There are literally thousands of Instant Pot recipes online, in cookbooks, and in a recipe book included with the Instant Pot Duo. It’s easy to choose cooking methods and to set time and temperature settings with the control panel’s extensive selection of one-touch buttons on the front of the Duo’s finger-print resistant stainless steel case. The control panel also has 13 customizable Smart Program buttons preset for cooking ribs, soup, beans, rice, poultry, and more. With selectable low-pressure and high-pressure settings you have even more flexibility to cut your cooking time by up to 70% according to the manufacturer.

If you’re wondering which Instant Pot model you should buy, the Instant Pot Duo is a featured model in the Digital Trends best Instant Pots for 2022 list.

To help you start cooking immediately you’ll also find a user manual, quick reference guide, and a recipe book in the box. Cleanup is fast and easy with the Instant Pot Duo because the cooking pot, lid, and accessories are all dishwasher safe.

Whether you’re shopping for early Instant Pot deals for your holiday gift list or for yourself, Walmart’s Black Friday Instant Pot deal on the 6-quart Duo model is the answer. Don’t wait for Black Friday because this model may well sell out early, so take the $30 savings off the $80 regular price and snap up the Instant Pot Duo for just $50.

Walmart may have won the 4th of July sales with this 50-inch TV deal
The onn. 50-inch 4K Roku TV hangs on a wall.

If you're not familiar with onn., it's a company that specializes in budget TVs, often in the 4k range, so they're a great option if you want to upgrade your home theater setup without breaking the bank. In fact, there's even this 4th of July deal from Walmart that discounts a 50-inch onn. 4K TV down to just $198 instead of $238, allowing you to grab a 4k TV for less than $200.

Why you should buy the onn. 50-inch 4K TV
There's a lot to like about the 50-inch onn. TV besides the price, and while 4k has become somewhat commonplace nowadays, it's still nice to see on a budget TV. Similarly, while you won't get something like HDR10+, you still get HDR10 and its excellent contrast ratio and brightness. The image fidelity is also impressive for a budget TV, so you can watch all your content and play games without worrying about getting a sub-par TV. Another thing you don't often see on budget TVs is Dolby Audio, and even though that will work for most folks, we encourage you to check out some of these soundbar deals instead; they're just as cheap and will offer much better sound.
