Grab these Instant Pot Black Friday deals while they're still hot
If you’re shopping around for one of the best Instant Pots, the current Black Friday deals are already offering some great discounts.
As Homes Content Editor, I’ve tested a bunch of Instant Pots, cooking up a feast and making an abundance of stews! I’ve found these countertop appliances incredibly versatile, convenient and can produce quick results at just the press of a button. These handy, multi-functional, pressure cookers come with a range of programs like steam, bake, yogurt making, sterilize and they can even air-fry — depending on the model. So it comes as no surprise that Instant Pots have become a must-have kitchen item.
Luckily, I’ve spotted some impressive deals from retailers right now. Perhaps my favorite deal is on the Instant Pot Duo Plus Whisper Quiet 9-in-1 Pressure Cooker on sale for just $79 at Amazon. That's an impressive 47% off, and the lowest price we’ve seen for one of the best instant pots right now. Best Buy is also offering the same deal, and if you’re after a smart Instant Pot, the Instant Pot - 6Qt Pro Plus with WiFi 120V - Black, is currently on offer for $149 from $199.
Another deal that caught my eye was the Instant Pot - 8 Quart Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker with Air Fryer for $149 from $199. I’ve tested this model and it has to be my favorite by far. I was impressed by the pressure cooking for meat stews, which produced tender and flavorful dishes each time. I was also impressed by the air fryer function that quickly cooked frozen french fries in under 15 minutes — with crisp and tasty results. Best of all, if you’re after the sheer convenience of having a 2-in-1 air fryer and pressure cooker combo, this is a real space saver for compact spaces, and good value for money.
So whether you're looking to buy a new Instant Pot ahead of the holidays, or wish to upgrade your existing model, then now is a great time to pick up a great Instant Pot deal and cook easy.
