About this deal
The air fryer is programmed with eight different functions and there are touchscreen controls, so you can manually adjust the time and temperature too.
Our tester Alex found that this air fryer produced 'among the best-cooked asparagus I've ever had in my life'.Choosing the Philips over models higher up this guide simply means compromising on slick functions as well as enduring a little more noise (I found that it was one of the noisier options, registering 72dBA).
Each drawer is selectable using a 1 or 2 button, then offers an interior light to illuminate what's inside. She was particularly pleased with the air fryer mode, which crisped perfect rashers of bacon in just seven minutes. Like other air fryers, the Instant Vortex Plus cooks food by using a motorized fan to evenly circulate hot air, thus eliminating the need for cooking oil.
You can fix that by lining it with a sheet of foil, but that's an ongoing cost and defeats the point of the mesh. Cook with the Instant Vortex Plus with ClearCook and know exactly how your food is cooking by watching through the ClearCook window. If you don't want to use the app, there's a choice of 12 inbuilt cooking presets that take the pressure out of cooking a wide range of dishes.
We purchased the Instant Vortex Plus 7-in-1 Air Fryer Oven so our reviewer could put it to the test in her kitchen.We've also tested other options that didn't make the grade, as well as some other appliances with air frying functions.
I think it’s a good enough Air Fryer, it does the job, however, I have found things that I don’t like about it, which you don’t know until you use it. This isn't a dealbreaker, I just found the display a bit uninformative for a product that heats up to 400 degrees. The “plus” boasts features beyond the hot circulating air: Broil, Bake, Dehydrate, Rotisserie, Roast and Re-heat. Smart dial control and digital pre-set buttons to easily adjust time and temperature and cooking progress message bar display cooking status from preheating to cooking and the Message bar guides you through cooking with ‘add food’ prompts and ‘turn food’ reminders for perfect, even results.If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.
