I’ll be the first to admit: cooking has never been my strong suit. I used to joke that my favorite kitchen gadget was my phone—because, let’s be honest, it’s so easy to hit the delivery button after a long day (love you, Chipotle). But as costs started to add up, I knew something had to change.
My mom—an accomplished home cook whose kitchen skills I inherited absolutely nothing—suggested that I invest in a multi-tool that would simplify my daily tasks and stop surviving on smoothies and microwave meals. The GreenPan Elite Multi-Pot is a sleek, tech-savvy gadget that not only makes cooking within reach, but also made me a Carmy wannabe (yes, a chef).

The game changer for me is not only This GreenPan multi-cooker has helped me overcome my fear of cooking meat and poultry (I’ve used it to make chicken twice – but please don’t applaud). What really gets me is its versatility and ease of use – it’s essentially a smart frying pan on steroids, with 12 modes and a steam basket. If you’re ready to seriously upgrade your home-cooked meals, you can take advantage of nearly $100 off now through October 20th.
First, let’s talk about why this multi-cooker is a true multi-purpose kitchen hero. There’s not just one way to use it, and it offers multiple cooking modes that make almost anything possible. You can sauté meat and vegetables, whip up homemade sauces, or simmer dishes. Need a quick, healthy meal? Use steam mode to cook vegetables perfectly. It also has settings for making rice or grains like quinoa and oats. If you’re a soup lover like me, there’s even a mode to make sure your ingredients don’t get overcooked. For restaurant-quality frying or sautéing, the multicooker can brown your meat like a pro.

Navigating settings is easy thanks to the intuitive control panel. There’s a dedicated button for frying/sautéing, a menu button to cycle through different cooking modes (or Freestyle with a manual option), time and temperature buttons for fine-tuning cooking, and, of course, a Start/ Stop button when you’re ready to go or need to pause.
The variety of meals you can cook is equally impressive. I usually stick to one-pot wonders like teriyaki chicken and vegetable stir-fries (hello, easy cleanup), and now that it’s cooled down outside, I’m also using it as a slow cooker for hearty chili and stews.
If you’re like me and don’t have any outdoor space, this multi-pot doubles as a pseudo-indoor grill. Even if I succumb to the old delivery methods (hey, old habits die hard), I’ll be using a multi-cooker to reheat takeout without the soggy or uneven temperatures of a microwave. This is basically the ultimate cooking tip. Plus, if you’re running out of ideas, the multicooker comes with a free recipe guide and practical, helpful tips.
In short, the GreenPan Elite Multi-Pot makes cooking within reach, even for takeout enthusiasts like me. With its versatility, ease of use, and ability to handle everything from quick stir-fries to slow-cooked meals, it has become the only kitchen tool I use—no sous chef required.
