The Instant Pot changed how millions of people cook at home. The DUO60 is still the one we recommend — it does 7 jobs and does them well.

If you own a DSLR and want to look spectacular on video calls, the Cam Link 4K is how you do it. Plug in, select it as a webcam, done.

The CAP Barbell set is as basic as it gets and works exactly as expected. If you're just starting out and want to spend under $50, this does the job.

The Anker USB hub is one of those things you buy for $20 and use for 5 years. Fast, reliable, plug-and-play.

The AmazonBasics monitor stand does exactly what you need it to — lifts your screen, tilts, pans, and doesn't fall over. A sensible buy.
