Instant Brands Vortex Mini Air Fryer Review

The Instant Brands Vortex Mini Air Fryer is a 4-in-1 appliance with a compact design. It has a 2 litre cooking capacity which is sufficient for a quarter of a chicken or 4 portions of French fries, for example. Not only does the appliance air fry, it also bakes, roasts and reheats food. The fryer is available in four colours - Black (pictured), Aqua, Red and White.

So as to remove guesswork from the equation, the Instant Brands Vortex Mini Air Fryer comes with pre-set cooking modes which set the temperature and cooking time for the best results. Despite this, it is possible to override these settings and manually change the temperature and timer to cook food in-line with your preferences. There's also a "shake-and-turn" function that tells you when to turn the food for an even crisp.
