Such great advice!. Thanks Lana. I finally found a sheet pan with a rack that fits my small air fry oven. Its 9"x7.5". Found it on amazon as well as a 9" round pizza stone for small personal pizzas, calzones and Cubanos. ;) By the way, I love your apron and I gotta believe MR Lana has a matching Babaloo Ricky one?? :)
Hi Richard! Thanks for the kind words. Those sound like great accessories. I have a pizza stone for it as well but I haven't used it. I would love to know what you think of it and how well it works. Gs. lad you like my apron. My mom sent me 2 Lucy ones from her travels. My husband and I adore I Love Lucy, it's one of our favorites.
@@LanaUnderPressure I ran a batch of pizza dough in the bread machine last night and rolled out 8 pieces to 8.5 inch rounds. I'm going to work out a procedure for using the pizza stone in the small air fryer oven. I have found that cooking at a lower temp (maybe 350f) after an initial stone 400f preheat might work better. Keeping it at 400f for the whole bake doesn't seem to work well with the cheese. I'll let you know more as I work thru my crusts using different times and bake temps. OK I spent the day baking and eating pizzas :) Here's my recipe. I don't have any other way to get it to you, so I'm posting it here. Hope that's ok.

@@LanaUnderPressure Thank you for your information packed videos! Really appreciate all the work you put into your videos. I finally received mine from Amazon yesterday. I opted for the Omni Plus. I'm kinda a bit confused about the crumb tray on the new appliance though. This one has a rather flimsy and wobbly crumb tray. I'm new to Air-fryer Toaster ovens. I've used regular convection ovens before and never had a crumb tray that can be removed from the outside. So, I'm a bit concerned about the wobbly crumb tray on the Omni Plus I received. Is this supposed to be normal? 🤔 Or would the tiny gap caused by the wobbly tray release the heat inside the oven and result in unevenly cooked food? Please help! 😥😕
I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me.
I love all your videos and recipes!! I am also a Jewban (Cuban Jew), so nice to see all your demonstrations, very helpful! I just bought the Omni Plus and I love it!! Also bought the oil mister and love that as well. THANK YOU!!
Hola and Shalom my Jewban sister, lol. So glad you like my videos and find them helpful. I have a bunch of Jewish and Cuban recipes on my blog you might like. Happy cooking and stay safe. :)
Hi. It's on my list of things to do. I don't really like dehydrated food, so I really haven't made anything other than jerky (Cuabn and Terriyaki flavored). I'll be doing a video soon since everyone has asked. I also have a lot of Basil and herbs so I am working on that too. The problem is it takes so long to dehydrate so I have to put at least 2 -3 days just for one recipe. But I will get to it, I promise. :)
What a great question. Honestly, I have never cooked tofu in the air fryer oven or actually...ever. lol But for crispy textures I find air fry mode works best.
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words. The link is in the description below the video. Just click on the little upside down arrow and it will expand the screen. If you can;t find it let me know and I will send you a direct link. :)
Could you please tell me the best way to cook french Fries in the Omni. Do you think Omni is a good airfryer for french fries? I want to buy one, my first reason is to "air fryer" really good french fries😊and empanadas 😉😋😋😋 Thanks in advance for your reply. Congrats for your UA-cam Channel.
A question about the Omni Plus. I just got mine over the holidays, and I noticed that the Convection button on the oven's panel changes the fan speed from High to Low. The manuals that came with the Omni Plus don't talk about when to use High or Low when cooking. Any thoughts on when you should use each fan speed, if there's certain foods that benefit from a High or Low fan speed??
That's a great question. If I'm cooking food that I want to "air fry" or mimic frying in oil, I always use Hi. The only time I use Lo is when I'm baking and I don't want the food to over brown on top before the middle is done. In those instances I use Lo but I also will block the fan halfway through by using the black tray on the highest level.
My biggest issue is stuff dripping on the bottom elements and when I go use a option with bottom elements, not matter how much I clean it, there’s smoke.
Hi. I just did a new video on positioning the racks and trays. You can place the black drip tray however, I usually don't use the modes like Bake and Roast (in the Omni Plus) that use the bottom elements when cooking things that drip. What are you cooking?
@@LanaUnderPressure since all the functions use top and bottom elements except air fry , does that mean we can’t put the well aluminum foil unless it is air fry mode ? I think you said in newer models the roast function uses lower elements too ? So does that mean if I use the rotisserie function I can only use AF and the fan cannot be turned to low ?
Hi. If you go to my blog and look for my article on accessories for the Vortex and Omni, I have a link to it. I got it off Amazon but I have seen it at Walmart and other stores.
Hi. You certainly can. I think of the drip tray more like a false bottom that condenses the oven by making it smaller. This way the food cooks or dehydrates faster. Just make sure you have enough room between the tray and the food to get good air flow all around.
Seems to me like a huge design flaw with that bottom tray that's used for drippings... It's like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Looks like an absolute nightmare to clean the drippings out of the bottom of that fryer.
I really appreciate these videos because the manual that comes with the Omni Plus is really awful - and even their website manual hardly give any more help. I have one question: I wanted to broil a couple of burgers but have never used the broil function. In an ordinary oven, we need to leave the oven door open a bit. Is that true of the Omni plus as well,? Or do we just leave the door closed as with the other functions?
I am so glad my videos can be of help to you and thank you so much for watching them. You don't have to keep the door open on the broiler function. I suggest though that you use the Air Fry function at 375 for 10 - 16 minutes flipping when it syas. Place in the middle directly on the rack and put the black tray on bottom level or foil covering the bottom.

Thank you! The instruction set leave a lot to be desired! Trying the air fry for the first time tonight.
I totally agree. :) You are so welcome.

Lana can you please do an Omni Plus dehydrating video for us
Hi. It's on my list of things to do. I don't really like dehydrated food, so I really haven't made anything other than jerky (Cuabn and Terriyaki flavored). I'll be doing a video soon since everyone has asked. I also have a lot of Basil and herbs so I am working on that too.

Thanks for all the great tips Lana. Have you ever made steaks in your Omni? And if so what settings do you recommend?
Thanks for the insights! Wonder what would be best mode and method to cook Tofu. Please share if possible, trying make crispy tofu using Omni plus!
What a great question. Honestly, I have never cooked tofu in the air fryer oven or actually...ever. lol But for crispy textures I find air fry mode works best.
Thank you this video explains so much.
You are so welcome! Happy cooking and stay safe.
Can you use Corningware in the Omni Plus to bake and roast?.
These are such helpful tips!! Thank you!! I can't wait to start cooking more things in it
I'm so glad I could help. Happy cooking and stay safe!
Thanks. This is super helpful.
I'm so glad you liked it. Happy cooking and stay safe.

Can you bake with glass casoles
Does the bottom element heat up when airfrying chicken? Should I use the drip tray on the bottom?
Hi. It does great up on air fry mode. I prefer not to use the tray.
Hi I’m wondering where you found the other air fry basket to fry two things at once thanks!
Hi. If you go to my blog and look for my article on accessories for the Vortex and Omni, I have a link to it. I got it off Amazon but I have seen it at Walmart and other stores.
I can't get the cooking time it only goes up to 2 minutes. Please explain.
Do you use the drip tray in dehydrate mode?
Hi. You certainly can. I think of the drip tray more like a false bottom that condenses the oven by making it smaller. This way the food cooks or dehydrates faster. Just make sure you have enough room between the tray and the food to get good air flow all around.
Link to basket is a different basket not the one in your video
Thank you for letting me know. I will check the link.
Isn’t the coil on top another heating element? Does it get red?
Hi. Yes you are correct the coil is another heating element but it does not change color. It comes on in every mode but Toast.
Thank you for this video ! The user Manuel is useless😂
I totally agree about the terrible user manual. Thank you for your kind words and it is my absolute pleasure. Happy cooking and stay safe.
Is there a ceramic grill plate that fits this oven? Have they stopped selling this oven??
I think now they just sell the Omni plus 18L.
Can I put any ceramic grill plate in my Omni plus??
Nice Rack.
😂😂😂😂
Seems to me like a huge design flaw with that bottom tray that's used for drippings... It's like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Looks like an absolute nightmare to clean the drippings out of the bottom of that fryer.
What function would you not use foil or drip tray?
Hi. Any function where the bottom heating element comes on. I believe that would be Bake. Toast, and Roast in the Plus.
@@LanaUnderPressure what if you bake or roast something that drips? Do you just let it drip in there and clean it afterwards?
You would bake it in a pan or dish, I believe.
