More importantly, whipping up crispy food has never been easier with this air fryer. Instead of oil, air fryers use hot air to crisp and brown foods. All air fryers contain a heating mechanism and fan that keeps the heated air circulating around the food. When we tested this in our Lab, everyone was very impressed with the results.
If you’re looking for a reliable air fryer that can also produce perfectly dried fruits and veggies, the Vortex Plus is for you. Just like the 4-in-1, the Vortex Plus has a roomy, 6-quart basket with a nonstick coating for easy cleanup. Equipped with pre-programmed settings and a temperature-controlling dial, the interface is also super user-friendly.
The air fryer also performed well crisping up frozen vegetables and homemade potato chips. As long as the food has some breathing room in the basket, you can expect golden, crisp and hot food very quickly from this air fryer. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to finding the best air fryer. But wherever you look, the Instant brand is likely among the top options. This year, the multicooker maker has a new and impressive addition to their line of Vortex air fryers.
Air fry juicy chicken wings and crispy fries, onion rings and more. Roast cauliflower bites, shrimp skewers, garlicky instant pot duo nova potatoes and chicken nuggets. Bake calzones or mini pizzas, fluffy cinnamon rolls and chewy brownie bites.
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.
