Amazon slashes the price of the Instant Pot Duo Mini with a $20 discount

If you’re looking for ways to cut your time in the kitchen and make do with limited counter space, then an Instant Pot will surely serve you well as it enables every home cook to enjoy a sumptuous meal almost effortlessly. Right now, Amazon has a deal on the

Instant Pot Duo Mini

that slashes its typical $80 list price with a $20 discount that makes it available at just $60.

Instant Pots have grown in popularity as a multicooker and the Duo Mini stays true to its claim as it replaces seven kitchen appliances with its ability to function as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, as much as you can use it to saute or keep food warm. Moreover, with 14 one-touch cooking presets, you’ll be able to explore countless recipes to bring out the chef within you. The Instant Pot app alone gives you access to over 1,000 recipes and is available on either iOS or Android platforms.

Food preparation is significantly more efficient as it enables you to cook two to three times faster with no compromise to its overall quality. Cooking in an Instant Pot can be synonymous to cooking in a fully sealed container which not only serves to prevent the food’s flavor, nutrients, and aromas from escaping but also means you don’t have to keep a watchful eye. Its inner pot has a three-ply bottom to assure heat is evenly distributed while peace of mind is guaranteed with 10 safety mechanisms to counter common errors that may cause harm or spoil food.

The three-quart capacity of the Duo Mini lets you cook a meal for one or two people which makes it ideal for those living alone or for couples. Although there are many fast-food chains that can easily sate your hunger, you can spend a lot less money and enjoy a home-cooked meal whenever you want by simply taking advantage of its 24-hour programmability to delay its start. That way, food is always served fresh and hot on the dot as it automatically switches to keep warm mode once the cooking time lapses.

This bestselling model is more than equipped to monitor pressure and temperature, keep time, adjust heating intensity and duration to achieve the desired results every time. Cleaning up will hardly be tedious as its stainless steel exterior is fingerprint-resistant while all its components and accessories (steam rack with handles, serving spoon, soup ladle, and measuring cup) are dishwasher safe.

The latest iPad Air just got a major discount at Amazon

If you're thinking about buying a new iPad, you're in luck because Amazon has slashed the price of the fifth-generation Apple iPad Air. The 64GB, Wi-Fi model, originally priced at $599, is on sale with a $40 discount, and you'll get an additional $59 off at checkout so you'll only have to pay $500. That's equivalent to total savings of $99 for the latest version of the iPad Air, but you'll need to hurry with your purchase if you want it because as one of the top tablet deals right now, we're not expecting stocks to last long.

Why you should buy the 2022 Apple iPad Air
The 2022 Apple iPad Air sits on top of our list of the best tablets, and it all begins with the powerful performance provided by Apple's M1 chip. This is the same processor in the 2020 Apple MacBook Air and the 2021 Apple iPad Pro, so there's nothing you can do that will slow down the tablet -- including multitasking between several apps and playing graphics-heavy video games. This speed, combined with Apple's iPadOS 16, makes the tablet a potential laptop replacement, especially if you also invest in the Magic Keyboard and the second-generation Apple Pencil as additional input options.

If you're looking at headphone deals for a new pair but you're not comfortable with going for true wireless headphones because you're afraid of losing them while running or during your commute, you may want to consider the Beats Flex. These wireless earbuds, which are connected to each other via a neck leash, are on sale from Walmart for a very affordable $49, following a $21 discount on their original price of $70. We're not sure how long the offer will last because stocks may run out at any time, so if you're interested, you're going to have to buy them right now.

They also offer a battery life of up to 12 hours on a single charge, so you can go the whole day without having to plug them in.
