Loaded with Instant Pot’s third-generation tech, the DUO80 monitors the countertop cooker’s pressure, temperature, and time, and automatically adjusts the heating intensity and cooking duration.

Instant Pot DUO Plus 60, 6-Quart 9-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker — $30 off

If you can get by without the extra two-quart capacity of the DUO80 above, the Instant Pot DUO Plus 60 six-quart 9-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker adds three more cooking functions. Just like the DUO80 the DUO Plus 60 replaces a pressure cooker, pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté, yogurt maker and warmer in your kitchen. The DUO Plus 60 also works as an egg cooker, a sterilizer, and a cake maker. Fifteen smart programs take over cooking so you can concentrate on work, play, family, or taking a nap — knowing your meal will be ready on time and just the way you like it.

Regularly $130, the Instant Pot DUO Plus 60 is $100 while this deal lasts. So with the discount the DUO Plus 60 is $10 more than the DUO80 during this sale, but you can use it to sterilize bottles or jars, cook eggs, and make cake!

Instant Pot LUX60 V3 6-Quart 6-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker — $11 off

If you can do without the DUO80’s yogurt maker and won’t need the extra two-quart capacity, even for a party, consider the Instant Pot LUX60 V3 6-Quart 6-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker. The Lux60 V3 sets you up with a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, sauté, steamer, and warmer for about twenty bucks less than the DUO80 right now.

It usually lists for $80, but the Instant Pot LUX60 V3 six-quart 6-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker is cut to $69 during this sale. For many people, this capacity and these cooking functions are just right.
