If you’ve been bookmarking multi-cooker recipes and waiting for the day that you can finally fit the appliance in your kitchen, I have good news: Instant Pot just dropped its brand-new Mini Collection. The iconic brand is best known for its ingenious original Instant Pot Multi-Cooker, and now you can add the colorful miniature versions to your cooking lineup — even if you’re tight on storage or have limited counter space.
The mini air fryer is available in black, pink, and off-white. It’s obviously cute, but it’s also incredibly handy given its six different cooking functions. Not only does it air fry, but it also bakes, roasts, broils, dehydrates, and reheats — all without any preheating time required. Its large front window allows you to track your food’s progress, and the fryer basket is dishwasher-safe. Despite its small size, it’s big enough to prepare up to four quarts, which is about four servings.
The newest Instant Pot model, the mini multi-cooker, also has a 4-quart capacity, and it comes in five gorgeous colors: black, light pink, off-white, a deep blue, and dark gray. It combines seven cooking functions into one compact appliance to give you the flexibility of slow cooking, pressure cooking, sautéing, steaming, and warming — plus, it serves as a rice cooker and yogurt maker.
It has a status light that lets you know how far along your meal is in the cooking process, and the lid and pot are dishwasher-safe, so cleanup is easy-peasy. If you’ve been thinking about getting a pressure cooker, here’s your chance to save big — on cash and space.
And then there’s the mini air fryer toaster oven, which can hold up to four slices of toast and combines toasting, air frying, baking, roasting, and broiling features into one astoundingly small device (that currently only comes in black). If you’re short on counter space, this nifty appliance can replace your air fryer and your toaster oven with a much smaller footprint than either (standard-sized) machine.
Who says limited space means limited style? Certainly not Instant Pot. These mini appliances are so chic that they almost double as decor — and if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to display them on your countertop instead of hiding them away. The best part? Their prices are mini, too — they start at just $54.99. Add your favorite to your cart for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, or swing by Target or Walmart to check them out IRL.
