Amazon takes 31% off of the Instant Pot Sous Vide for Prime Day 2019

Image used with permission by copyright holder

Sous vide (French for “under vacuum”) has changed the way we cook delicious food, for the better. If you love cooking and haven’t tried this method yet, now is the best time to get one. The

Instant Pot Accu Slim Sous Vide Immersion Circulator is currently on sale

for only $55 from its original price of $80. That’s a $25 discount you will get today on Amazon Prime Day.

Cooking in the sous vide style requires putting dishes in vacuum-sealed plastic pouches submerged in hot water. The sous vide machine then retains the water temperature at the well-defined level. The results of this preparation are evenly cooked food with all juices, vitamins, and minerals retained. Sous vide enthusiasts claim food cooked this way are more tender, healthier, and tastes better compared to other techniques.

The Instant Pot Accu Slim looks like a gear shift lever that has a control panel display, a rubber-coated frame, a pot retaining clamp, a removable warming element cover, and water flow holes at the bottom.

While most sous vide manufacturers including Instant Pot rarely display the water heaters with cords attached, they are not wireless. The Accu Slim has a 12-volt 60Hz internal power supply that plugs into a standard outlet. Its 12V DC motor is quieter compared to other standard AC motors used.

The Instant Pot Sous Vide cooks with precision. You can set the temperature with increments from 68 degrees to 203 degrees Fahrenheit with an adjustable cooking time between 10 minutes and 72 hours. Accu Slim Sous Vide creates and maintains an even and accurately controlled water bath for perfect cooking results.

Though the Accu Slim control panel can set the desired water temperature and cooking time, it’s still important to check the water level while cooking sous vide, especially for long time periods. If the water level falls below the minimum level marker, it’s necessary to add more water.

Usually priced at $80,

the Instant Pot Accu Slim Sous Vide Immersion Circulator is on sale for only $55

during Prime Day. Don’t waste this great opportunity and get yours now with an awesome $25 discount.

Amazon Prime Day 2024: Amazon confirms the shopping holiday for July
Prime Day graphic with multiple products.

Amazon has confirmed another Prime Day for July 2024. Exact dates for Prime Day 2024 have not been announced yet. This year marks the tenth anniversary of Amazon's massive shopping holiday.

After ten years of Prime Day, this confirmation might seem a little obvious, like confirming that Halloween will happen again this year. But the dates for Prime Day shift slightly every year, and sometimes Amazon announces a second Prime Day in the fall. Some recent Prime Days have taken place in late June, so this announcement confirms a later-than-usual date. It's likely that we won't know the exact Prime Day 2024 date until a few weeks before it starts, perhaps in mid June.

Amazon Prime Video free trial: Stream for a month for free
The Amazon Prime Video app icon on Roku.

If you've ever shopped on Amazon -- and these days, who hasn't? -- then you've likely heard about the option for an Amazon Prime membership. This subscription is mostly touted as a way to save on shipping costs when purchasing from Amazon, but it also comes bundled with some other handy features including access to Amazon's streaming service, Amazon Prime Video. You'll find a range of movies and shows to watch, but if you're not sure whether you need yet another streaming service, there is an option for a free trial to see if you like the service before paying for it.
Is there an Amazon Prime Video free trial?
There is indeed an Amazon Prime Video free trial, but it's tied into the Prime free trial, which lasts for a month and may or may not be available to you. To see if you're eligible, you'll need to and check. The general rule is that the Prime free trial (and by extension, an Amazon Prime Video free trial) is available to Amazon accounts that have either never signed up for a Prime trial or have not had Prime -- either a trial or paid membership -- any time in the last 12 months.

The Prime free trial is usually for 30 days, similar to the Hulu free trial. If you're not eligible for the Amazon Prime Video free trial, though, then be patient: Sometimes, Amazon will sometimes offer free trials to its loyal customers, so if you have an Amazon account (but not a Prime membership) and shop on the site regularly, you might find a Prime trial offer sitting in your inbox one day. Often, though, these are shorter seven- or 14-day trials rather than the 30-day trial. Nonetheless, it's obvious that Amazon is a bit more generous with these trial periods than other services -- there's no Disney+ free trial or Netflix free trial, for example, but it's thankfully much easier to get an Amazon Prime Video free trial.
