Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven 10 qt by Instnat Pot REVIEW Like a basket style air fryer it uses hot air to mimic the results of frying foods while also cooks things much more quickly than other methods. This air fryer oven also roasts, broils, dehydrates, reheats, bakes, and has a rotisserie. Best of all it does it all without heating up your whole house. The very first recipe I used to test my new kitchen appliance was cauliflower nuggets with a hint of curry powder. I carefully followed the directions by rolling the florets in eggs and breadcrumbs, but I put my fryer to the test by only using a quarter of the oil recommended. After baking the cauliflower at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, it transformed into perfectly golden and crispy nuggets.

A lot of the air frying experience—just like cooking in general—is trial and error.

If you don’t have a broiler in your oven this is a solid alternative, but when using it for things you already broil you will need to adjust the time to compensate for the lower temperature. The roast setting allows the food to cook slower than the air fry setting. However, if you are getting similar results from the air fry setting in a fraction of the time, this setting may not be used very often. It all depends on your desired outcome and the time you have to put into daily food preparation. And don't forget to check out my air fryer cookbooks!
