Overview
Instant Pot builds the Vortex Plus as a basket air fryer with a touchscreen that walks through each cooking stage. Hot air circulates around food in the nonstick basket to air fry, roast, broil, bake, reheat or dehydrate.
A low starting temperature makes dehydrating fruit and jerky possible alongside everyday frying, and the basket holds enough for a family side dish. The listing is messy, with two wattage figures and a component line that describes a pressure cooker lid.
Who it's for
Weeknight sides, reheated leftovers and dried snacks for a household of several people suit this size. Those who want rotisserie, multiple racks or a see through window should look at an oven style fryer.
Pros and cons
- Low heat for dehydrating
- Touchscreen shows each cooking stage
- Basket goes in the dishwasher
- Little to no preheating
- Wattage figures conflict in the listing
- Single basket limits batch cooking
- No window to watch food
Performance notes
Crispness comes from air moving across the food surface, so a single layer in the basket browns evenly while a crowded basket steams. Shaking halfway through exposes hidden sides. The high wattage recovers heat fast after the basket is opened.
