving it left to right, or vice versa, on an axis). According to a new report from The Information, the Cupertino giant is working on a larger, robotic version of its recently-announced HomeView smart display, and it might arrive as soon as next year.

Apple’s recently unveiled HomeView smart display could also function as a home security camera, according to a new finding in its software. The device, which already has a built-in camera for FaceTime calls and facial recognition, could supposedly use the same hardware for motion detection, live streaming, and video recording through HomeKit Secure Video.

The feature was spotted by a Reddit user in the settings files of HomeView Software 27.2 (via TheVerge). Apple hasn’t officially announced anything about it yet, but the references suggest there are going to be a few more uses for the built-in camera.
