For Vortex Pro Owners, the only difference is that the Pro has a Proof and Slow Cook function. But the instructions and tips in the video work the same!

After months and months of checking many reviews online and on Amazon, I finally narrowed it down to the Instant Vortex Plus air fryer oven. And so far, I am very pleased with my choice. I saw the user manual and immediately just knew I was going to need to watch some KZbin videos to get a better idea how to properly use it effectively and find some recipe ideas too. Thanks for this video. Very detailed.

[@monicagarrick432]

I truly hope this company is paying you! Without your help I wouldn’t have had a clue how to cook in this Vortex! Thanks so much!

[@aodkubaodkub8734]

*I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare **MyBest.Kitchen** a chore which usually kept me from frying all together. Also, the lack of needing oil to fry means that my family and I are eating healthier... while still enjoying the crispiness of fried foods.*

[@quicktolaughter]

Fantastic for bacon. Only half a standard pack at one time, use both trays, switch tray position when you flip. TIP: I set the whole thing (carefully) on my flat stove which has a great vent. You could hardly tell I was cooking bacon in the house. WATCH the bacon towards the end. Once I overlooked it and it was still so tasty.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

You are so right, I don't cook bacon any other way anymore. I will say be careful placing it on your stove. Many many people have done that with their Instant Pots and accidently turned on the stove and burned their pots. It happens all the time. The smoke on the side when cooking bacon is really just steam so no need to use a vent.

[@morgosays]

Thank you for this! What's the best way to clean the inside after cooking something greasy like bacon?

[@LanaUnderPressure]

So the best way to clean the Vortex Plus is really to wipe it down after every use. I use a Norwex cloth and water and that works great. Because the Vortex is non-stick, if you clean it each time you really don't have to use harsh cleaners because it wipes off really well. I cook bacon all the time, it's the best. The trays I clean int he sink with just soap and sponge. I have never used the dishwasher yet, but you can. I really like the new Dawn Foaming Spray. It's great.

[@tradergino]

Lana, my rotisserie basket has developed stains just after a few uses. Have you experienced the same?

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Hi, I haven't gotten stains on my basket. But I will say I never use it wihtout it being washed. I find that if I rinse it and use a veggie scrubber to clean it, it works great and the stains don't get a chance to set in. It is dishwasher safe though.

[@E_Stew]

I have a very similar air-fryer made by Faberware. 😉 As a tip, whenever I cook something in my air-fry that has some fat, like pork chops, lamb chops, steaks, or has a coating that will become flaky and leave crumbs...I take a paper plate and hold it under the bottom of the rack as I pull it out...That way things like grease and other bits don't drop down in between the crack of the door and oven where they can become hard to clean out. Although the door is detachable and can be cleaned, I'd rather not fuss around with doing that too often. 😉 Thanks for the upload...Well done. 😊

[@melonydever]

Lana what is the benefit of using the roast function over air fry for the hot dogs? My Vortex is coming in the mail tomorrow. So excited!!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Oooo how exciting! I was trying to mimic the rollers that they have for the hot dogs like at Costco and such. It's not hot air but a heating element and the hot dogs roll around near the heat. Plus I wanted to keep some of the juice and fat that comes out. But I bet you could do it on the air fry mode for a little less time.:)

Have you cut your finger when cleaning the inside of the basket yet. I just bought mine today and I love it. But when I went to clean the inside of the basket I cut my finger on the metal blade they have to help tumble things. I love it though. Tip: When cooking bacon if you put the other cooking tray on top of bacon it will keep it from curling and keep it flat. I havent had to use the latch, I pull the basket out at an angle and it comes right out. I didn't even pay attention to the latch till you pointed it out. Thanks for the vid and be careful when cleaning the basket with your hands. Very sharp blade in it.

[@bluzeblast]

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!! My wife just bought one and I read your experience to her. We are grateful.

Hi. Thank you for the heads up. I use a produce brush to clean it so I have never head the problem of sharp edges. I would definitely recommend using a stuff brush instead. Plus its easy easier to clean that way. I love the bacon tip!!!

[@suezk7512]

Does it expel a lot of steam or grease thru vents while cooking

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Not at all. Very little surprisingly.

[@Nelson4207]

yes, it does release a ton out of the back. if you put it near a wall or on a counter it will get that yellow grease that is hard to remove all over anything near by. you can feel the very hot, moist air releasing out of the back of the machine. its junk ;) Not sure how she could say not at all. XD No machine that uses mass amounts of hot air just doesn't release it.... Just not how it works.

[@prayonkreutz2398]

It looks Identical to my Faberware Airfryer!! I bought mine last black Friday (2018) at Walmart for $60.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

I have heard good things about the Farberware air fryer. Maybe had I tried that one first instead of the one from TV I would have liked them. The Vortex was the first air fryer I didn't return, lol.

I just got this for Christmas and this video was a huge help. Thank you!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Glad I could help!

[@DawgsChamp88]

Thank you for your time and video. I'm late to the air fryer craze, but kept thinking I don't need one. It's a want and I have a regular oven. I don't like to cook so anything to makes making dinner easier, I like. I had debated the air fryer lid for my current IP. One comment mentioned this was better and I came looking for a how to video. Your video was spot on what I needed and to the point. Thank you for demonstrating it. You helped me decide. I like this better. I had heard the ovens were a pain to clean. I love that the door comes off. I have the tiny Hamilton Beach Toastation. It wins the award for the words tiny cooker. It works great, but the oven... forget it. It'll burn anything too tall and so hard to clean. I need a reason to get rid of it.

Where can I find recipes for my new vortex plus 10

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Of course I would have to say my blog, lol. But Instant Pot has put out a few recipes.

Instant Pot, not Instapot :-) Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

[@PoeLemic]

Who cares, Viki? I like how she says it.

[@catherinee.linton9783]

@@PoeLemic Yeah, who cares. I know many women that have Instant Pots and many people call it "Instapot". I think of it as a term of affection for the appliance :).

[@RootsandWingsLife]

I know, I agree. I cringe when some say the brand name like that, too! But, apart from that, she does a great job.

[@teejay9319]

@@PoeLemic Respectfully, actually me and about 1.9 million other Instant Pot community group members care. Instapot is another (knock-off) product.

Thanks for being so comprehensive in your review, I appreciated it. 👍🏻

[@melanie21463]

Oh thank you! I learned so much from you! Now I can use mine more! I had no clue how to use it. It's all been trial and error for me.

[@GaryCriswell]

Can also use the drip pan for cooking per the digital manual instantpot.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/VortexPlus_10Quart_English-Full-Manual-2.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1oAz_8UK2EaYyITt4PG4eXsvESzRvc3qEG-STr9bO5lMoVZxPqR0OODRA Per the manual whenever using the rotisserie accessories you load them before preheating the over. Sort of wish they added the manual to the box. Hopefully they add it later. Getting mine today and can't wait. Most likely having chicken wings tonight!!

[@MySonsMother]

When you're pointing to the left and describing the right, viewers need to understand you're likely using the selfie camera which reverses everything. So you mean what you say, even though it doesn't look like it.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Thank you. I'm actually using a dslr Nikin camera so it doesn't have that reverse function however my son is a whizz at video editing so I bet he can show me how to flip it. 👍

[@cherylmeyers8387]

Yeah, I was a bit confused on that one. LOL

[@JDVYT]

Thank you for this demonstration. Very educational!

[@jenniferkinney9840]

Thank you for this video! The manufacturer doesn't provide much guidance. You are a life-saver!!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

I'm so glad I could help!

[@RevWarRev]

Aluminum coated with Teflon!?! With all the issues Teflon has?

[@melodiecross4821]

Yeah...not bird safe.

[@rochellelambkin9388]

Yep.. i was so excited until she said teflon 😔

[@teejay9319]

The interior is 100% stainless steel. It is only the trays that have PTFE (Teflon). You can buy or use other trays. I do.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Yeah Teflon is not for everyone. If I had birds I probably wouldn't use it. I have a bird dog who is much more dangerous to birds, so no birds here.

[@whiskeycook3323]

Tee Jay so where did you buy trays that fit in that machine? Isn5 brand new on the market

[@asmamusleh8841]

I just stated using my Air fryer for the first time and the steam was coming from the left side of the door

[@LanaUnderPressure]

If it's steam that is normal.

[@wl1659]

Hi guys, which model you are talking about? Mine is coming out from the back..... Thx

[@ricoxel09]

My sister-in-law surprised me for Christmas with this Instant Pot Vortex Plus. I was totally shocked to see the size of this. I live alone and I was expecting just the regular kind of Air Fryer. Thanks for the video, especially for beginners like me to try cooking using this product.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Yeah, it's quite a bit bigger than the regular air fry basket. But I think you will see even though it's bigger it's great for small portions. Happy cooking and stay safe!

[@ricoxel09]

Lana Under Pressure Thank You so much for the reply. You just made me more inspired and confident to start cooking, using this precious Christmas present 😉. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@MrBillVaughan]

Thank you very much! Awesome video with a huge 10 star demonstration!
