COOKING
The Vortex Plus uses rapid air circulation to crisp or cook food, giving
your meals all the rich, crispy flavor of deep frying, with little to no oil.
What to cook in
The cooking basket with cooking tray is perforated to allow air to flow
under and around your food, and should be used for most foods, like
wings and cauliflower bites.
For the Baking program only, you can use a metal or glass baking dish
to hold things like batter for cakes and dough for breads. Place the
baking dish inside the cooking basket for baking.
You can place food right on the cooking tray, without using foil or other
coverings.
