Instant pot pressure cooker.
Want to use it as a crock pot? sure.
Want to saute things inside it first? sure.
Frozen meat or dried beans? Why not!

You throw in totally rock-solid frozen chicken breasts, some other stuff... 20 minutes later your taco meat is ready... in a slower cooker that'd take 4-6 hours.
If you clicked into the Amazon link above thinking the "5:20" means 5 minutes 20 seconds. Not the slow cooker 5 hours 20 minutes.
It's nothing short of magic how fast this thing works. Total game changer for people who want cook at home. 0 pre-planning required, just grab stuff out of the freezer when you're ready to eat.

Dried beans don't turn out exactly as hoped, but this imperfection doesn't stop me from using the instant pot for them.
