The Instant Vortex 6 Quart Air Fryer allows you to make healthier fried foods, fresh to frozen, crisped to perfection. Get the deep-fried flavor and texture by using up to 95% less oil, and enjoy quick cleanup because less grease means less mess. Air frying uses super-heated circulating air instead of hot oil to achieve the same crunchy flavor and texture as deep-fried food. It still traps juices within the crispy coating, but without the extra grease: it’s faster, safer, healthier, and a lot less work.

Instant Pot Vortex – Main Features
- Large size
- Square basket
- Easy-to-clean tray
Air fryers produce the crunchy texture you’d get from a conventional deep-fat fryer by mixing only a little oil with air that’s efficiently heated to roasting temperatures.
An air fryer ensures that foods are crisp on the outside but crispy on the inside by cooking them rapidly and using a fraction of the oil used in traditional roasting or frying.
If you’re used to cooking these foods in the oven, you’ll note that the results from an air fryer are much more succulent than those from a range, which can quickly dry out food by the time it’s fully cooked.
The Vortex’s 5.7-litre / 6-quart square basket, instead of the smaller circle or oval baskets in other air fryers, is a crucial design difference; Instant Pot claims it has enough room to cook a small chicken. The
Vortex’s square form means that you can make the most of every inch of room on your counter and fit more into the tray, as well as the fact that you can do more into the tray which is large enough to feed a family.
However, it’s worth noting that this is a reasonably bulky gadget at about 32cm high and 30cm tall, so if you don’t have enough counter space, you’ll have to store it when it’s not in use.
There are no complicated choices or over-complications on the touchscreen or dial, making them easy to use. When you use an air fryer, the system can warn you when it’s preheated and when it’s time to turn the food – but you can ignore the latter if you’re cooking for 1-2 people since smaller amounts of food cook more uniformly due to the circulated air.

We were eager to see if the Vortex Air Fryer could reduce the amount of oil we used in cooking, and it didn’t disappoint – mainly when it came to potato wedges. For a wonderfully crispy texture, whole baskets of food only needed a tablespoon of oil. Thankfully, the cooking tray drains any excess fat, so our food didn’t soak up anymore after the cooking time was up.
It’s difficult to track food in a traditional oven once it’s started cooking, particularly at high temperatures; opening the oven to check on progress lowers the temperature inside, adding extra cooking time. Since the Vortex is a smaller gadget, there is less room to heat, making it easier to keep track of cooking time and temperature. It was much easier to control the temperature, and we never had to add additional cooking time due to temperature fluctuations.
The Instant Vortex 6 air fryer is on the higher end of the air fryer market. However, we believe it is a fair price to pay for an appliance with a 5.7-liter size, making it one of the giant air fryers on the market, as well as its reliability.
