Last Chance to Order an Instant Pot for Delivery Before Christmas

If you don’t really know what an Instant Pot is despite having heard about them from time to time, let’s break it down for you like this: you know what a slow cooker is, right? And a sauté pan? And you’re familiar with rice cookers? How about a food steamer? Great, you’re more than halfway home, because that is four out of the seven kitchen tools that this one countertop appliance can replace.

True to its name, the Buy at Amazon has seven different distinct functions. And it can be used to cook dozens of different foods to perfection, from soups to roasts to rice to potatoes to yogurt and so much more. Also, more often than not said cooking involves nothing more than the push of a couple of buttons: This digital device has clearly indicated controls and a large LCD screen, and really the only guesswork involved is thinking of a meal the kids will actually like.

Beyond the many functions and myriad meals this 6-quart Instant Pot can cook up quickly and easily, there are some other numbers we should be discussing. First, there is the number of days left before Christmas, which is not a large number. But if you order this thing ASAP (meaning now — if you’re reading this, then doing so is entirely within the realm of possibility, after all) it will be delivered before Christmas, meaning you can still give a great gift or make your own holiday dinner prep a bit easier.

Second, there’s the number 40, which is how many dollars you’ll save if you order the Instant Pot Duo Nova 7 in 1 Pressure Cooker right now. Usually priced at $100, it is currently on sale for $60. But that won’t last, nor will this little window of time you have left before Christmas arrives.

Oh, and two more numbers to talk about in case you still aren’t sold here. The first is the number 4.7, which is how many stars out of five this device has on Amazon. The second is 145,700-plus, which is how many ratings it has at present! Act fast and you can make this part of someone’s new kitchen gift this holiday season.

Imperial stouts available everywhere that are perfect for fall
Sierra Nevada

I get it, you’re not happy that summer and its seemingly endless, sun-drenched days filled with light, crisp, refreshing beer are over. Even begrudgingly, you’ve likely already moved onto fall beer with Oktoberfest, Vienna lagers, pumpkin ales, and maltier, dark brews. But even though you’re not ready to put your board shorts and flip-flops away until next summer, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting chillier. It’s almost imperial stout season.

As a beer drinker, I also struggle to move on from the lighter, crushable beers of summer and early fall. But I love a well-made imperial stout. This full-bodied, rich, high-alcohol brew is the perfect complement to the colder months ahead. In fact, there’s no beer style I’d rather drink while I sit beside a fall campfire.

a cocktail at Bar Leone in Hong Kong

The annual list of the World’s 50 Best Bars was just unveiled at a live awards ceremony in Milan. Hong Kong’s Bar Leone retains the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive year. The bar, founded by Italian bartender Lorenzo Antinori in 2023, draws inspiration from Rome’s neighborhood bars, focusing on classic cocktails, Italian influences and approachable hospitality.

Moebius Milano took the No. 2 spot, followed by Alquímico in Cartagena, Bangkok’s Bar Us, and Athens’ Line at No. 5. Mexico City’s Handshake Speakeasy, a former top-ranked bar, placed sixth this year and earned Best Bar in North America honors.

Tired of messy meal prep? Ninja just released the ultimate space-saver
Ninja Prepi

SharkNinja is back with another innovative kitchen launch — the Ninja PREPi. This is a first-of-its-kind system that can prep, store, and serve, all in one compact device. The Ninja PREPi, your shortcut to eating fresh: chef-level prep precision with no skills required, compact and portable design, easily stackable storage – eating the way you want has never been so easy. From dicing to chopping, slicing, and puréeing, its a product that is designed to help make meal prep even easier (and give you back time in the kitchen). I’m pretty excited about this launch, as it seems like one of those products we didn’t know we needed (but soon won’t be able to live without).

“Even a simple meal can feel like a project once you factor in the prep and the cleanup,” said D-J Hageman, VP of Marketing at Ninja. “It can mean knives for chopping, multiple cutting boards, serving bowls, and containers for leftovers. We created Ninja PREPi™ to bring those steps together to make cooking easier for home chefs, with a fresh take on a category that isn’t typically the target of kitchen innovation.”
