Review: I still don’t have an oven 😂 - My wall oven died in 2023 and we weren’t going to spend the money to fix it. I needed something to cook with until we figured out what we were doing with the kitchen. Well, it’s 3 years later and I still don’t have an oven. 😂 I first bought the 4 quart and knew right away it was too small. I wanted to be able to cook more than one thing at a time. I returned it and got this 6 quart. Perfect. I use this thing every single day. I make meatloaf in it. Egg muffin bites. English muffins every morning. Pretty much anything I would have put in my oven goes in here now. I bought a small baking pan and muffin pan that fit inside too. Cleanup is really easy. I usually use liners, foil or a silicone liner and toss the disposable stuff when I’m done. It’s also so much faster than heating up a whole oven. That’s especially nice in the summer because our old house doesn’t have AC and the last thing I need is an oven heating up the kitchen. I’ve had it almost 3 years now and haven’t had a problem with it. It’s easy to use and the 6 quart is a great size for the two of us. I use it every single day and it was worth every penny. At this point I’m not even sure I need another oven.
Review: Definately worth it! - I'm single, so five years ago I grabbed the Instant Vortex 2-quart during a Prime Day sale. That little thing has been an absolute workhorse. I've made toast, salmon, baked potatoes, roasted vegetables, chicken...you name it. It still works great. The only downside? You can only cook one thing at a time. Now that the dog days of summer are here, I keep hearing my mom's voice in my head saying, "Don't heat up the kitchen!" I used to laugh...now I completely understand. Running the oven turns my kitchen and living room into a sauna, and then the air conditioner has to work overtime just to cool the house back down. So I decided it was time to retire my oven until September and upgrade to the 6-quart Vortex Plus. What a difference! The larger basket means I can finally cook a salmon fillet and asparagus at the same time instead of playing musical chairs with dinner. It's just as easy to use as my old one since the controls are very similar, and it's surprisingly quiet. I honestly thought the viewing window was a gimmick, but I was wrong. It's incredibly handy. Being able to peek in without pulling the basket out and letting all the heat escape is something I didn't realize I'd appreciate so much. If you're cooking for one or two people and wondering if it's worth upgrading from a smaller air fryer, I'd say yes. My little 2-quart is headed to my office to keep making lunches, and this 6-quart has officially taken over dinner duty at home. No regrets. My oven is about to enjoy a nice long summer vacation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it smoke**
A: It doesn’t smoke.  I put a piece of bread on the tray when I baked the bacon in it the first time because I read that it would.  (I cooked 20 oz of bacon by cutting the pieces in half and putting them in the rotisserie basket.  1/4 of the bacon at a time.). The second time I air fried it and didn’t put bread and it didn’t smoke.

**Q: How many watts is this one**
A: Good day! The Vortex Plus draws 1500 Watts. Hope that helps!

**Q: Can you toast in this airfryer?**
A: I have the Vortex 7 in 1 which does not have a toast program. However, I make toast in it. The programs are just convenient ways to choose the best combinations of temperature and time for specific uses, but I hardly ever rely on those times. To toast bread, you need to watch the time very carefully, and turn the bread over since the underside will not get browned otherwise. The toasted cheese sandwiches made in the Air Fryer are favorites in our family. I spray the bread on one side with a little olive oil, (you could use butter) sometimes put some mayonnaise or other dressing on the other side, and put the cheese and anything else I want, like thin tomato slices between two slices of bread. I put it in, choose Air Fryer, change the time to 2 minutes and turn on the light to watch. One side will usually be toasted enough while the oven is pre-heating. Then I turn over, and watch to make sure it doesn't brown too much on the second side. These are incredibly crunchy toasted cheese sandwiches. If you get the time down right, they come out a pretty golden brown color.

**Q: How do I utilize the dehydrate function and what is the best food to use?**
A: I use the dehydrator function a lot for vegetables. Go by dehydrating recipes found online/cookbooks etc. I have noticed though since this is an air fryer- the air circulates more, and so it often takes about 80-90% of a normal dehydrator’s recommended time; just make sure to space everything out and check it often! I typically use the lowest two racks and when I flip the food I also flip which tray is on top; the ones on top always dry quicker. 

For best foods I’ve noticed chili, vegetables, and pasta were the best to cook and dehydrate, although you can make whatever you want to that you could in a normal dehydrator! (I use these examples specifically for hiking/making shelf stable meals to quickly heat up if I’m too lazy to cook one night)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Why didnt I buy one of these things sooner??
*by R***T on December 20, 2021*

I have had this for about ten days now and made five items. I dont usually leave reviews but thought I would for this air fryer. Its pretty great as far as I am concerned. Pro and Cons. Let me start with the cons. CONS 1. Complaints about plastic smell. Not really a con for me but I see others complaining so I will mention it. I had no problem. I ran the machine through several air fry cycles (400 degrees for 15 minutes) before I cooked any food and noticed the oft complained about plastic smell the first time. It then decreased each time I ran it through another cycle until I could barely notice it. Some reviews say to remove the silicon food grade tabs on the grate insert but note that the grate will then easily fall out when you try to empty the pan by tipping it over. It might eventually fall out with the tabs in place but I used a tongs to prevent the grate from falling out any time I tipped the pan over to empty it. 2. My big complaint is the instructions. They are sparse. It took me awhile to realize I can pull out the pan anytime I want to flip my food and the machine will simply start where it left off when the pan is replaced. If you already flipped your food you can just leave the machine be for the ten seconds it tells you to flip your food and resumes air frying. My learning consisted of trial and error (still doing that learning cook times and when to flip the food) and looking at air fryer demonstration videos and recipes online. The intstant website appears to have no recipes for the air fryer and the recipe page only has recipes for their insta pot. PROS The food!! From left to right I first did french fries then chicken thighs, steak, fish and grilled ham and cheese. FRENCH FRIES - Came out crispy and delicious. The picture is actually my second batch. The first batch went in, then I realized the machine was preheating. I just left the fries in. The machine then went to its 15 minute standard time at 400 degrees. The fries were OK but some were overcooked probably due to going in during the preheat cycle. The second batch went in after the machine preheated and used 12 minutes (after I learned how to adjust the time). This batch was much much improved. I used store bought frozen fries which seem to work really well. For fresh potatoes I learned I had to soak the fries first in water to get rid of some of the starch and dry them with paper towels otherwise the fries didnt turn out as crispy as the store bought frozen fries. My only slight complaint is the cooking grate would eventually fall out when I tipped the pan over to empty the fries onto a plate. I learned to hold the grate with tongs to keep it from falling out. Chicken - I love fried chicken so this was the real test. I made four bone in thighs. Two were egg wash and then panko bread crumbs (on the left of the picture) and two (on the right of the picture) were eggwash and seasoned flour. All four thighs were sprayed with cooking oil (PAM). I learned this is a must to get a good fry. As you can see some of the panko came off during the cook from the fan. The panko also tended to burn. Many recipes use panko so the food gets crispy but for me it was just OK. On the other hand the chicken with the eggwash and then flour was GREAT. Crispy, juicy, as good as when I deep fry with oil. STEAK - This is my go to method of making a steak when its too cold outside to grill. It took me awhile to get the time down but the steak turned out really good. I used the broil cycle at 380 degrees. I used an instant read thermometer to get a perfect medium-medium well of 140 inside. I first had the steak on 17 minutes (flipped half way) but it the internal temp was only 120. I then did another 5 minutes. The steak was juicy and perfectly cooked for me. FISH - This was my one "Its OK" dish that I have work on. I did cod loins at 400 degrees air fry for 8 minutes (flipping half way). I used eggwash and seasoned flour with a spray of cooking oil. The coating wasnt as crispy when I deep fried with oil. Next time I will try increasing the time to see if that improves it. I didnt want to overcook the fish which it wasnt. GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE - This was the last item prepared. It was probably one of the best grilled sandwiches I have had in a long time. Crispy on the outside with hot gooey cheese and ham on the inside. My go to way to make a grilled cheese from now on. I buttered the outside of the bread and put the machine 6 minutes on air fry at 400 flipping halfway. Like the french fries, the picture was my second sandwich. The first I had at 8 minutes and that was too long, the sandwich was overcooked. But when I got the time down it made a GREAT grilled ham and cheese. Easy to clean. I just washed the grate in warm soapy water and wiped the pan out with a paper towel after each use. So that its. I hope this helps other people looking at this machine or other air fryers. I am happy with mine so far. Its just a matter of trial and error until you learn the temps and cooking times that work for you.
