As well as air fry, the Instant Vortex Plus Dual Drawer Air Fryer can roast, bake, grill, reheat and dehydrate. The air fryer has a total capacity of 7.6 litres / 8 quarts, which is split evenly across the two frying baskets. The front of the baskets feature a built-in plastic window, which, along with a light in the cooking cavity, ensures you can see how cooking is progressing. For easy cleaning, both the baskets and the crisper plates that sit inside them are dishwasher-safe – an improvement on its predecessor, where only the crisper plate could be cleaned in the dishwasher. The shiny exterior and touch control panel can both mark with greasy fingerprints, so you’ll need to give them the occasional buff to keep them clean. Likewise, the top will collect dust if you’re not using it frequently. How does it compare to similar air fryers? The smart SyncCook function means you can automatically match cooking settings between drawers, or SyncFinish to ensure the finish time between the two baskets is simultaneous! And if you only want to cook a small portion, then simply cook using just one drawer! Energy efficient and cost effective, our recent independent study has shown that you can save energy and cost when cooking in an Air Fryer compared to an electric oven.* It’s worth noting that there's no instruction manual or recipe book in the box. Instead there’s a getting started guide which includes safety and warranty information along with several QR codes that’ll take you to a digital instruction manual online. Testing the Instant Vortex Plus VersaZone When it came to homemade fries, we used our experience with the steak cut fries, placing only 300g / 10.5oz in the frying basket. We used 1.5tsp of oil, which is what the recipe called for. This time we set the air fryer to 191 C / 376 F for 20 minutes, the suggested cooking time for homemade fries in the Instant app. Once the cooking time had passed, the potato batons had been turned into crunchy, evenly browned fries that were soft and fluffy inside.

I have truly nothing but good things to say about the Vortex Plus 6-in-1, so you can imagine how pleased I was to discover that Instant was adding a new air fryer to their portfolio and one that could cook either one large portion or two separate ones. Easy to use – Simply choose a function, set the time and temperature and press Start – with the cooking progress indicator letting you know how long until your dish is ready!

We started with 450g / 1lb frozen steak cut fries in basket one, using the default air-frying settings: 196 C / 385 F for 15 minutes. Usefully, the air fryer automatically preheats for three minutes once a time and temperature has been selected, while also offering a visual and audible prompt to add food when it reaches temperature. As a single basket, the VersaZone has a capacity of 8.5L while the dual zones have a capacity of 4.2L each.Or cook two foods, two ways – independent cooking baskets with separate controls for each and handy SyncFinish function so both foods are ready at the same time EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INSTANT BRANDS MAKES NO WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY STATUTE, USAGE, CUSTOM OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLIANCES OR PARTS COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, OR REPRESENTATIONS OF WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR DURABILITY.

x 4.2L capacity when removable divider is in place – ideal for cooking 2 things at one, such as fish and chipsThe air fryer provides an audible and visual alert once it’s pre-heated and it’s time to put the food in the basket, and another alert at the half-way point, so that you can turn or shake food as required to ensure it's evenly browned. They cooked in 10 minutes, which is about right, but I had quite a big mixture and it was a hot day and I didn’t love the idea of standing there doing another 5 batches. So after the first two, I improvised. A sync cook button allows you to set up one zone and then mirror the settings in the second zone. Or, if you set them up with different times and temperatures, by pressing the sync finish button, it’ll delay the start time on one side so that they both finish together, ready for plating up. We also noted that when tipping out fries once they were cooked, the crisper plate didn’t fall out – something that regularly happened during testing of the Instant Vortex Plus. The Instant Vortex Plus Dual Drawer Air Fryer has a bigger overall capacity than its predecessor, the Instant Vortex Plus, but each frying basket can hold only 4 quarts / 3.8 litres. Without any cooking charts or guides in the box, it was clear that we’d need to experiment with cooking temperatures and durations to ensure food was cooked perfectly.
