Instant Vortex® Plus 10-quart Air Fryer Oven

The Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer with ClearCook & OdourErase is a simple-to-use kitchen appliance that does an excellent job of crisping food such as fries and chicken wings using far less oil than deep frying. It’s versatile, too, offering functions to bake, roast, grill, reheat and dehydrate as well as air fry. It comes with a window and light that allow you to keep an eye on food as it’s cooking, while built-in filters reduce the smells emitted during the cooking process. This air fryer is more expensive than the previous iteration and requires some experimentation, especially when cooking frozen foods; but it’s the best air fryer on the market right now. As you’d expect, the Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer with ClearCook & OdourErase circulates hot air around food to cook it, creating a crisp, crunchy finish. Instant claims food cooked in its air fryers require 95% less oil than deep frying.

With rotisserie feature for perfect self-basting dishes, this spit will be a hit.

However, this model is the first from Instant to feature OdourErase technology, which uses built-in filters in the air fryer to noticeably reduce the smells emitted during cooking. Instead, you’ll need to go online or use the Instant app for your smartphone or tablet for inspiration. There are also no cooking charts or guides, which means that some experimentation with regards to the ideal cooking temperature and time will be necessary. This is especially true when cooking frozen foods, to ensure you can cook them to your liking.

Just like its predecessor, the instant vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer with ClearCook & OdourErase did an excellent job of evenly browning fries and chicken wings. However, with no cooking charts or guidance included, using it will require a degree of experimentation. The Instant™Vortex® Plus is sleek, versatile, and convenient, with rotisserie and One-Step EvenCrisp™ air flow for a perfect golden finish and crispy, tender results every time. Make all your favorite finger foods with less oil and no mess and get food on the table faster.

It’s annoying, and makes this air fryer unsuitable for those who prefer to tip the basket, rather than use tongs, to remove food after cooking. Since the capacity of the latest Vortex Plus is 5.7 litres / 6 quarts, we plumped for our usual 450g / 1lb batch of steak-cut fries, rather than reducing it as we did to account for the smaller frying basket of the dual-drawer model. We selected the Air Fry cooking mode but raised the default temperature from 196ºC / 385ºF to 204ºC / 400ºF, setting the cooking duration to 15 minutes. The results were crisp and evenly browned fries on the outside, with soft and fluffy potato on the inside.

We get that this is a minor gripe, but this is one of the few air fryers we’ve found where the crisper plate falls out if the basket is tipped up.

At its maximum temperature, the air fryer can cook for up to one hour. It’s also possible to adjust the cooking temperature in one-degree increments, compared to the three-degree increments offered by the Instant Vortex Plus. Instant has only been on the air fryer scene for a few years, launching its first hot-air cooking appliance in 2019, having gained cult status with its multi-cooker, the Instant Pot. However, in that short time, the brand has proven itself to offer some of the best air fryers you can buy right now. We followed a recipe from the Instant app, coating the potato batons in 2tsp of oil before air-frying them for 20 minutes at a temperature of 191ºC / 376ºF.
