Know before you buy
The ClearCook window, paired with an internal light, allows you to check on your food's progress without opening the baskets. This prevents heat loss, ensuring a more consistent temperature and faster cooking times.
SyncCook matches the settings of both baskets so you can cook the same food in both at once. SyncFinish allows you to set different cooking times or temperatures for each basket while ensuring both dishes finish at the exact same time.
While the unit has a total capacity of 8 quarts, each basket is designed for smaller portions or side dishes. A whole chicken may be too large for a single basket, but you can easily cook chicken pieces, wings, or breasts.
Yes, both the cooking baskets and the removable non-stick trays are dishwasher safe. For the longest life of the non-stick coating, hand washing with a soft sponge is recommended.
The unit features rapid preheating technology, which significantly reduces wait times compared to a traditional oven. Most programs will prompt you to add food once the desired temperature is reached.
The Vortex Plus offers a temperature range from 95°F to 400°F. This wide range allows you to perform delicate tasks like dehydrating fruit at low temperatures or air frying at high heat for a crispy finish.
