This discounted Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker is a great Instant Pot alternative

Cooking with a pressure cooker is one of the best ways to quickly prepare delicious meals that would normally take longer and require multiple pots and pans — which is why the Instant Pot became instantly popular. It’s easy to see why there’s such hype centered around the kitchen device. Even best-selling cooking author Chrissy Tiegen tweeted that she might have converted into a slow cooker herself — and we can’t blame her. If you’ve been wanting to start experimenting with your own meals, Amazon is discounting the Ninja Instant Cooker and the Ninja Foodi.

While the Instant Pot is usually the first thing that comes to mind when you hear about programmable pressure cookers, these Ninja products prove that it’s not the only name in town. Ninja makes some of the best Instant Pot alternatives on the market right now. So if you’re thinking about picking up an all-in-one multicooker, these deals make it a great time to do so.

Ninja Instant Cooker — $70

Amazon is discounting the Ninja Instant Cooker by 30 percent. The Ninja Instant Cooker is a 1000-watt pressure cooker, slow cooker, multicooker, and steamer all-in-one. It’s medium size of 6 quarts  means it can feed you and two or three other people. The ceramic-coated pot also comes with a steam rack, and both are dishwasher safe. The Ninja Instant Cooker can cook 70 percent faster than traditional methods involving pots and stoves because of its high wattage power. With the Ninja Instant Cooker, you can make rice, vegetables, meats, stews, and even bake cakes. You can use the digital programmable control panel to start cooking. Best of all, you don’t have to keep babysitting your food because of it’s 11 levels of safety features. Just put the food in and let it cook on its own.

Ninja Foodi — $210

The Ninja Foodi is a pressure cooker, steamer, and air fryer all-in-one. It has 1400-watt power to cook all your favorite meals. Pressure cookers are great for making all sorts of meats and veggies, but when you want to add that extra crisp on your chicken or your cauliflower, you’re going to want to use the air fryer feature. Best of all, the air fryer makes eating healthier so much easier. Cook fried rice, french fries, fried chicken and more with the same tenderness and crisp but without all the excess oil. We actually liked this product enough to give it a solid 8 out of 10 in our review.

The best Instant Pot and Ninja Foodi Cyber Monday deals end tonight

One of the obvious benefits of Cyber Monday deals shopping is that you can finally get the small kitchen appliance you've had your heart set on for a discounted price -- just in time to dazzle friends, family, or co-workers at the upcoming holiday potluck. Or, even better, buy one as a gift for a friend or family member. Which is why you don't want to miss out on this fantastic deal before it's gone.

The must-have multicookers for this year are the Instant Pot (as has been the case for the last couple years) and Ninja Foodi. While you really can't go wrong with either brand, both now have many products and configurations of their multicookers to choose from, making it even harder to decide which one is right for you. If price is a factor — as it is for most people — then you may want to consider one of these two options: The 8-quart Instant Pot Duo 80 7-in-1 multicooker
is $75 off, and 8-quart Ninja Foodi (OP401) TenderCrisp multicooker
is $110 off.

The Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven is on sale for $153 at Amazon for Black Friday
Ninja Air Fry Oven

With Black Friday deals in full swing, it can be overwhelming trying to determine which deals are right for you. For me, however, we've had our sights set on the Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fryer Oven and bookmarked multiple merchants ahead of the shopping event to pin them against each other and make a purchasing decision based on who has the best deal, but things took an interesting turn of events when all the merchants that had it on sale began to sell out including Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Walmart (check out more Walmart Black Friday deals here). That is until now. Amazon has just made the 8-in-1 toaster oven-air fryer multi cooker available for purchase again for $153 -- a $97 discount off the retail price of $250 listed on Amazon.

Though it isn't in stock until December 13, Amazon is allowing customers to purchase the Ninja Foodi at the promo price, and they'll ship it once they restock. Obviously, we wasted no time and hit the buy now button immediately.
