Turns Out The Instant Pot Is More Popular Than Professional Hockey Teams

By now, everyone who has access to a kitchen should know about the Instant Pot. It was Amazon’s best selling product on Prime Day last June, and it was a hit on Cyber Weekend as well. Every time the Daily Dealer reports on an Instant Pot deal, our readers rush the gates to take advantage. And every time the deal ends, I get emails asking when it will be back.

Good news is that there are two different deals on Instant Pots right now. You can get both the acclaimed 7-in-1 multi-cooker and the classic (but updated) electric pressure cooker for $20 off:

Instant Pot, IP-LUX60 V3 Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker, 6-Quart, 1000W (updated model) on sale for $79.95

The Instant Pot has started to gain widespread attention. On Tuesday, the New York Times profiled the electric pressure cooker and delved into its popularity. This paragraph says it all:

You find the “L” word over and over in the 15,000 or so product reviews on Amazon. And if you click over to Instant Pot’s Facebook community page, you’ll find more than 360,000 members sharing their undying affection alongside their recipes for chili. (A typical post: “I’m having an affair. My husband said he wished he would have never given me the Instant Pot for Christmas.”)

When you have over 360,000 folks voluntarily join a Facebook group to talk about your product, you are doing something right. For reference, that’s 100,000 more Facebook fans than both the Nashville Predators and Carolina Hurricanes, NHL hockey teams that presumably have social media professionals in their employ.

The electric pressure cooker is the kitchen appliance of the new age. Instead of spending days preparing meals in your slow cooker, you can get it done in hours (or even minutes) in an Instant Pot. The New York Times explains such a situation in preparing a pork shoulder: “After a mere 90 minutes, the meat was spoon tender and deeply flavored, even before I covered the soft shreds with spicy barbecue sauce. The same recipe made in my slow cooker took seven hours, and the meat wasn’t quite as uniformly juicy.”

It’s efficient and the food tastes better to boot. If you haven’t hopped aboard the Instant Pot bandwagon yet, you need to.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
