Last year, one of the most purchased items during Amazon Prime Day in the United States was an Instant Pot pressure cooker.

Members bought more than 215,000 of them.

Today, a similar deal is back. Amazon Prime Day 2017 is in full swing, and the Instant Pot DUO80 is reduced to $89.99. The regular price is $129.99. 

The Instant Pot Plus is also discounted today.

In 2016, Amazon Prime Day's orders rose 60 percent over the previous year worldwide. Amazon rolled out new discounts as often as every five minutes throughout the day.

The company said it sold more than 2 million toys, 1 million pairs of shoes and more than 200,000 headphones on the day in 2016.
