This Multi-Cooker Crock-Pot Is Cheaper Than the Instant Pot Right Now

When you hear the name Crock-Pot, you probably picture the traditional slow cookers the brand has become synonymous with over the years. However, slow cookers aren't the only kitchen appliances you can buy from the well-known brand.

You can also stock your kitchen with the 6-Quart Express Crock Multi-Cooker from Crock-Pot, which can slow cook, pressure cook, brown, sauté, and steam food. The best part? It's currently on sale at Walmart for 55 percent off, bringing the price down to just $45. That's even cheaper than the similar Instant Pot Duo 6 Quart 7-in1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker.

The Crock-Pot device comes with eight one-touch digital meal settings to help you cook everything from stew to risotto to yogurt with the press of a button. You can opt to use the pressure cooker settings to whip up meals in a snap or slow cook food for hours. If you're not making a one-pot meal, you can also use the appliance to brown meats or even steam veggies.

The multi-use cooker comes with a recipe book, a serving spoon, and a removable steaming rack, and cleanup is a cinch thanks to the non-stick, dishwasher-safe pot. Not to mention, it features a sleek black stainless steel finish.

Walmart shoppers give the 6-quart multi-cooker 4.7 out of five stars overall and say it's versatile, easy to clean, and a great investment. And right now, you can invest in the compact-yet-powerful device for less than half its original price.

Curious to see if the device lives up to the hype? Buy one for yourself from Walmart while it's marked down. But you'll have to hurry: There's no telling how long this amazing deal will last.
