TL;DR: The ultra-simple 6-quart Instant Pot Lux is on sale for $49 at Walmart, a savings of $30.


Today marks the first day of August (how?) and also kicks off NFL season with the first pre-season game.

Even if you don't care about ~sports~, you can at least appreciate football season for its tailgate food. It's never too early to start planning game day recipes, and an Instant Pot is the ultimate tailgate companion. The 6-quart Instant Pot Lux is on sale for just $49 today, which is $10 less than its Prime Day price a few weeks ago — and it has free next-day delivery.

There's nothing super fancy about what the Instant Pot Lux can do (I mean, other than replace six appliances) but that's perfect for beginners and serving casual snacks and appetizers. It's a pressure cooker, slow cooker, cake maker, rice cooker, steamer, warmer, and sauté pan. (Heads up: No yogurt maker here.) Instant Pots do all of that 2-10 times quicker than your average slow cooker.

A dozen built-in programs make new recipes easier by taking away some of the guesswork with time and temperature: bean/chili, meat/stew, soup/broth, sauté, poultry, steam, congee, multigrain, rice, pressure cook, warm, and slow cook. These are all laid out on the Lux's simple interface, along with buttons for a delayed start or keeping warm.

Regularly $79.95 (don't mind Walmart's inflated price of $99), you can save $30.95 and get the Lux60 for $49 and get it as early as tomorrow.
