Can any one appliance really replace seven? Yep, sure can.

People rave about Instant Pots and swear they work like a dream. Lucky for you, Sur La Table has them on sale right now.

In case you’ve been living under a rock and missed the whole Instant Pot phenomenon, you may be wondering what exactly these little beauties do. An Instant Pot is a multi-cooker that does the job of a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, sauté pan, warming pot, or even a sous-vide cooker, which is just fancy chef talk for cooking under vacuum pressure.

Even if you don’t use all that stuff, you should have one, because, well, they’re awesome.

Instant Pot Ultra come in three different sizes; a three-quart, six-quart, and eight-quart options. Each of them ship for free with code SHIPFREE, but jump on the deal instantly before it’s too late.

Each of the three size options come with a stainless steel bowl, which is ideal for sautéing and browning foods.
