Unless you've been living under a rock like Patrick Star, you've probably heard of the small kitchen appliance known as the Instant Pot.
Nickelodeon
But in case you don't know what it is, I shall explain. Are ya ready kids?
The Instant Pot is a multi-cooker device that can steam, sauté, brown, warm, and you can use it as a rice cooker, slow cooker, and yogurt maker. It's the best and it's been reviewed all over the internet.

The Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker made of three parts: the lid, the removable cooking pot, and the housing unit. The cooking pot is made of three-ply stainless steel, which basically means whatever you're cooking is being evenly cooked at all times. There is a smart control box on the housing unit with programmable cooking options, and safety features to ensure the Instant Pot won't cook unless the lid is properly on.
The Instant Pot does it all, and it does it all faster (peas, corn, and broccoli can be steamed in 1 minute, whole potatoes in 10–12 minutes) than whatever ~other~ appliances you're using to make mashed potatoes, fried rice, stuffed peppers, soups, casseroles, and much much more!

So get your hands on an Instant Pot (if you don't have one already) and get cooking!
Promising review: "This is the most versatile kitchen appliance I have ever owned. It wasn't the plan, but now I use it every day. I set it up at night to have (quietly) cooked breakfast grains waiting for me when I awake. Then set it up to cook my dinner while I'm out. There are online recipes, blogs, user discussions, etc., that you can make use of. The rice setting cooks rice perfectly, and can be used to cook other grains such as millet, as well. I've owned other traditional pressure cookers with the hissy rockers and fussy seals, this is so much better than those. The Instant Pot should not be described using the same 'pressure cooker' term, it is a precious cooker." —ExceptionallyLongNickname
