Bit late....but I'm an air fryer virgin and have just bought one of these bad boys today. I found you today too and your video was uber helpful.. smooth voice too 👌
Thanks Doug for the pecan wing recommendation. Just ordered them at Walmart. Thanks for the review. I went with the other dual Air Fryer, it should be here next week. We have limited counter space so I am going to put my Cosori away for a while. I took your advice on that model over a year ago and I just replaced the basket. It was my first Air Fryer. I tell anyone looking for tips and guidance to watch your channel, you helped me so much. This is a game-changer for me, the dual baskets! We love you here in Nashville. Thanks again!
This is brilliant, baskets are good sizes. Can fit whole medium chicken in each one. Cooks foods in sync so they finish at the same time even if temp and time is diffrent.
I own several Instant appliances, starting with my first I-Pot purchase 5 years ago. I like the elegant design and the high quality. And yes, I have the 6 qt Vortex...
I was waiting for someone to get this new unit. I just got the single unit with the window and love it. However, I just don’t understand your fixation with the Instant’s having a mandatory preheat. You are not forced to preheat. It takes 3 min to get to 400. When preheat is done after 10 seconds or so it will just start the regular cooking. So, if you don’t want to preheat just put your food in right away and ignore the beep when it says to add food (adjust your cook time accordingly)
It depends whether the food contains flour/and or eggs. The instant heat from preheating allows those ingredients to do their thing and maintain their structure.
Just search youtube for ideas on what to cook in air fryers. When in doubt about timings, just do it in shorter increments so that you can catch it before it burns!
Thank you very much for the info provided. I bought it, but did not used it up to its capacity until I found your very useful video. God bless you Sir!
"This could be you, guys." You're so cruel! 😅 I've been debating the 4 quart vs this 8 quart dual drawer because I just cook for 1, but you've sold me on how handy 2 drawers would be.
I just bought one of these and thinking of taking it back to exchange for the Ninja dual basket. The immediate thing I dislike is the black panel that shows every finger print
Thanks for demonstrating the uselessness of the the instapot dual basket compared to my ninja dual bask that I can cook a roast in and veggies of the other side and walk away and come back to a cooked meal! Fancy having a bloody pre heat function on sync cooking that you have to go back into the kitchen to "pre heat" then bloody add food! Meaning you have to stop whatever you're doing and walk back into the kitchen! Rather defeating the purpose of having it all finish at the same time! I was so excited about this with the light & window!
Cool thanks so much for the video I own an instant Vortx +6 and one just love it the only thing that could be better would be two baskets thanks for showing me this awesome thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for the video. We just purchases one and I'm not finding recipes and/or accessories specific to this unit either. I was really excited about the dehydrator, but can't find anything on that either...
The Instant app that the company made is pretty useful. Doug spoke a bit about it but you can specify within the app which device you want the recipe for. In this case you can select the ‘instant vortex plus air fryer’ then it shows all the recipes for it.
Thanks for this! Wish I'd watched it before I bought it! Now it's too late to return cuz it was from the big A store on one of their specials. I agree about the size. Having the worst plastic smell that comes out of it when we use it. There are the little rubber pieces on the grates so I'm going to try using it without them. Did you have any smells that you recall?
Thanks for another great review. I like the see through windows the most. I’d like to see you make bacon and biscuits at the same time. Will you be reviewing the Crux Ghetto Air Fryer? Happy Holidays 🥰
I think most people wouldn't want the footprint on their counter to be any larger than this. Consequently, like the Ninja dual air fryer, the baskets are long and thin. One can always buy two fryers separately if they must have more square baskets...
Dual basket are awesome! Had the ninja for many years now. You cook a roast in one side potatoes in the other then I have third air fryer for more veg. Walk away and come back to a cooked meal...! If you use a single basket you have to say cook the salmon so long then stuff around walking back to the kitchen at a certain time (and that's provided you hear any beeps) then add rest of vegetables (for example) and reset for however much longer. This dual basket however not so great with the ridiculous pre heat function
Thanks for your review! Would you recommend this one over the ninja dual basket one? I’m torn because I like the window but the ninja xl has a bigger 10qt capacity that fits a whole roast chicken! Just wondering if you notice a major difference with usability and cleaning?
Hi. I'm front England. I have a Ninja 7.6L, ( AF300UK). I can get a 1.2 - 1.4 kg Whole Chicken. Took 1hr 15mins to cook. Turned out succulent & tasty on the Airfryer mode. There is a slightly larger Ninja Dual Airfryer 9.6L. That takes a 2kg whole chicken. ( sorry I don't know the equivalent of kg or litres in ur country ).
The dual baskets design doesn’t give you the option of cooking something bigger than a 4 qt basket can hold. I’m waiting for one design that gives you the option of one 8 qt basket in addition to the dual 4 qt baskets. Air fryer oven may be an option but it’s harder to clean and in general doesn’t air fry as good as the basket air fryer.
👋 HELLO👋 I JUST SUSBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL! I love the way you explain everything! WHICH ONE IS BETTER BETWEEN THIS ONE AND THE NINJA FOODY DZ401… Im between the ninja dz401 (I think the latest model dual baskets) or COSORI dual blaze no flip model (the one that heats up above and in the bottom as well) and/ or this one🥺 Which I one do you recommend????🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you so much !!!!
You were going to say something. You started “I’m going to be honest with you” and it cut off. I would love to know your thoughts on comparing this dual cooker vs the Ninja Foodi Duo. I LOVE my Ninja. Used it a few minutes ago. Grant you the baskets are not see through. How do you feel the basket sizes compare ? Doesn’t sound like you’re really impressed with it. I’ve watched through to where you start to eat so I haven’t finished watching the video yet. Just wanted to write my thoughts down before I forgot. I don’t have to preheat my Ninja either as you well know as you did a demo on it as well. Also, I’ve not been able to find the ginger chicken wings at Sam’s anymore. *sad*. Maybe they’ll come out with it again one day. I’ll have to look Tyson up on the internet and write to them. Also, the Panda Bejing sauce was not at the Walmart I got the first bottle from. I checked another Walmart and even Publix supermarket. No go. I had to order it from Amazon. Apparently people flock to these stores after watching your videos and buy them out ! *grin*. You do a great job ! Keep the videos going !
I returned this and picked up a cruxGG from target for half the price!!
Thank you for the update!
Why did you return it?
@@UniDashCorn price was to high for what it's worth was....as u can see not many OTHER videos on it as well
@@COOKINGWITHDOUG ok thank you!
@@UniDashCorn I wouldn't by this basket small but the single one good in this
You did such a great job explaining and demonstrating how everything works. A year later and it’s still relevant 💯

exactly, I put the food right in there and ignore the ‘add food’ beeps, simple!
Can you share the dimensions of the basket please?
Just like with a regular oven. It's rare for me to ever worry about preheating.
It depends whether the food contains flour/and or eggs. The instant heat from preheating allows those ingredients to do their thing and maintain their structure.
Was disappointed there was no recipe book but thanks to your video I now have a better idea on how to use it properly 😋

You are amazing Person that You think to feed us throu the screen... Im feeling ... touched...
TY Doug for showing us your new gadget! Love what you cook in here Happy Holidays and say safe
Heyyy Sis 🥰
"This could be you, guys." You're so cruel! 😅 I've been debating the 4 quart vs this 8 quart dual drawer because I just cook for 1, but you've sold me on how handy 2 drawers would be.
Is instant vortex worth buying or pay extra for the Nina 9.5litre , which brand is better overall?
Am torn between this and the cosori, which do you think is better. i have not tried either
Thanks Doug, very helpful and I like it that you said a little something something because my son says that!
OK, now do a Instapot dual vs Ninja Dual! I like the windows in Instapot but other than that, what's the difference?
Ninja has a bigger 10qt option with two 5qt baskets. It also goes up to 450 degrees vs 400 for the instant.
I just bought one of these and thinking of taking it back to exchange for the Ninja dual basket. The immediate thing I dislike is the black panel that shows every finger print

Nice looking Air Fryer, love the lights, see thru windows and sync! That chicken looks yummy!
Cool thanks so much for the video I own an instant Vortx +6 and one just love it the only thing that could be better would be two baskets thanks for showing me this awesome thank you thank you thank you
So do u like this one better or the ninja food 2 dual basket?
Thanks for the video. We just purchases one and I'm not finding recipes and/or accessories specific to this unit either. I was really excited about the dehydrator, but can't find anything on that either...
Hey Doug. Enjoy your videos. What do you think about this air fryer compared to the ninja 10 quart dual zone? (DZ401 foodie)? Thanks bud.
I would like to know this too along with basket measurements
Nice unit. I like the windows to view the food while cooking. Too bad they don’t provide recipes. Food looks good.😋😋
I believe their Instant Brand's website has all kinds of recipes for all their products.
Heyyy Sis 🥰
The Instant app that the company made is pretty useful. Doug spoke a bit about it but you can specify within the app which device you want the recipe for. In this case you can select the ‘instant vortex plus air fryer’ then it shows all the recipes for it.

Will you be reviewing the Crux Ghetto Air Fryer? Happy Holidays 🥰
Thanks Braz...I just might now!!🙌🏾
Bacon and biscuits sounds great!
Thank you for the video! Just bought mine ! ❤️
Nice machine. Love the viewing windows. 🤗
Heyyy,Sis 🥰

I would just like you to explain the roast baked dehydrate button and what should be cooked in those
Doug that looks delicious. My Store is always out of those wings. The unit is cool.
Heyyy Terrace🥰
Thanks for your review! Would you recommend this one over the ninja dual basket one? I’m torn because I like the window but the ninja xl has a bigger 10qt capacity that fits a whole roast chicken! Just wondering if you notice a major difference with usability and cleaning?
I would pick neither and get the cruxGG from target
Hi. I'm front England. I have a Ninja 7.6L, ( AF300UK). I can get a 1.2 - 1.4 kg Whole Chicken. Took 1hr 15mins to cook. Turned out succulent & tasty on the Airfryer mode.

Are you pushing down on those buttons super hard or is the top flimsy?
Had me at “this could be you” 😂
Just picked up mine today 😁
Enjoyed your video, how about Cornish hen and baby potatoes
I feel like the see through windows would be an extra hassle to clean oil and grease off of
1:11 power ratings are on page 27 of the manual.
for all its gadgetry it doesnt have the stop and shake function which i use a lot to remind me its time to shake/turn the food
Yeah...thats not big deal tho
Great video - ty so much !
Should there be some kind of lights on the display as soon as you plug it in. I can’t get anything on the display screen.
Return or exchange....thanks
hello Doug.. great review on this unit 😊
Hey Doug. What's that Kitchen Paper Towel Dispenser call ed pls?
Ive just bought one of these in the uk, but im not arsed about the fryer i want some of those pecan chicken wings.
What are the measurements for the baskets?
Would love to see complete meals like today done at the same time. Steak & baked potato? Bacon and country potatoes.
What kind of chicken did you put in the air fryer?
My close basket light will not go off on one side, any suggestions?
I wonder if I could cut a frozen pizza in half, and it would fit in one of those baskets??, that would be nice!
Just to add, this is the best demonstration I have seen on this air fryer. I have now ordered it from Amazon. 😊
This could be you guys 🤣 Great review!
I like this guy 😁
Love it! Nice!
Hi Boo, I like your new AF. Nice 👍 👍
Heyyy Sis!🥰
@@mzbrazell Hi there Sis. I pray all is well💕👍👍
Do you think 1/2 a chicken would fit on each side?
Prob not
That's really cool
You’re making me HUNGRY ! :0)
Hi Doug like the Air fryer
hi i just bought it but the maximum i got is 200 not 400
Nice! gimme those flats! lol
Me too!😂
So would you go with this over the Ninja model?
Plz read pinned comment!!
So that's saying that you like the cruxxgg over everything then? Is the divider really better than having seperate drawers
The dual baskets design doesn’t give you the option of cooking something bigger than a 4 qt basket can hold. I’m waiting for one design that gives you the option of one 8 qt basket in addition to the dual 4 qt baskets. Air fryer oven may be an option but it’s harder to clean and in general doesn’t air fry as good as the basket air fryer.
Check out my latest video on a diff dual basket
ruclips.net/video/O3eRMi3qf64/видео.html
Maybe you want "Instant Vortex Plus Dual 8 u 1 Air Fryer" ;-)
Does it beep and tell you when to turn the food?
hi, yes it does
Doug, the CruxGG 6 in 1 9qt Air Fryer with TriZone Technology is meant for you!
Their basket is HUGE!🥰
Your wish is my command!!
👋 HELLO👋
I JUST SUSBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL! I love the way you explain everything!
WHICH ONE IS BETTER BETWEEN THIS ONE AND THE NINJA FOODY DZ401…
Im between the ninja dz401 (I think the latest model dual baskets) or COSORI dual blaze no flip model (the one that heats up above and in the bottom as well) and/ or this one🥺
Which I one do you recommend????🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much !!!!
Hello, does anyone know how to switch from C to F? Plz and thank you so much 🙏🏽
Somebody said hold down on the temperature for 5 seconds or longer..
I'm sorry, with covid going around, I can't take a bite after you. Give me one for myself. 😏
Np!! 😆
"The length is fine for me." That's what she said.
I buy instant pot appliances because they are made to last. Cheaper ones coating comes off.
Not these days, thats 2016 talk...nothing chips now

I was gonna say, enough with the unboxing I'm ready to cook lol I don't have the Ninja one 😔
Nice!
Hi there Doug!! ☮️💟
Looks good!!
Nice new gadget
Nice
I feel lost. No recipe book, No guide for temps and times. I am trying to figured it out my new toy.
Ninja Foodi Dual Zone knockoff, how original. 🤔
Really loud
They should have made it where you could take the middle part out
this could be you guys loll
