  1. Temperature might be the key (higher than 320 - you can always check on progress) p
  2. if they are "18680" batteries, Amazon has outboard chargers, but obviously you have to remove the batteries to charge them not good solution Did you try it before they were charging? They should have some juice in them from the factory - it might be the blender and not the batteries 😨 p
  3. My Gaggia Brera Super-Automatic Espresso Machine is the noisiest machine in the kitchen when grinding the dose, a close secnd would be the Ninja Creami p

    Aldi

    btw the "small font" comment was a joke!!!! After I googled Aldi locations and found that it seemed there was one on every corner in America (the southern part of America at least compared to the northern part of America, affectionately known as Canada) I could see the problem 😛 p

    Small font? p

    Easiest way is to dedicate 1/2 page or 1/4 page to store locations - I've seen many flyers use that approach p
  7. I think you still are!!! p
  8. I saw the picture before I read your comment, but my first thought was "dry" and I can easily see why you would add over-cooked and tasteless to the description - did you perchance spritz them with a little oil/pam prior to cooking? I find that sometimes helps p
  9. Amazon says: "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months" Bestbuy says: "This will be delivered as early as tomorrow." Canadian Tire actually has 3 in stock (Orillia) - sale ends June 30 I guess you know where to shop 😁 p
  10. Great story(s) Lettuce not so much, but much more.🙂 p
  11. Nice looking mat! Oh and the chicken looks okay too 😛 What time and temp did you use? p
  12. The Original Air Fryer (also known as the Halogen Oven) Was great on performance and capacity - not so much on clean up p
  13. I use one for the top of my APO to prevent scratches as I'm always putting something on any flat surface in the kitchen p
  14. Easier clean-up, that's all p
  15. I haven't found their software support to be that great, assuming you've done everything right, as it's buggy/weak software - for some it works great, others not so much. I hope in your case I'm proved wrong p
  16. Well the only accessory I use all the time are those silicon mats which you knew about even before I mentioned them, other than that rack)s0 are the only other thing I use. It will also depend on your cooking style - Amazon sell various Accessory packs which include various baking dishes for cakes, mini muffins, egg bites etc - worth picking up if you might see those procedures in your future. That said, the most important accessory you should save up for is a second Instant Vortex!!!!!! 😛 p
  17. @Anna N - as an aside - who do you order from? I do Walmart, $7.95 delivery charge, it would cost me more than that in gas - the other option I have is Zehrs which uses InstantCart they don't honor sale prices and prices may go up if the item you want will be substituted - they do have faster delivery (1 hour and 2 hour) - I like Walmart though because it seems more straight forward p
  18. Well the software is prone to failures/problems, but they aren't usually the "return it to the store" type errors - you may have to play with it, retry, adjust your settings - I think most of have had those kind of errors/problems but have persevered - the end result is worth it p

  20. Nope, I got mine in November of last year ☺️ p
  21. Yeah, if you want to dehydrate get a dehydrator - time may not change but capacity is its strength p
  22. One of the biggest mistakes people make when using an air fryer is overfilling - forget all the pictures showing the basket chock filled with fries or whatever - want to allow for air circulation - even shaking halfway through won't properly cook a full basket. @ElsieD - I would take the Instant guy's assurances with a grain of salt - I tried grilled cheese last night in the AF and checked online for time and temp - three different sites all suggested using toothpicks to anchor the bread if it was thin so it wouldn't blow off - I did a little experiment I have the Vortex - I placed 2 pill bottle caps (2 inch) on a rack to simulate almost dry apple slices - chose dehydrate @135F - the fan came on at a very low speed and I thought I would have to come back and rewrite this post - after about 1 minute the fan speed increased to "normal" and I could hear the caps bouncing around one had completely left the rack and ended up sideways between the rack and basket - for dehydrating the Vortex is a fail - might do jerky or fruit leathers but your petal will be in the wind - mind you I wouldn't consider using it for dehydrating because of its limited size ( i doubt you could fit a single apple sliced in it even using the stacked racks mentioned above) A purpose-built dehydrator does the job much more efficiently with a much larger capacity. btw the default setting for dehydrate was 8 minutes @135F - I doubt if anything would dry in that length of time, usually you're talking hours - I might be wrong as I assumed it came up as 8 minutes and not 8 hours - I didn't wait to see it change just the increase in fan speed - my bad☹️ A good accessory to ease clean-up, fits the Vortex: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B095P4525X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 p
  23. @mgaretz - where is "my Costco"?
