As it turns out, a lot of Instant Pots, streaming sticks, and smart home gadgets. We spend all year lab-testing products and searching for the best deals. But you're the ones actually spending your hard-earned money-which is why we compiled a list of the things you couldn't stop buying between Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2017. Nearly every item on the list was recommended by our editors. Most of you stuck with Amazon, but the Harry Josh hair dryer and All-Clad cookware sales were popular too-and they're still on sale for Cyber Monday. These are the things that you, our readers, couldn't get enough of on the busiest shopping days of 2017: 1. The Instant Pot and the Instant Pot Mini The Instant Pot was the breakout star of last year's Black Friday, and it's easy to see why: It can do just about anything with its 7-in-1 features including pressure cooker, slow cooker, steamer and more in its biggest size of 8 quarts. The 3-quart version still has the 7-in-1 functionality but at a smaller size. It's perfect for dinner for two, a side dish or taking food on the go. Both sizes are still on sale. If you're not sure which one to buy, we have a guide for which Instant Pot is best for you. Our readers also bought up the "Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker" cookbook, which has over 100 recipes for the multi-cooker along with tips and guidelines for each. It's not on sale, but it's a cheap companion to your new best friend in the kitchen.
