One-Step Even-Crisp Technology allows you to achieve a crispy outside and tender inside. Whether you tumble-fry in the rotating basket or roast meat rotisserie style, instant vortex deliciousness is guaranteed. With little to no preheating time, you can whip up dinner in half the time of a conventional oven, without heating up the whole kitchen.
We own another popular brand of oven style air fryer and the racks suck, they always slip and the food falls off. The Vortex racks are built well and slide in-and-out securely without slipping. This is a HUGE winner and feature we looked for first. Using both racks, I was able to dehydrate nine apricots.
Let them soak for at least 30 min then drain them and pat them dry with paper towels. Soaking the potatoes in cold water makes them crispier! Place potatoes in a bowl and moosoo air fryer add cold water and 2 cups of ice cubes. Let them soak for at least 30 min then pat them dry with paper towels. I would still cook it for roughly the same amount of time.
I predict that the trays will be what I use most often in recipe development as I test through all of my homemade fried recipes. Ultimately, the Vortex isn’t the best air fryer we’ve tested. An instant vortex Mini Air Fryer has been released as a 2 quart mini version of their 4-in-1 air fryer. On the other hand, the racks and other extra utensils of the 10-quart fryer are easy to clean by soaking in hot soapy water. And the interior can be effortlessly wiped down with a damp cloth. With 10 quarts, or 320 ounces, or 9.5 liters capacity, this machine enables you to cook for more people.

She has reviewed dozens of air fryers and some of the best toaster ovens from her own home, and that includes the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Basket Air Fryer. This time we followed a recipe from the Instant app, which suggested a cooking duration of 15 minutes and a temperature of 204ºC / 400ºF, without any oil.
If you’re considering buying an air fryer, the Instant Vortex Plus has several features to recommend it. Its ClearCook window is the obvious selling point but the OdourErase technology means that your house never need smell of fried food again. Plus, its EvenCrisp system gives you brilliantly crispy results. Nor does the Instant manual give any approximate cooking times or temperatures, or provide any recipes.
While it’s not a perfect machine, it’s still really great for the price point. If you really aren’t happy with it and looking to upgrade, I can recommend the the Ninja Foodie flip up air fryer oven, but it’s twice the price. I just bought one during thanksgiving sale but i noticed that, when i use both trays, it does a good job on the top tray but the bottom tray is only half done. Is this because i am not using it right or is it a known issue or possibly a defective piece? Additionally, i see a lot of air escaping the sides of the door while air frying. Is that normal to lose that much air out of the sides of the door?
We want to start by saying that if this is the only air fryer you ever tried, we think you’ll love it, but after trying many others, this one didn’t stand up to the rest. Air fryers are available with different capacity baskets, and estimating how much food you’ll cook during each use will help you choose the best option. Are you a solo chef who wants a side of French fries with your meals?
