Get the *ultra* nice 10-in-1 Instant Pot Ultra on sale for $30 off at Amazon

TwitterFacebook

Hello, beautiful: The 6-quart Instant Pot Ultra is on sale for $30 off at Amazon, dropping it down to just $119.99 — the price that it was for Prime Day 2018. Random, but we’ll take it.

The 10-in-1 Ultra is truly ultra fancy (we’re just going to pretend like that’s the reason for its name). Working as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, egg cooker, steamer, warmer, sauté pan, yogurt maker, sterilizer, and cake maker, it can essentially replace 10 appliances in your kitchen, offering some serious downsizing opportunities — plus the street cred that comes with having one of the nicest Instant Pots.  Read more…

TwitterFacebook

Black Friday is out and Cyber Monday is in — and before you ask, yes, Instant Pots are still on sale.

The fast-and-furious multicookers that took the world by storm were one of the items that everyone was racing toward this past sale weekend — but if you somehow let the Black Friday deals slip through the cracks, you’re not out of luck.

Much to our surprise, we’re seeing deals on more unique models that are rarely on sale. While Black Friday was all about the 7-in-1 Duo, Cyber Monday deals offer options of the best-selling Duo Plus, the rectangular Gem, and more. Skipping Black Friday may have been a blessing in disguise. Read more…

Black Friday 2018: KitchenAid mixers are on super sale at Walmart, Macy’s, Best Buy, and more

TwitterFacebook

Black Friday is finally here, and everyone is geared up to drop their savings on a new TV or laptop — unless you’re one of those people who accidentally watches recipe videos on Facebook for hours. In that case, you’ve probably been waiting (slash drooling) for the perfect moment to invest in one of those beautiful KitchenAid mixers. 

Heads up: It’s now.

These stunners have basically become a status symbol in the foodie world. They’re known for their powerful motors and countless attachments, but let’s be real — everyone’s secretly really into them for the color selection. KitchenAid mixers are one of the hottest items this Black Friday, with most mixers on sale for hundreds of dollars off everywhere. (But those low prices means colors are selling out quickly, so you had better move quick.) Read more…

Step aside, Xboxes and giant TVs: Instant Pots are taking up space on page one of Black Friday ads now.

It’s totally not surprising, though. Instant Pots just make cooking (and life) easier, and are one of those rare items that fit into the daily lives of college students, adults, and grandparents alike — so we’d suggest shopping online to avoid stores selling out or getting knocked over by grandma hauling ass down the kitchen aisle.

This 13-piece stainless steel cookware set is 75% off at Macy’s, dropping it to under $30

TwitterFacebook

The kitchen is easily one of the most expensive rooms to stock: With appliances, plus dinnerware, plus cookware, and then, you know, actual groceries on top of that, you might find yourself resorting to sticky hand-me-down pots and pans from yard sales with questionable crust dried on them. 

Wannabe foodies, get psyched: Macy’s has slashed the price of this well-reviewed 13-piece set by 75% — taking it from $119.99 to an unbelievable $29.99. Dude.

This set by Tools of the Trade includes 13 of the most-used pots, pans, lids, and utensils, all in stunning stainless steel: A 1.5-qt. saucepan with lid, a 2.5-qt. saucepan with lid, a 5-qt. stockpot with lid, a 9.5-inch sauté pan with lid, an 8-inch fry pan, a flower steamer, a large spoon, a slotted spatula, and a pasta server.  Read more…

We’re just gonna cut to the chase with this one: All three sizes (yes, you read that right) of the 7-in-1 Instant Pot Duo are 20% off at Macy’s with code VETS. This is not a drill.

This is the first time we’ve ever seen all three sizes of the best-selling Instant Pot on sale at once — meaning you can get the one you really want.  Read more…

Grab the rectangular Instant Pot Gem (which is never the one on sale) for $21 off at Walmart

TwitterFacebook

Instant Pots can pressure cook, Instant Pots can make yogurt, Instant Pots can cook eggs, yadda yadda. We get it, they can do a lot of shit — but the smaller models seem to overlook meals that require baking, large roasts, and other similar recipes.

Sike — as if Instant Pot didn’t think of that. Their rectangular six-quart multicooker, the Gem, is your answer to the things a cylindrical Instant Pot couldn’t do, and it’s a rare $21 off at Walmart right now.

The Gem truly is a hidden gem in the Instant Pot line. Its siblings (mostly the Lux and Duo) seem to take up the spotlight most of the time, but that’s just because they’re the models on sale most often. We haven’t covered a discount on the Gem since Cyber Monday 2017, so we’re more excited than usual for this one. (The deal is insane and only lasts until Oct. 31, so don’t miss the window.)

Tons of Le Creuset kitchenware is on sale at Macy’s — you don’t want to miss this

TwitterFacebook

Having kitchenware from Le Creuset is like the foodie version of people with tattoos making sure that their newest ink is in every single picture they take.

“Oh, haha, silly me — I didn’t even notice that I left my extremely fancy French pot on the stove. I totally did not do that on purpose because people were coming over.”

These premium French dishes have started such a cult-like obsession, people don’t hesitate to pay the ridiculously expensive full price (just check out the #LeCreuset hashtag on Instagram). But today, a miracle is happening: Macy’s is having a massive brand-wide sale, shaving hundreds off of these status symbols. Read more…
