How much time are you willing to spend cleaning up after you’re done air frying your meal? Almost all air fryers are easier to clean than countertop oil fryers; quickly rinsing the basket and drawer and sticking them both in the dishwasher is par for the course for most models. However, some units have baskets that must be hand-soaked and scrubbed before the next use. Air fryers are an entirely different beast than the countertop oil fryers you may have bought in the past. A light spritzing from an oil spray bottle should be all you need. During an at-home evaluation, it became clear that the Instant Vortex’s unique square footprint is the secret to its success. It capably cranks out multiple servings in one cycle — easily making enough appetizers for a game-day gathering or a small dinner party. They love the crisper plate that is used in the basket instead of a separate second internal basket. Easy, fast, versatile, compact, and convenient, so you can make all your favorite fried sides and snacks with less of the oil and none of the mess. You can also customize these programs to your liking. So you can cook your chicken wings the same way each time. That’s a pretty neat feature to have on this air fryer. The Instant Vortex Plus is a newer air fryer that can do more than just air fry.
