This story is part of Select's New & Notable column, where we highlight our favorite product launches, major sales, what we're buying and some of our latest recommendations and advice.

This week, we’ve got five new products from several Select reader-favorite brands spanning apparel, kitchen essentials and tech.

1. Instant, the brand behind the Select-favorite Instant Pot pressure cooker, launched the Instant Cold Brewer, a new cold brew coffee maker, and the Instant Indoor Grill and Air Fryer. Instant says you can brew up to 32-ounces of cold brew in approximately 20 minutes and that you can serve and store your cold brew in the dishwasher-safe glass pitcher. The Indoor Grill and Air Fryer offers four other functions: baking, broiling, roasting and dehydrating. The brand says the air fryer achieves the crispiness of deep-frying with 95% less oil, and comes with a dishwasher-safe detachable grill plate.
2. Apple announced that the new iPad Pro is now available for pre-order and will arrive in stores on Oct. 26. The iPad Pro is powered by the new M2 chip and offers iOS 16, ProRes video capture and an improved Apple Pencil experience (Apple Pencil sold separately), according to Apple.
3. Great Jones, a Select-favorite cookware brand, has launched the Great Jones Full Steam Duo, which is a 4-in-1 colander, steamer, splatter guard and trivet. The brand says it’s made with food-grade silicone and is dishwasher-safe. Both the large and small-sized options of the Full Steam Duo are designed to work with other Great Jones cookware, says the brand, but can fit other pots and pans, too.
4. Select-favorite shoe brand Rothy’s launched The Monty, a casual, sneaker-like wool dress shoe for men. The brand says the flexible upper knit means there’s no break-in period, and the contoured footbed offers a supportive structure. The shoes are fully machine washable, and the brand says creating these shoes with their signature sustainably made thread that includes material from recycled water bottles.

My mom bought me these reusable silicone bags (similar to Stasher bags) at Costco and I love them. They’re perfect to toss any of my work snacks in, or treats for my dog to have at doggy daycare. Plus, they’re easy to hand-wash clean and are dishwasher safe and BPA-free.— Sadhana Daruvuri, social media editor

I bought these Universal Thread Katrina Platform boots from Target. The boots, which have a memory foam insole, tend to sell out quickly, but typically come back in stock every few weeks. I walked several city blocks in them for the first time the other day, and I couldn't believe how comfortable they were. — Zoe Malin, associate updates editor

I finally bought this turtleneck long sleeved cropped brami (bra camisole) from Klassy Network, after eyeing them for several months on their highly effective Instagram ads (and getting a recommendation from Select associate updates editor, Zoe Malin). The material is super soft and the turtleneck’s built-in bra is supportive without being too compressive. It’s a perfect piece for fall and also my Kim Possible Halloween costume.— Gabriella DePinho, production coordinator
