Prime Day is back, baby (is anyone surprised?) and so too are the Prime Day Instant Pot deals. While Amazon’s pre-holiday sale doesn’t officially happen until October 10 and 11, it’s not too early to snag a discount on everyone’s favorite countertop cooker, the Instant Pot.
This year’s fall sale is called Prime Big Deals Days, but to be honest, we keep forgetting what order those words are supposed to go in and it’s easier to just call it what it really is: Amazon Prime Day 2023, Round 2.
Whatever you want to call it, this two-day sales event is the universe telling early Instant Pot adopters to upgrade their low-tech pressure cookers to something with more presets, and perhaps even Wi-fi connectivity or an air fryer lid. Or maybe you never hopped on the bandwagon in the first place, in which case now’s your time. For the uninitiated, an Instant Pot is essentially a magical multi-cooker capable of doing everything from braising short ribs to cooking soups and beans in record time. Even the most basic models boast seven different functionalities, combining the capabilities of a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, sauté pan, yogurt maker, steamer, and food warmer.
But the thing is, Instant doesn’t just make Instant Pots nowadays. The brand also makes some of our favorite air fryers, so if you haven’t yet hopped on that bandwagon, Prime Day 2 is a great time to do so at a discount. And if you simply need a few new accessories for the old Instant Pot you will use until it dies thank you very much, those are always included in Amazon Prime Day sales, too. We’re also intrigued by some of the Instant coffee gear, which has so far impressed our friends at Epicurious.
If you don’t want to wait until October 10 to take advantage of those markdowns, you don’t have to—everything mentioned above is already on sale (at the time of publication, anyway). But if Prime Day deals of yore are any indication, we’ll see more and bigger discounts on Instant Pots and other gear from Instant Brands as the sale approaches. These are likely to be the biggest discounts we’ll see until Black Friday, so make sure to take full advantage.
Here’s the thing about those really big discounts though: During Amazon’s big sales events, the very best deals are exclusive to Prime Members. If you’re not already an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial at any time (even the day the sale starts). We expect to see other major retailers offer competing deals as well, and we’ll share those with you too.
For now, read on for all the best Prime Day Instant Pot deals you can shop ahead of Amazon’s October 2023 Prime Big Deals Days.
Instant Pot Prime Day deals
Instant Pots now come in a wide range of models, all with varying degrees of high-tech functionality. We have yet to see many of them go on sale, but right now you can shop the Instant Pot Duo Crisp for 15% off. Not only can this multi-use gadget perform all the functions you’d expect from your typical Instant Pot (like slow cooking and pressure cooking), but it can air fry, too, making it a great option for people looking to condense their appliance collection. If air frying isn’t your thing, the Instant Pot Pro is currently discounted as well, and we found a deal on the Instant Pot Duo Plus over at Best Buy. We’ll be keeping an eye out for deals on other favorite Instant Pot models, so make sure to check back here in the lead up to Prime Day to stay up to date on all the latest discounts.
