About this deal

The other major upgrade over the previous version is the OdourErase technology, which uses built-in air filters to reduce cooking smells wafting through your home – compared to other models on the market, we could certainly detect a clear reduction in cooking smells when using the Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer with ClearCook & OdourErase.

When it came to homemade fries, we were just as impressed. 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. Once the cooking time had passed, we had crunchy, evenly browned fries that were soft and fluffy inside. Other foods that are game changers in this thing are french fries, corn dogs, fresh veggies for broiling, and most fried finger foods. The air fryer has a total capacity of 5.7 litres / 6 quarts, and comes with a dishwasher-safe frying basket and crisper plate. The front of the basket features a built-in plastic window, which, along with a light in the cooking cavity, ensures you can see how cooking is progressing.

Instant’s Vortex Plus is a bright and beautiful air fryer that makes cooking everything from chips to breakfast a breeze

A recent independent study has revealed that cooking with an air fryer used up to 80% less less energy required than in the oven, saving energy and costs. Whether cooking from fresh or frozen, EvenCrisp technology ensures the crunch and tenderness of deep-frying without all the oil and calories. Smart dial control and digital pre-set buttons to easily adjust time and temperature and cooking progress message bar display cooking status from preheating to cooking and the Message bar guides you through cooking with ‘add food’ prompts and ‘turn food’ reminders for perfect, even results. Although the Support Team is very Prompt and they called me up a day prior to the delivery and shared the Initial Demo Videos and Customer Support Numbers. There's only one answer to this question: absolutely yes. I test air fryers for a living, and I've had a fair few in my home by this point, but this is the one that has stood the test of time. It's so easy to use, looks great and crisps up everything you put in like a dream.

Just like the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Drawer Air Fryer, the Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer with ClearCook & OdourErase doesn’t include any cooking charts or guides in the box. While the Instant app is loaded with recipes for homemade dishes, there’s no advice for temperature and cooking times for frozen foods. So we used our experience with the Dual Drawer Air fryer as the basis for cooking frozen steak-cut fries. The Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer offers a cooking temperature range from 35ºC / 95ºF to 205ºC / 400ºF for up to 72 hours at a time – although the latter is at lower temperatures. 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.Your Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer with ClearCook and OdourErase 5.7L has a built-in OdourErase filter that helps remove cooking odours. It comes out perfect every time, and shaves at least 5 minutes off the time this would take in the oven, and achieves a wonderful crisp that I don't think you'd get otherwise. The Instant Vortex Plus just got even better, with new ClearCook see through cooking window so you can see exactly how your food is cooking, and new OdourErase air filters to prevent food smells, so you can just enjoy the delicious taste.

To program each basket you press the number that corresponds to the basket underneath, and you can match up whatever is inside using the Sync buttons on either side. If you want to customise temperature or timings rather than using a preset, then that's totally possible with this model too. The cleaning of this air fryer is simple. If you've used the single-basket version, then it's exactly the same, with just two baskets to clean instead of one. If you're completely new to it, then all you need to do is either hand wash the baskets, including the grill or pop them into the dishwasher. So far my favorite use is to re-heat pizza. For this it works incredibly well. Crust turns toasty and crisp, toppings heat through, it's just great. Second best are those frozen potato patties. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside - and no extra oil! (they have plenty on them to begin with). The third thing it's great for is cooking sausage. Pan cooking a sausage is always an exercise in futility. Do you pan roast with the lid on? Lid off? Add water and boil with no lid or steam with the lid? Combination? Pre-Air Fryer I'd do the combination of steam and roast - but it took a long time and without cutting the sausage in half I could never tell if the center was cooked. The touch test you use to tell if a steak is done does not work on sausage. Air fryer - bang! 15 minutes and it's done! Cooked through, but still juicy. And in the time it's cooking I can get the plate set up and the sauerkraut out of the jar. I used the dehydrate feature once - it took quite a while and the end result was just 'ok'. I'll reserve thoughts until I've experimented with other items, but I don't think this option should be a reason to buy. 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. The only other job left to do? Give the exterior of the appliance a wipe to banish fingerprints, ideally with a microfibre cloth. Obviously this air fryer is quite big, so it's best to make sure that you don't have any overhanging cupboards above it as it works, to avoid condensation and all kinds of damp problems. How does it compare to similar models?

However, the fresh broccoli could have been more evenly cooked.

Just like the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Drawer Air Fryer, the Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer with ClearCook & OdourErase sports an angular design. This ensures it has a smaller overall footprint than its predecessor, measuring 39.2 × 30 × 33cm / 15.43 x 11.81 x 13 inches. The touch controls are positioned closer to the top of the air fryer, while the dial to adjust the cooking temperature and duration is slightly smaller than on the first iteration of the Instant Vortex Plus.

I like to see if I can use air fryers without referencing the instructions, and I got the Instant Vortex Plus up and running without the manual. You just choose the function you want: air fry, roast, bake, reheat, broil, or dehydrate. Then, adjust the time and temperature using the temp/time button and dial, and press start. Once started, the air fryer enters preheat mode for 3 to 4 minutes, at which point it beeps at you to add food. I found preheating unnecessary — I put the food in and started cooking right away, subtracting 3 minutes from my cooking time since the timer doesn't count down until after the unit preheats. What's more, despite it's somewhat low upper temperature limit, the cooking results in this air fryer definitely scored full marks for consistency and great taste. We also enjoyed the reminder to shake your food halfway through cooking, and the sleek control panel which is a lot more stylish than many air fryers on the market. Energy-efficient and cost-effective, our recent independent study has revealed that cooking with an Air fryer uses up to 80% less energy required than in the oven.*However, just like the Instant Vortex Plus, we found that this model’s crisper plate falls out easily if the frying basket is tipped up too much. The touch screen is made up of the temperature and time at the top, with a progress bar underneath. Then you have the banner that shows instructions throughout the process 'Add Food', 'Shake Food', 'End', etc. To get to the function you want, you use the bar below, which has those six functions that we discussed earlier: Air Fry, Bake, Grill, Reheat, Roast and Dehydrate. As far as cleaning, no your dish washer won't get the grill insert perfectly clean, but just try to think about it like the grate on a BBQ grill. It's gonna get dirty, but the heat keeps it sterile so don't worry about it too much. I wash mine about once a week after using it 3-4 times. It doesn't need to be cleaned with every use unless cheese melts. Enjoy your favourite fried foods’ crispy textures and flavours without the added oil and mess. With EvenCrisp air flow technology, you can lessen the calories but maintain the taste as you cook with 95% less oil.
