Walmart is dropping the price of the Instant Pot LUX60 6-quart, 6-in-1 multi-use programmable pressure cooker so low, people who already have one Instant Pot may buy this one as a spare. When Digital Trends’ reviewer tested the Instant Pot LUX, she called it “a gateway drug into the pleasures of pressure cooking.” And with this great deal over at Walmart going on right now, it’s hard to resist the temptation.

Instant Pot has LUX models in 3-quart, 6-quart, and 8-quart sizes, each with identical features. The Instant Pot LUX60 is a combination pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, sauté, steamer, and warmer. While it’s on sale, Walmart is knocking $40 off the LUX60 $99 list price.

Instant Pot claims the versatile countertop appliance cooks from two to six times faster than conventional methods. Our reviewer said the Instant Pot LUX is an amazing help with quick turnaround when the kids ask, “When’s dinner?” at 6 p.m. and you haven’t defrosted or started anything.

Instant Pot makes a wide range of multifunction pressure cookers with different designs, capacities, and features.  The 6-quart LUX60 is the right size for most families. Pre-programmed functions available with the single press of a button on the cooker’s touch panel adjust temperature, pressure, and time settings. An onboard third-generation microprocessor monitors the settings and makes adjustments as necessary, so the finished dish is the same every time, cooked consistently throughout.

The LUX60’s programmed setting include preparing soup or broth, meat or stew, cake, eggs, saute, rice, multigrain, porridge, steamed, and slow-cooked dishes. You can delay the start time up to 24 hours, and the Instant Pot keeps prepared food warm automatically when it finishes cooking.

Because the Instant Pot LUX60 cooks in a fully sealed container, all the nutritional goodness and flavors remain in the food rather than escaping and heating your kitchen. The stainless steel inner pot is dishwasher safe to simplify cleanup. The LUX60 comes with a soup spoon, rice spoon, measuring cup, condensation collector cup, steaming rack, recipe guide, time table, and user guide, in addition to the inner pot with and lid.

Normally priced at $99, the Instant Pot LUX60 is just $59 during this sale. If you’re in the market for your first pressure cooker, considering a second unit, or searching for a truly useful gift, take advantage of this excellent price. Though you can also take a look at some of the best Instant Pots you can buy.

Apple’s new smart home gear looks great. But that Apple tax is heartbreaking
Apple's smart home is a very expensive place to live
Apple Home Collection cameras, doorbell, smart lock, and thermostats launched at Apple Welcome Home event

Apple is finally taking the smart home segment more seriously with its latest Home Collection. The company now has a compelling lineup of cameras, doorbells, locks, and thermostats that look right at home alongside its other products (HomeView and HomePod mini 2). While not everyone is a fan of the minimalist designs (often calling them too clinical), I do appreciate the clean aesthetics.

Of course, one of the key selling points is the integration, which looks incredibly polished, and there's plenty to appreciate about Apple's privacy-first approach. But Apple being Apple is making sure you pay every penny for it. Developed alongside LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, Apple's new accessories start at $199.95 for an indoor camera and climb to $399.95 for a floodlight camera. Add an outdoor camera, video doorbell, smart lock, and thermostat to the mix, and you're already approaching $1,300 for five basic smart home devices.
