Chances are, even if it hasn’t already taken a prime spot on your kitchen counter, you’ve at least heard of the wonders of the Instant Pot.
With more than seven uses from the one appliance, the Instant Pot has gained legendary status with home cooks. On Amazon it’s currently sitting just shy of a five-star rating with almost 1,500 international reviews. Now, there’s another brilliant appliance to add to the list, as its creators have just released their latest generation of air fryers.
The Instant Vortex Plus, fitted with an advanced microprocessor, offers a healthier, convenient alternative to deep-frying – with 95 per cent less oil! – and will also roast, bake, broil, dehydrate and reheat your favourite foods. That means everything from hot chips and chicken wings, to roast chickens, beef jerky and cinnamon rolls are all possible with this one, versatile appliance. No longer need you crowd counters with a toaster, microwave, pizza oven and more – the Instant Vortex Plus, with its compact silhouette and ability to do it all, has got it covered.
Considering air fryers can range from anywhere between $80 to $600, the Instant Vortex Plus’ $269 price tag is arguably well worth the investment - and now, Amazon has taken 29 per cent off, making it possible to pick it up for $189.95 right now.
The purchase comes with everything you need to make fast and tasty meals, including a cooking timetable for the most popular of dishes and over one thousand tried-and-tested recipes. For example, your standard serving of frozen, thick-cut fries will only take 20-25 minutes from freezer to plate. If, like me, it is a dish you intend to cook time and time again, the air fryer will save your favoured settings so you can get your meal on its way with only a touch of a button.
As for the clean up? Its sleek stainless steel surface easily wipes clean, and its interior cooking tray is removable and dishwasher-safe.
HOW DOES AN AIR FRYER WORK?
Air fryers are kitchen appliances that use the circulation of hot air to cook foods. Considered a healthier alternative to the traditional deep fryer that requires large quantities of added oil to work, it favours the utilisation of oils already present in foods to give flavour and texture to its contents.
WHAT CAN YOU COOK IN AN AIR FRYER?
Depending on the model you choose to invest in, you’ll be able to do more than air fry foods – but bake, roast, reheat and broil, too. Some air fryers’ baskets are only designed to hold small qualities of snacks – chips, spring rolls, chicken wings – but others, with deeper baskets will aim to replace ovens and deep fryers which are used to prepare meals, including whole chickens.
