Instant Vortex 4-in-1 Air Fryer

in

A few weeks ago we decided to get an Air Fryer. We’ve been cooking 6 nights a week since the stay at home order and I thought this would be a good time to make some things with a new gadget.

I purchased an Instant Pot Vortex 4-in-1 Air Fryer for no other reason that I like Instant Pot as a company and brand and the size and form factor was appealing. I plan to keep this on the counter at all times.

Since purchasing the Air Fryer we have used it about 3 days a week. I’m really impressed with how fast and how good everything has been. Unlike a deep fryer and air fryer is basically just a small convection oven with a basket. This enables it to cook most dishes in under 20 minutes and make things delicious.

I have cooked the following items:

  • Grilled Cheese sandwiches

  • French Fries

  • Roasted red potatoes

  • Roasted chicken

  • Shrimp

  • Shrimp Scampi

  • Brussel Sprouts

  • Cauliflower

I plan to make a few more items like chicken wings.

I would suggest also getting a 7” cake pan so that you can cook dishes like Shrimp Scampi. This was delicious.

Here is the actual air fryer in our kitchen

I have found that the following two books are great starter books for recipes

I hope you enjoy cooking with an Air Fryer as much as I do!
