The best gadget gifts for 2017

The Instant Pot says it all in the name. The countertop device makes food, fast, in one pot. The surprise kitchen hit is a combination of pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker and even yogurt maker. It has sensors and settings to make cooking as foolproof as possible. Starting at $80, an Instant Pot can make dishes like chilli, stew, risotto or meat in less time than it typically takes to cook them. Invented by a dad tired of take-out, it's a thoughtful gift for anyone who wishes they had more time in the day.
