Amazon Has 50% Off Instant Pots — for One Day Only

Amazon is running a one-day-only sale right now on Instant Pot Ultras and other top brand name kitchen goods as part of its "12 Days of Deals" event.

After the Amazon Black Friday deals, these deep discounts are a good opportunity to score a name-brand gift for a foodie friend or a relative who loves to cook (or, hey, for yourself!) The deals below are the best of Amazon's flash sale on kitchen items.

And Amazon's best deal of all today could be a 50% off sale on the souped-up Instant Pot Ultra. Not all Instant Pot models are on sale at Amazon. But the three-quart Instant Pot Ultra, regularly priced at $119.95, is seriously discounted right now: It's on sale today for only $59.95.

That is the same price Walmart is currently charging for the Instant Pot LUX Mini, a model with considerably fewer bells and whistles.

As another example of how good some of Amazon's deals are today, the Cuisinart eight-piece cookware set below is on sale for $99.99 — that's the same price point as this seven-piece set being sold right now at Macy's.

What's more, everything comes with free shipping from Amazon. If you're an Amazon Prime member, that's nothing special; two-day free shipping on most Amazon purchases is one of the perks of your subscription fee. But non-members get free standard shipping (five to eight business days), with no minimum purchase requirement, throughout the holiday shopping season from Amazon as well.
