Save $36: As of July 12, the Instant Pot RIO Wide Plus is on sale for $143.99, which is 20% off its regular price of $179.99. This particular model of Instant Pot has never gone on sale before.


So you've decided to become an amateur chef, but then you realized there are not enough hours in the day to actually cook in addition to all your other responsibilities. Allow Instant Pot to help. This innovative kitchen appliance lets you plop ingredients into one big pile, push a few buttons, and let the magic happen. Even more magical is the fact that, during the current Prime Day sales event, Instant Brands is discounting an Instant Pot model that has literally never gone on sale before.

As of July 12, you can get the 7.5-Qt. Instant Pot RIO Wide Plus for $143.99 instead of its usual $179.99. If you don't believe that this is the first time there's been a markdown on the appliance, check for yourself on the price-tracking website camelcamelcamel.

The Instant Pot RIO Wide Plus is large enough to hold a five-pound chicken, nine-inch cake pans, or three racks of ribs (thanks a lot, Prime Day, now we're hungry). It includes 25 pre-set recipes for everything from rice to meat and veggies so that all of your cravings can be satisfied. With the WhisperQuiet steam release function (operating via a remote button), you don't have to worry about burning yourself or making a ton of noise in the kitchen. In addition, this Instant Pot's control panel has a clear display and cooking progress bar to take the guesswork out of your culinary preparations. Why labor over a sizzling pan when you can bask in the Instant Pot RIO Wide Plus' glory?

When you're done shopping the Instant Pot RIO, there are tons more discounts to be had. Just remember that Prime Day is set to end on July 12.
