Start planning your recipes! Walmart slashes price of the Instant Pot Gem

By Jenifer Calle Updated October 29, 2018

If you haven’t invested in an Instant Pot yet, now is the perfect time to start your week with some great savings. A multi-cooker like the Instant Pot, combines an electric pressure cooker and slow cooker with other great cooking functions, all in just one machine. The electric pressure cooker minimizes the amount of time you spend in the kitchen by cooking your food faster, and it also reduces the number of kitchen appliances that you need to use and clean. It’s the ideal device to awaken your inner chef or to gift to your favorite foodie friend.

Walmart is slashing the price of the Instant Pot Gem 6 Qt 8-in-1 Programmable Multicooker with Advanced Microprocessor Technology, now discounted for just $58. The Instant Pot Gem is normally priced at $80. Be quick because this markdown will only be available until the end of October. This versatile kitchen appliance can slow cook, sear or sauté, cook rice, steam, stew, roast, bake, and warm, and is accompanied with a recipe booklet to help get you get started.

One of the biggest advantages of the Instant Pot is that it is designed to accommodate your busy schedule because it requires minimum effort. The easy-to-use gadget saves you time when cooking because it is faster than a slow cooker, and you don’t have to babysit your food once you’ve got it cooking. The Instant Pot Gem is safe enough to not burn your food, and automatically leaves it warm until it is ready to serve. Its built-in microprocessor feature monitors the temperature and timer to ensure consistent cooking results.

This model is also able to remember the most recently used settings per cooking program for a more personalized experience. The Gem multi-cooker is suitable for cooking chicken thighs, lentils, chickpeas, soups, stews, sweet potatoes, and so much more. Many of these dishes ordinarily require hours or multiple pots and pans but with the Instant Pot, they can be prepared in under one hour with just one machine. If you are in the market for affordable cookware that will save you time preparing your meals, then grab an Instant Pot now, and start planning your recipes.

Hurry — this LG 70-inch 4K TV just had its price slashed to $600

hisense h65 series lg un7070 samsung 7 4k tv deals best buy summer sale 2020 55 inch 2 720x720

LG is well-known for making some of the best TVs on the market, and it's no surprise that many other manufacturers use their panels. Of course, that does tend to mean that LG TVs can get expensive, especially if you're going for larger sizes like the 70-inch LG UQ75 4K TV. Luckily, a great deal from Best Buy right now is discounting this excellent 70-inch TV down to $600 from $630.

Why you should buy the 70-inch LG UQ75 4K TV
While the 70-inch LG UQ75 4K TV doesn't come with fancy panels like QLED or OLED, the panel is still absolutely gorgeous, especially for a 70-inch TV that's going for budget prices. With a sharp image and relatively great contrast, it's certainly an enjoyable experience. The TV also comes loaded with various types of HDR, such as HDR10, which is just a step below HDR10+ and HLG, the latter of which is a popular standard for sports broadcasters, which is a big plus if you love watching sports. Unfortunately, the base refresh rate of the TV is 60Hz, but that still should be enough for most consoles and mid-range gaming PCs, and there's also the benefit that the 70-inch size makes this perfect for split screen games, which we're a fan of.

Samsung just slashed the price of this massive 85-inch 4K TV

The Samsung 70-inch Class 7 Series 4K TV in a living room.

Even though Prime Day is over, that doesn't mean there aren't many great Samsung TV deals you can still take advantage of. For example, this massive 85-inch Samsung CU7000 4K TV, which usually goes for $1,300, but can be yours for just $1,200 today. Even though that's not a substantial discount, an 85-inch TV for a little over $1,000 is an impressive price coming from Samsung, which doesn't make many budget-oriented TVs.

Why you should buy the 85-inch Samsung CU7000 4K TV
While you might not find the most advanced panel tech on the CU7000, like OLED, it still uses a great panel that has a lot of the modern features you'd expect, such as HDR10+, which we were somewhat surprised to see at this price point on such a big screen. Of course, the whole thing plays in 4k, which might cause some screen door effect given the lower pixel density, but since it's 85 inches, you're not likely to be sitting very close to the TV anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, big TVs like this are great for playing split screen games, and while the TV's peak refresh rate is 60Hz, that's still perfectly fine for these types of games regardless of the console or gaming PC you're using.
