Air fryers are now an essential, bringing compact, cheap, reduced-oil cooking to any kitchen. However, as retailers compete to outdo each other, appliances that started out as compact 4-quart kitchen helpers have swelled to 6- and 8-quart behemoths with multiple frying drawers, taking up more and more room on countertops.
Instant's very latest air fryer aims to solve this issue. The Instant Vortex Slim 6-quart Air Fryer shrinks our favorite air fryer, the Instant Vortex Plus, by 20% while maintaining a generous 6-quart capacity. But can it offer good performance, too?
