If Thanksgiving teaches us one thing every year, it’s that cooking is a) hard, b) time-consuming, and c) annoying. A pressure cooker is a time-honored solution to all of those problems, and Instant Pot Duo Plus makes for a savvy Cyber Monday deal at 46% off on Amazon.

It can’t make a whole turkey, but it can do a whole lot more: it’s why Instant Pots have become near-ubiquitous over the years, appliance of choice for working parents. The 9-in-1 specifically wears a shocking amount of hats: pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker (yogurt maker), sterilizer, and food warmer. And it boasts a lot of “one touch” options at that, to make take-out as unreasonable a choice as possible.

The device makes for an easy clean up, too: its lid, pot, and accessories are all dishwasher-safe. It’s also especially perfect for those who are short on counter space (it’s a Russian nesting doll, containing a stainless-steel cooking pot with a tri-ply bottom and an “anti-spin design” that secures the pot, the company says).

The SPY team loves it too. Taylor Galla, SPY’s wellness editor, swears by the Instant Pot — so much so that she and her boyfriend use three (yes, three) between the two of them: “One [Instant Pot] was mine and two were my boyfriend’s,” she says. “When we moved in together, they became one big happy family. Sometimes we’ll cook our whole dinner in that little pod of Instant Pots.” There’s no shame if you do it, too.
