Amazon Prime Day Instant Pot deal: A 6-quart Instant Pot Duo Plus is $60 (all-time-low) – CNET [CNET]

This story is part of Amazon Prime Day 2021, CNET’s guide on everything you need to know and how to make sure you get the best deal.

If you’re hunting for an Instant Pot deal, your timing couldn’t be better. Amazon Prime Day has begun and runs through Tuesday, bringing some major discounts on the ever-popular multicooker. The versatile kitchen sidekick got some early price drops, including an all-time-low price for the popular Instant Pot Duo Plus — down to $59 at Best Buy during its Prime Day counter-sale.

The Instant Pot is the multicooker that functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer and warmer, with a sauté mode so you can make tender meats like brisket, beef stew, shredded chicken and pulled pork from start to finish. It delivers meals that taste like they’ve taken hours to make but in a fraction of the time, so it’s no surprise that they continue to be one of the hottest small kitchen appliances, especially if you can snag one on sale. 

Wondering how to spot a multicooker deal? Instant Pots come in more variations than laptops, it seems, and pricing is often all over the map. The main rule: $60 to $70 is the sweet spot for a 6-quart Instant Pot. Most Instant Pots come in 3-, 6- and 8-quart sizes, with the 6-quart models being the most popular for families. For a single person or even a couple, you could easily get away with a 3-quart.

Below you’ll find the best live Prime Day deals on Instant Pots from around the web.
