But perhaps a flash sale on Instant Pots from Walmart is enough to tide you over until the peak season for holiday deals is here: The [Instant Pot Gem](http://linksynergy.walmart.com/fs-bin/click?id=93xLBvPhAeE&subid=0&offerid=622731.1&type=10&tmpid=1082&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.walmart.com%252Fip%252FInstant-Pot-Gem-6-Qt-8-in-1-Programmable-Multicooker-with-Advanced-Microprocessor-Technology%252F866829685&u1=MYinstantpotgemflashsaleMW) is marked down from $79 to just $58, today through Wednesday only, at Walmart. It comes with two-day free shipping for all customers too. ![](https://img.money.com/2018/10/instant-pot-gem.jpeg) The biggest difference between the [Instant Pot Gem](https://www.facebook.com/instantpot/photos/gm.1831848933575753/1567223176658400/?type=3&theater) and other Instant Pot models like the [popular DUO series](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07588SJHN/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=money018f-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07588SJHN&linkId=7407a49a9fadd1fa6cb4ca6566c57fcc) is that this six-quart multicooker does *not* have a pressure-cooker function, a staple "ingredient" of other Instant Pots. If you've been hesitant to buy a pressure cooker because of the learning curve or worries about safety — two perennial deterrents for home cooks that Instant Pot has tried to address with its other models — the Gem is the countertop multicooker for you. Although an Instant Pot Gem recipe-sharing group on Facebook has nearly nearly 2,000 members, the Gem has taken a little longer to amass the kind of passionate fan base most other Instant Pot models have. This is likely due to some early manufacturing hiccups; back in February not long after the Gem debuted, Instant Pot had to [recall](https://www.facebook.com/instantpot/photos/gm.1831848933575753/1567223176658400/?type=3&theater) 104,000 units, a rare misstep for a company that's touted its founder's Silicon Valley roots and its "advanced microprocessor" technology. Although there were no reported injuries, [parent company Double Insight said](https://www.today.com/food/instant-pot-recalls-gem-65-8-1-multicookers-t124244) there were around 100 instances of the pot overheating and warping. Even without a pressure-cooking function, the Instant Pot Gem's eight-in-one functionality make it a valuable use of your kitchen counter space: You can use it for slow-cooking, roasting, stewing, baking, steaming, searing and rice-cooking. It also can keep food warm for up to 10 hours and has a delay-start function of up to 24 hours, so your chili or pot roast can be ready when you get home even if you have a long commute At $58, we'll proclaim this a legit steal for an Instant Pot. Although Walmart's [Instant Pot Gem flash sale](http://linksynergy.walmart.com/fs-bin/click?id=93xLBvPhAeE&subid=0&offerid=622731.1&type=10&tmpid=1082&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.walmart.com%252Fip%252FInstant-Pot-Gem-6-Qt-8-in-1-Programmable-Multicooker-with-Advanced-Microprocessor-Technology%252F866829685&u1=MYinstantpotgemflashsaleMW) technically goes until Wednesday, you might not want to wait: if we've learned anything about these cult-favorite appliances, it's that any announcement of a sale — especially a deep discount like this one — is quickly followed by a sellout. If you've been waiting to replace your old [slow cooker](https://money.com/best-slow-cooker/), right now is a good time to consider upgrading it with the [Instant Pot Gem](http://linksynergy.walmart.com/fs-bin/click?id=93xLBvPhAeE&subid=0&offerid=622731.1&type=10&tmpid=1082&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.walmart.com%252Fip%252FInstant-Pot-Gem-6-Qt-8-in-1-Programmable-Multicooker-with-Advanced-Microprocessor-Technology%252F866829685&u1=MYinstantpotgemflashsaleMW). *We’ve included affiliate links into this article.* [*Click here*](https://money.com/page/disclaimer/) *to learn what those are.* ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/instant-pot-flash-sale-walmart/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Shopping", "item": "https://money.com/shopping/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Small Appliances", "item": "https://money.com/small-appliances/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Flash Sale: Instant Pots Are Under $60 at Walmart Right Now" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/instant-pot-flash-sale-walmart/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/instant-pot-flash-sale-walmart/", "name": "Flash Sale: Instant Pots Are Under $60 at Walmart Right Now", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2018-10-29T14:04:19.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/instant-pot-flash-sale-walmart/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/instant-pot-flash-sale-walmart/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-04-02T05:06:22.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Flash Sale: Instant Pots Are Under $60 at Walmart Right Now", "articleSection": "Shopping", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2018/10/walmart-instant-pot-deal-903922820.jpg", "width": 3000, "height": 2000, "caption": "Walmart To Raise Its Minimum Raise To 11 Dollars An Hour" }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2018/10/instant-pot-gem.jpeg", "width": 800, "height": 560 } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Martha C.
