If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you might want to take the advice of the hundreds of thousands of people who got one last Prime Day and pick one up this year. Last year, Amazon reportedly sold 300,000 Instant Pots, making it the U.S.’s most popular Prime Day item in 2018.
Why such love for a kitchen gadget? It will definitely make weeknight dinners easier, as you can make tons of different foods, including everything from rice and eggs to dessert, entire meals and yes, even wine!
