You finally got your Instant Air Fryer Oven. You figured out where to place it and you’ve read the manual (ok, truth be told, only some of you read the manual, am I right?) and you are ready to cook your first meal. Now what? Maybe you made the easy things like toast or bacon (definitely make bacon…it’s amazing int he Instant Air Frying Ovens!) but now you probably want to try your hand at something a little more substantial. At some point you are going to want to use your Omni or Vortex Plus to make one of your recipes that you typically make in your conventional oven. I mean that is the best thing about them is being able to cook your typical oven recipes faster and without heating up the whole house. But where do you start?
My blog is all about converting my family’s recipes to the Instant Pot and the Instant Air Fryer Ovens. In the video below I show you detailed instructions and some tips and tricks I use to do just that. I go over:
- How to convert any time and temperature to the Instant Omni/Omni Plus/Vortex Plus.
- How to figure out where to place your food.
- How to choose the best mode for your recipe.
- Tips to get your recipe to turn out just right.

Hi Lana, Can you explain to me when the broil coil on the top of the Omni Plus actually works? I have tried all the settings and have yet to see the coil fire up. Thank you.
The top coil I believe comes on during all the modes that use the fan (so all but Toast). It does not turn color so you can’t really tell by looking. Hope this helps. 🙂
It just seems counter intuitive to not glow. Looking at the same sort of thing on an electric stove top you would see it glow even at its lower setting. I will have to look at my ovens broiler and see if it glows when in use. I don’t know why this is driving me crazy, but it is. Thanks for replying.
Great tips! Yesterday I made some scones and noticed they cooked must faster than was recommended! Thanks for the time and temp tips!
thanks for the video. I have the vortex plus and your video answered a lot of my questions!
Oh boy I’m so glad! Happy cooking and reach out any time you have a question.
Hi. Can you show me how to make bread by instant omni plus. My meaning I do not know how to set up temp and time. Thank you
I haven’t baked bread in it yet. But I think putting it on LO setting is key.
Can you use 9×13 pan? Thanks
Hi. I just got the Omni. I cooked some chicken wings and the grease dripped all over the bottom and the burners. Can I use that black tray under things when it’s on Air Fry or will that hinder the cooking?
Hi. Yes you can absolutely use the black tray on the very bottom level. Using the air fry mode, it doesn’t use the bottom heating elements so it’s fine to use the black drip tray. Just know that the tray gets very hot because of the costing so it can tend to smoke if you cook on high heat. You can cover it in foil to help that. You can also place foil covering the bottom like i show in my blog on cooking a chicken that’s 4 lbs or heavier.
