This $100 appliance Is Taking Over Kitchens Everywhere

There is nothing more important for a cook than having a satisfactory kitchen appliance.

And if you're looking for one, then this is definitely for you.

The Instant Pot multitasking pressure cooker which is one of an exception has become a cult favorite among cooks.

The six-quart Instant Pot DUO60 7-in-1 Multi-Functional Pressure Cooker ($100) is not only Amazon's top seller in the Home & Kitchen category, it also has inspired customers to write the most reviews by far of any bestseller: At last check, there were nearly 18,000 reviews, 84% of which were five stars. For the sake of comparison, the highest-rated pressure cooker that's not an Instant Pot product is a Cuisinart six-quarter unit ($70) that's generated "only" about 1,300 reviews.

Instant Pot, which functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker and warmer, tends to draw the kinds of over-the-top reviews that seem plucked directly from infomercials.

"I seriously can't believe how many foods can be cooked in here!" one reviewer wrote.

"Love this!! I was scared to buy a pressure cooker but with all the functions on this it is a breeze to use," another said.

The word "love" comes up everywhere in the reviews.

The popularity of Instant Pot has gotten so big that it attracted the attention of old-media foodies, most of whom initially laughed off the possibility it could live up to the hype. 

Amazon sold an astounding 215,000 Instant Pots on on Amazon Prime Day last summer when they were marked down to $70. But Instant Pot's rise began long before then.
