When you're preparing a holiday meal, juggling multiple dishes at once is simply par for the course. Still, if you're whipping up several items that all have different cooking methods, it helps to have something other than your kitchen oven to do some of the heavy lifting. And that's where Instant Pot's new Precision Dutch Oven comes in handy.

The 5-in-1 multicooker can braise, slow cook and sear/sauté food, and it also doubles as a Dutch oven (for stovetop and in the oven) and a food warmer. The matching lid adds to its versatility and has a self-braising grid on the bottom to keep food moist. It's also made of heavy duty cast iron, so it's built to last, and the pot and lid are dishwasher-safe.

It's also pretty spacious and can cook up to six servings of food, which makes it perfect for holiday entertaining. The gadget is certainly an investment but when you consider just how much it can do, it's kind of like having a backup oven on hand. Now you can see why this newcomer is at the very top of our holiday wishlist!
