Insignia’s 6-quart pressure cooker is back on sale for $30

Still don’t own a pressure cooker? As of today, price is no longer an obstacle: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Best Buy once again has the Insignia 6-quart Multi-Function Pressure Cooker for just $29.99, which ties the lowest price I’ve ever seen for any cooker of this size. Shipping will run you $6 unless you opt for store pickup.

Alternately, add something to your cart that costs at least $5.01, which will bump you to the $35 minimum needed to bag free shipping. For example, this Casio calculator is $6.99.

Insignia’s cooker appears nearly identical to the equivalent Instant Pot. It offers 10 preset modes for things like rice, meat, soup and even cake. It features a delayed-start option, an automatic keep-warm function and a dishwasher-safe non-stick pot.
