Q: QuestionCan I make toast? Which setting would I use?

Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hello. Thank you for your question. The Instant™ Vortex™ Plus 10-quart Air Fryer Oven doesn't have a dedicated Toast function however, you can still toast bread using the Bake function. We suggest placing your bread on the cooking tray and placing it on the upper rack. Set to Bake at 380F for 2-3 minutes depending on desired doneness. Enjoy!

Q: QuestionAlthough it is stainless inside, is the material of the basket which touches your food ceramic coated or another material free of PTFE & PFOA? Our last Vortex trays were non-stick and began peeling into the food and into our bodies, which is dangerous!

Asked 2 years ago by CARAMIA.

• A:Answer Hello Caramia. The coating materials for the cooking trays and drip tray do contain PTFE, also known as Teflon, and these coatings are PFOA free.

Q: QuestionIf for example i cook some bacon, how do you clean the top? Is it easy to clean?

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer The inside of the vortex plus is not a nonstick surface. I suggest you clean it after every use, if you don't the grease builds up and then it becomes a chore to clean.
