If you're looking for more versatility in your cooking, adding an Instant Pot to your arsenal of kitchen equipment might do the trick. And, luckily, right now through April 11, you can snag one at a great deal. The three-quart Instant Pot Duo Nova is currently on sale at Macy's for just $49.99, making the 50% off price the retailer's lowest of the spring season.

We think the three-quart-size Instant Pot is perfect for side dishes, desserts and meals for up to three people. Like its larger counterparts, this compact version of the Instant Pot is still super multi-functional — you can pressure cook, saute, steam, slow cook and warm and choose from smart programs including eggs, poultry, beans, rice, soup, yogurt and more.

This model is designed with Instant Pot's new progress indicator, so you can check the display screen to find out if your Instant Pot is coming to pressure or to see what stage the cooking cycle is in. Plus, a new easy-seal lid will keep flavors sealed inside until you're ready to serve.

Macy's shoppers are loving this Instant Pot, too. One writes that she uses it in addition to her six-quart model for side dishes or single-servings of meals. Another says it's the perfect size for cooking for two and still having some leftovers.

Whether you want to add another (smaller!) Instant Pot to your cookware collection, are ready to venture into the world of multi-functional cookers or need a Mother's Day gift, snag this less-than-$50 Instant Pot while it's still in stock.
