Choosing among Instant Pot’s wide variety of multi-use programmable pressure cookers can be confusing, but here’s why the 3-quart DUO Plus model is a best-seller. The DUO Plus series’ nine cooking functions are an upgrade from the 7-in-1 DUO series, adding egg cooking and sterilization modes. The Instant Pot DUO Plus series is also available in 6-quart and 8-quart models. The DUO Plus 6-quart version, currently on sale for $90 is the best size for families of four to six people. The DUO Plus 8-quart version, $140 on sale, is for larger families or groups of more than six people.

This model replaces a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, egg cooker, sauté pan, steamer, warmer, and sterilizer. The convenient, newly added sterilizer function can sterilize baby bottles, jars, and utensils. Choosing from the 15 preset programs is easy with one-touch buttons, and you can always change program settings for pressure, temperature, and time.

The Instant Pot DUO Plus Mini 3-quart includes the following accessories: a stainless steel steam rack, rice paddle, soup spoon, measuring cup, condensation collector, and a recipe booklet.

Normally priced $100, the Instant Pot DUO Plus Mini is on sale for today only for $55, a whopping 45% discount. If you want an Instant Pot that doesn’t take up too much counter space, and is perfect for a couple, take advantage of this drastic price cut by midnight tonight.

Instant Pot Pro Plus lets you pressure cook with confidence using a mobile app
instant pot pro plus pressure cooking mobile app lifestyle

With fall in full swing, it's no surprise that slow cookers will be in action to whip up all of your favorite holiday dishes. Instant Pot has announced a new smartphone-friendly model to its well-known pressure cooker lineup. The Instant Pot Pro Plus boasts Wi-Fi connectivity, an app chock-full of recipes, and a few hardware design updates.

The core functions of the 10-in-1 cooker remain the same. You can use it to slow cook, steam veggies, cook rice, sauté meat, make yogurt, use as a sous vide, and even can your own preserves. Rice and soup modes include something called NutriBoost, which uses bursts of steam to mix things up inside and evenly distribute flavor. Apparently, this also increases the nutritional value. Instant Pot says cooking with this can be up to 70% faster compared to the stove, which also saves on power usage.

Instant Brands leaps from multicookers to the new Instant Air Purifier

While the Instant brand is most known for its popular Instant Pot multicookers and related kitchen appliances, the manufacturer is entering a new field with the Instant Air Purifier, designed to help users remove unwanted contaminants from the air.

The Instant Air Purifier, which is currently available for sale for $240, may seem like an odd move for a brand that exists primarily in the kitchen, but the expansion is timely: Instant designed and tested the Air Purifier specifically for dealing with issues like potential COVID-19 virus particles in the air. It uses a three-in-one filtration system with a HEPA-13 filter, a carbon filter to help remove odors, and an antimicrobial filter to prevent the growth of bacteria in the purifier. An additional plasma ion filter helps to sterilize potential harmful particles and reduce particle numbers.
