What I love about the Instant Air Fry Toaster Ovens is that they come with everything you need to start cooking. But as I used them more and more I found myself looking for different accessories to enhance the cooking experience. Soon I became obsessed trying to find and acquire different accessories that fit just right in my air fryers. Some worked. Some didn’t. And some just made me giddy with how good they made the food turn out or how easy they made cooking and/or cleaning.
So, I decided to create a list of my favorite accessories that I have found. None of these companies sponsor me and every one of the accessories I have purchased and tried myself just through looking and trail and error.
**That said, the links I use are affiliate links. This means, if you use the link I provide to purchase the accessory, I get a very small percentage (it is the same price whether you use the link or not). However, this does not affect whether or not I suggest an accessory. This just helps me continue to buy and test accessories so you don’t have to!**
1. Must Haves for All Air Fryers!
The BEST Olive Oil Mister
This is the only oil mister I have used that actually sprays out a fine mist, almost equivalent to an aerosol sprayer. When you press down quickly and with force it mists out the oil. If you want a stream of oil, just press slower.
Air Fryer Rack with 4 Skewers
This rack is so cute. You can flip it over to have a baking rack that lifts food up higher allowing for air flow all around. And then it has the skewers that also allow for air flow so you don’t have to flip them.
Meater+ Wireless Thermometer
I used this thermometer on so much more than just cooking in the air fryer. However, because it has no cord it is perfect for the Air Fryer Ovens (not the basket style). There is a regular option, but I found that the Plus has much better connectivity. However, the Meater+ comes in bundles of 1, 2, or 4. It connects through an app on your phone and it shows you the internal temp, ambient temp, and gives you an alarm when your food is almost done. Below is a screenshot of the app.
Double Layer Air Fryer Rack with Skewers for All Air Fryers
This air fryer rack fits basket style air fryers and the Instant Vortex Plus. It’s the perfect way to make kebabs, but also you can flip it over and use it as a higher level rack that allows you to cook multiple layers of food.
2. Instant Vortex Plus Accessories
Instant Vortex Plus 7 -in – 1 Air Fryer Oven
Click here to watch my Review and Guide.
Instant Vortex Pro 9 – 1 Air Fryer Oven
This is a new model that has a proof and reheat button.
Silicone Mat
This mat fits perfectly over the open door. It works great when sliding the trays in and out, to keep drips and messes from getting all over the door.
8×8 Calphalon Baking Dish
I use the darker pan, but they no longer make that one. I have this in the 9×3 size and I really like it. This fits perfectly in the Vortex Plus if you flip the baking trays upside down.
Air Fryer Rack with 4 Skewers
This rack is so cute. You can flip it over to have a baking rack that lifts food up higher allowing for air flow all around. And then it has the skewers that also allow for air flow so you don’t have to flip them.
Baking Tray and Rack Combo that Fits the Vortex Plus/Pro
3. Omni/Omni Plus Accessories
Kebab Cage with 10 Skewers
I LOVE this accessory! It uses the spit rod and screws that comes with the Omni/Omni Plus so it fits perfectly and it makes the best kebabs ever.
Rotisserie Basket for Omni/Omni Plus
Want the Omni but sad it doesn’t have a basket like the Vortex Plus? No worries. This basket uses the rotisserie spit that comes with the Omni/Omni Plus. It is smaller than the Vortex Plus basket, but it gets the job done.
Baking Tray for Omni/Omni Plus
Stackable Air Fryer Basket and Tray
You probably think, why do I need another basket when the Omni comes with one? Well, if you carefully fold the handles in a bit, you can sit the air frying basket that comes with the Omni/Omni Plus, right on top and then you have 2 layers of air fry baskets.
Does instant pot sell the Omni fryer basket and oven rack?
Sadly they don’t.
Hi Lana, Husband just bought Omni Plus to replace misfunctioning Vortex Plus. I’ve purchased the rotisserie basket you recommend, but the kebab cage is unavailable and Amazon doesn’t know when/if that product will be restocked. Another person on the IP Vortex page bought the GoWise skewer rotisserie set which does work in the Vortex, but I’m wondering if it would work in the Omni as well, if I use the rod that comes with the Omni. Since you have both air fryer ovens, can you help with answering that question? Is the rod in the Omni much different, design-wise, than… Read more »
Hi. The rod is almost exactly the same, so if it fits the Vortex, it will fit the Omni.
The winner be skewer item is unavailable on Amazon and says they don’t know if it will come back. Is there another brand you would recommend with size specifications for the Omni plus skewer?
Hi. Sometimes they sell out but I know there are other similar ones. I haven’t used them so I’m not sure which one to tell you, but I’ll take a look and see if I can find a different one.
This is the item I found that is pretty much the same. Most of these come from China and are all manufactured in the same place. Brand names are just attached as a marketing thing. You may see 4 or 5 of the exact same item but with different brand names… But they all are from the same company.

During a move the forks for the rotisserie of our Omni were lost. I can’t find replacements anywhere! I have contacted the company twice but other than an ‘I get your email’ no response. Anyone know where to purchase these? Thank you! We miss our rotisserie!
So Sorry for that. It does take the company a little while to get back especially during the holiday season when they are probably overwhelmed, but they are gerat at helping out. As of now I don’t know any place to buy extra forks.
Pat – I bought an Omni that broke during shipping so I was sent another. So, I have two rotisserie accessories. I can sell you one at a reasonable price. droy336@yahoo.com
The stackable extra basket links are broken wherever you have posted them. Can you fix them if it’s still available ?
I think I’ve found one looks very similar to the one you mention – it’s 13.1” wide – looks like a tight fit.
Sorry I can’t link to it at the moment
Hi, thank you for letting me know. I will try to find a comparable brand and link that one as soon as I can.

Possibly this ?
13.1” may be the package dimensions – it says further down 12.9” tray and 11.9 basket – this might work even if it’s not the one you mentioned.
I’m getting the “older” plain Omni this week (looks simpler) and I’m going crazy anticipating fried goodness. We are also Miami transplants in Upstate New York now and miss the bakeries & restaurants the most of anything.
Thanks for your great ideas.
Can I buy a replacement rotisserie rod for the Omni Oven? I bought a 14x23cm Falytemow rotating drum/basket for my new Omni Oven. It fits perfectly, and is supposed to be the largest one for the Omni. What I’d like to do now is modify the rotisserie rod so that only the ends that connect the drum to the inside walls of the oven remain—in other words, I want to saw off the middle part of the rod that goes through the drum, so there’s more room for things inside the drum to turn. Then, if necessary I would weld… Read more »
Hi Lana. The rotisserie basket for my Vortex Plus has been lost. Does the basket you recommend for the Omni also fit the Vortex or is there another brand that you’re aware of that will fit the Vortex? I contacted the company and they don’t sell the basket separately.
Hmm that's a great question. I believe it will fit, but I am not sure.
