The Instant Pot was one of the biggest stars to shine during Black Friday after topping the lists of sales at a variety of stores including Amazon, Target and Kohls. Although it’s a new sensation, the idea of a pressure cooker is not new. Modern versions, however, also double as a Crock-Pot and a rice cooker and are programmable. They also come with many safety features including self-regulating sensors. Some use Bluetooth.
