Ive been using this helpful appliance for three years now, and things have only gotten better since.

In my kitchen, anyway.

I originally got theInstant Vortex 5.7-quartso I could write more recipes for Thanksgiving food coverage.

Why would anyone even use this thing?

I judged it endlesslyuntil I did start using it.

You simply plug it in, and the appliance comes alive.

The panel lights up with mode options: air fry, bake, reheat, and roast.

There are two additional buttonsfor setting the temperature and setting the timerthat you control with the rotating dial.

Theres a single grate that sits snugly into the basket, and thats it.

After the work day is done, Ive had enough of my kitchen.

Thats how dinner gets cooked: Amarinated pork tenderloin,turkey kielbasa, orfrozen steak bitesgo in.

This machine is clutch for lazy weeknight dinners.

Reheating leftover fried food in the oven for 20 minutes is a thing of the past.

Truly, it makes cooking large meals easier.
