You are God sent! I am a sucker for new “toys” in the kitchen and I bought me one today and the “instructions” was vague and I got to admit I was overwhelmed and scared so I came on UA-cam and came across your videos and all I can say is THANK-YOU for the very clear and dummy proof how to guide for folks like me! You’ve gain another subscriber!
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you, my internet was out for 2 weeks due to the tropical storm. Thank you so much you really made my day. I am so glad I could be of help and if you ever have any other questions or need any help. you can PM me on Facebook anytime. I usually respond right away now that my internet is back working, lol. Happy cooking and stay safe!
I agree with you, the user manual is useless for figuring out how to use this oven. I purchased one recently and was so happy you made this video! I tried to follow your rotisserie video to cook my chicken last week and I failed. I will need more practice with that one. THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting these instructions!
Thank you so much for your lovely words and I am so glad you like my videos. It took me a few tries to get the rotisserie trussing and cooking right. It's definitely a tricky thing. Happy cooking!
I have been reading reviews back and forth between the Omni Plus and the Crusinart. Thanks to you, I think I will be pulling the trigger on the Omni Plus later today. Unlike so, so many UA-camrs, you are very concise and to the point. Old geezers like me appreciate that. Thank You.
Thank you so very much. I can't express how grateful I am for your lovely and kind words. I'm glad you found my videos helpful and i think you are going to really enjoy the Omni. Happy cooking and stsy safe!
I just bought the Omni Pro Toaster Oven Air Fryer and am throwing out my Cuisinart "piece of junk" convection toaster oven. If I only ever make toast in my Omni Pro, I will consider it to be a win. Made a crustless quiche in my small corning ware dishes and it was perfect! Goodbye to burnt toast and other ruined dishes! Cuisinart does not deserve the reputation that it has earned. The racks are only at the top and bottom of the toaster oven. Because of their position, everything burns!
I used my Omni oven today to make homemade chocolate chip cookies. Your advice worked. I lowered the temp from 375 to 350 and baking time to 6 min. They came out perfect.! Now Im ready to try a cake again. This week I will be making a Turkey Breast. Keep coming with the tips and recipies, glad you are here to help. Have a great day and stay safe.
I rarely like and leave a comment but let me say, I have had this thing for two years and only ever toasted things in it and baked. This gave me such a better understanding of how to use. The user guide was very overwhelming for me. Thanks for this content.
this has to be THE BEST video I have found on this Omni Plus! Thanks so much!!! I will use it every time I cook in this thing (until I get it in my head), which is every day!
YOU ARE THE BEST, PERIOD!!!!! You give so much useful, detailed info in that one has to review your vids multiple time to obtain all the juicy information. Of course I subbed. Thanks
Not even at the end of this video. This woman is SUPERB. Wonderful, informative, cook-able and likeable. GREAT JOB! As the cook of the house. I had two of another brand that was a work horse for over 6 years used almost everyday. Finally in heaven. This review of the OMNI is Fantastico. If you are looking for an AGENT...Email me.
Wow, well thank you so very much! You really made my night and I am very humbled by your lovely compliments. So glad you are loving the Omni. Happy cooking and stay safe!
@@LanaUnderPressure You are very welcome. The only thing I have a concern with is those damn doors. I am thinking close pins when open to keep them from flopping around. The most important part and the doors are not on hinges to stay open. Baked 3 things Apple Pie= Banana Bread and Tuna Melts. Still looks brand new inside. You and I know what is gonna happen the first time I roast in in it. Oh well. Keep up the good work!
Lana, That was one of the best "how-to" videos I've seen on youTube. Congrats. Thanks so much. I am trying to buy an air fryer and you have me leaning toward the Instant Omni. Job well done. Many thanks. Steve
Lana, those brackets on the left side of the oven that you did not know what they were, they are to hold the trays from falling if you pull them partially out to check on the food
Thank God for you! I don't know how I'd use my Omni without your videos! Now I hope to find how to cook recipes in it! I'm going to check out your blog. Hoping that you have Omni recipes and instructions there for airfrying. PLEASE keep making your videos!
She's got them...for sure...you're going to love her blog...they send emails with every new recipe and each step WITH amazing photos are right in your email...then we can go to the blog to see others comments and leave any we want to share...it's really delightful...
So glad you cleared up where to put the so called baking tray when air frying! My book said the air fry basket is to go on the baking tray. You said it goes on the bottom and that makes sense to me.
I am so pleased you make these videos. I found you when I bought my Vortex Pro 7 months ago and your videos saved me a lot of frustration as I learned how to air fry. I have an Omni Plus being delivered this week and your videos take away all the concerns about using the new product. Thank you. :O)
So glad that I found your youtube series! I am getting my Omni in tomorrow and you have cleared up a lot of confusion for me! Your series are clear, concise and very easy to follow along with! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Happy cooking and stay safe and reach out any time you have a question. I have a blog and facebook page just for the air fryer ovens, where you can get answers to more questions.
You are such a Godsend. I am so grateful for the detail and care that you put into your guides on these products. So much valuable information that we would otherwise have to learn on our own by trial and error ( and maybe ruined recipes) without these tips. I have liked And Subscribed and can’t wait to try your recipes on the blog!
Awe thank you so very much! That really brings a smile to my face. I love teaching (I teach high school math) and I love helping to make people lives easier. Happy cooking and stay safe.
Thank you Lana!! So happy I found your site. I got the Omni as a Christmas present, and have struggled a bit with using it. I had some wings in the other night that started smoking!! I think some of the chicken juice sprayed on to the top heating element, the whole kitchen was full of smoke! This is very helpful! I will be checking out your blog and the rest of the video's!
I am sorry it took me so log to respond. Usually I can comment right away but things have been crazy in the Perez household. Oh no! It happens. I wouldn't use the top level to try and keep splatter from going onto the heating element. Hope they turned out well. Happy cooking and stay safe. :)
3 years later and they still don't show you how to use this oven. My manual shows putting the basket on the drip tray! Then the recipes tell you to insert pan on a specific "level". Do they show you which levels are which? NO. I am so grateful for this video because I am sure the basics are the same.
Awe thank you so much for your kind words. 😀 I made a mess the first few times I cooked in it too because I wasn't sure where to put the drip tray and what to use. I'm so glad my mistakes could help others. Happy cooking!
Yes! Just looked up this video since the manual was pointless. Bless you for your service ;-) I tried to put the air fryer basket in alone and was mystified (clearly needed to put the rack in). Drip tray wasn't explained at alllllll!!!!! (I definitely made a mess by not having that in first try airfrying breaded chicken, oh well.) This was so, so helpful!
Yay Nikki, I am so glad you found my video helpful. You are so right, the manual is just awful, lol. That's actually part of why I started the videos was to help people not have to go through all the trial and error I did because the manual was so useless. Stay safe and happy cooking!
That tip on how to go back to Fahrenheit cook mode or vice-versa was Clutch Sista...thank you so much somebody changed it accidentally and I couldn't figure it out for shyt🤣..God Bless 💪💯
My husband bought me the Instant Omni for my birthday last week, I had wanted one forever but was afraid to use it. I searched UA-cam and your videos caught my attention right away. Thank you so much for not only all of your hard work, but also for your positivity and the way you present your tutorials so even I can follow along! I have made notes from your videos and tried recipes, all of which I have loved (I have used my omni every day since I got it 😁) I can't wait to see what else you come up with for your fans to try! Quick question, I love it so much I have been thinking I'd like a second instead of waiting for a second item to finish before the first gets cold. Do you think it's worth it to invest in a second one? Thank you for all of your help, I am loving it!
First, Happy Belated Birthday!! What a great present. Well done to your hubby. And thank you so much for your kind words, they really made my day and I am so grateful that you found them helpful. As for buying a second one, well I have 3 instant pots, 1 vortex plus, 1 omni, 1 omni plus, and the crip lid and mealthy lid, lol so I am quite biased, lol. That said, I use my OMni and my Vortex Plus the most and often times together. One thing you need to keep in mind is I can run them both on the same circuit but the minute I try to plus anything else in, the breaker trips. So that is something you have to think about when you cook with 2. That aside I think if you have the room, go for it.
Can you please go over the "dehydrate' feature? It's not mentioned on the manual. I want to dehydrate fruits and veggies for healthier snacks. thanks so much!
Great suggestion and I do have it on my list. I don't eat a lot of dehydrated food so I haven't really worked on it a lot. I have made jerky and dried some herbs. But you aren't the only one to mention this and so I will try and make a video soon.
The metal things....when I am baking something heavy and I pull out entire rack to turn food over or add something, the metal things prevent the rack and dish from falling/tipping towards you. Thanks, love your videos!!
Lana Under Pressure: Hi Lana! Thanks for the great video! Will you be doing an updated version for the new Instant Pot Omni Plus 18L? I just bought one. 🤠
Thanks for the very informative, to the point video! Very appreciated! Seen a number of your other videos on it too.... Finally found one @ a moving sale & wanted info on using it.
Donald, thank you so much for the kind words and I am so glad you found my video helpful. I love these appliances but they do have a learning curve an I hoped that I could make it easier on others so they could enjoy them as much as I do. :)
@@LanaUnderPressure Lana, I have one more question for you. I've been searching all over the place, but I am unable to find additional accessories for the Omni Plus. Is there a way to purchase and additional drip pan and frying basket?
Thank you so much for this demonstration. I received mine for Christmas and was so excited and didn't know what I was doing lol. The manual has no information.
I'm really loving your videos I just pulled it out of the Box today and I've been trying a few things but I'm curious if you have a hard boiled egg instructions?
Are your videos on the Instant Pot website by chance? If not, they should be! I just bought this model yesterday and am so excited to use it but as you say, the user manual is sorely lacking in information. This is my first air fryer so your vids are MUCH appreciated! :-) I made a single slice of toast last night when I got it set up and had no idea what the number on the left was for. :-/ So thank you for the explanation. :)
Oh wow, thank you for your kind words and I'm so glad you found my videos helpful. They are not on their website, but I sure would love for them to be, lol.
Great video! Shared liked and subscribed! As a man I go head first & try it out! this video tutorial though is exactly what I needed! Thank you thank you thank YOU! 🤌🏼👌🏽
Hi Judy...you're going to L O V E being here on this channel seeing ALL the "How to's" with Lana showing us her favorite family recipes including her grandmother Lillian's favorites.. and she tries to help with every question anyone has....it's a special place to be ! Have fun Judy... share how it goes for you...I know I learn from every user's input... :) ~cheers~
Lana, thank you for doing these videos. I'd say you are a natural, but I'm sure a great deal of work goes into making it look effortless. After watching your video, I bought the Omni Plus. I'm hoping you can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong in making toast. When I first ran the toast cycle, 1 slice, darkest setting, it barely got hot, with no browning. I tried preheating for 4 minutes, putting in my bread and setting the slice count to 6 as I noticed that increased the time. The bread was hot and getting dry at the end, but not brown. I had to start the cycle a 3rd time, and then by 2-3 minutes into the 3rd cycle, it was medium brown. It also was pretty darn crunchy by that time. LOL I've tried it a total of 5 times with 2 types of bread and similar results. Do you think something is wrong with the programming or elements? To double check, I put two oven thermometers in the front and back and set it to bake, 350. When the preheat went off, the oven was under 275 degrees. By the end of the cycle, it was up to 350. But one needs that initial heat of 350 to properly bake a cake. If the oven really needs to preheat to perform its best, it seems like they should say so. I can send it back to Amazon and get another if this is not the normal performance. PS, the only time my top circular element gets hot is on broil. I tried broiling my toast but that didn't work too great either. Thank you for your help. The IP folks have yet to respond.
Awe thank you for your kind words. Honestly, I still use my toaster oven for toast. I don't find the Omni the best at toasting bread. One trick is to butter the bread before toasting and it really helps. Now the Omni doesn't use the fan on the toast setting and it also doesn't preheat, so I would place the bread in right away and then hit Toast mode. I will try and do a few slices and see what works best. :)
Hey Lana, I'm a new subscriber. Thank you so much for this video. I received an Instant Omni for Christmas and was so confused about the trays and rotisserie set up. I feel confident now. I'll be viewing many more of your videos 😊
Oh my thank you so much for letting me know, it really made me smile. I am so glad you found my videos helpful. The funny thing is I used to hate cooking but then I realized it was more that I hated not knowing how to do certain things and then scared I would ruin my meals. So I really hoped that in making these I could help people learn from my mistakes and successes, so they can enjoy it much more. :)
Ok. Thank you for tip on rack placement for cookies. I am going to try it soon. Made a cake the other day and the layers came out with a hump in the middle. Think I had them in the wrong place. Lol
Hi. Baking in an air fryer oven has a slight learning curve. The hump is due to the outer edge cooking faster than the middle so the outside stops rising but the inside and middle keeps on. Watch my video on rum cake, I show you some tips to keep that from happening. Also on my blog I have a recipe for pineapple upside down cake.
I completely agree about the cooking instructions that came with the oven, also, the website and app recipes are not really for this oven! Frustrating! I’d like to make boneless pork ribs. How would you recommend me to cook them? Thank you in advance!
It is super frustrating. But I guess if they made a better manual there would be no reason for me to make videos, lol. Actually I have a great recipe on my blog for Masitas de Puerco or fried pork chunks. So Yum!
For air frying I have realized after much use that it is better to put the basket directly on the drip Tray instead of the rack. Maybe it gets better airflow in a smaller space for it to circulate.
Can you do a video about using the air fryer to cook frozen foods? I have lots of frozen foods, such as fish, veggies and various meats, but most of the facebook recipe sites for this machine really don't address much about cooking anything frozen direct from the freezer in the air fryer. Also, your blog only addresses recipes for the Vortex. Can you add such there for the Omni Plus, as well? Thanks.
Thank you for the idea. The recipes that start with the Vortex, I did before the Omni came out and I just haven't had the time to add the Omni directions. That said, the time and temperature is usually the same. I will try and add more frozen foods.
Absolutely! I didn't use the black tray. What I do is place the rack on the very bottom position and then place my cookie sheet on that. I find that the black tray isn;t the best as a cookie sheet. I ahve pictures in this article that might help. lanaunderpressure.com/2020/05/20/instant-air-fryer-disney-carrot-cake-cookies-copycat/
Ah, cookies are a learning curve. The trick is to use the Bake function and make sure the fan is on LO. Also, reduce the temp by 25 degrees and the time by 25%. You also need to rotate because I noticed that the back gets hotter than the front.
Hi Lana, I just bought my Omni mostly because of your videos and making feel comfortable with it....and Hungry, LOL. I was just wondering, I have been around your website but is there anywhere else you can recommend for recipes. Even a book to buy or app or anything you would recommend. Thanks in advance!!
Hi Dominick, thanks so much for watching! as for books, there really aren't ones I know about for the Instant brand ovens. That said, you could convert any air fryer recipe and even oven recipe. A good place to start is the Facebook groups. people are always posting recipes there.
Hi Lana, Thank you for your tutorial. It was so very helpful! I do have a question regarding the air-fryer. I feel that with most recipes I follow, the Omni air-fryer is just too hot and my food burns. I've tried lowering the temp, but can't get the right balance. Any suggestions? TYIA!
I find that the drip tray is to far p even on the lowest level and the chicken hits it. That's' why I prefer to use foil covering the bottom and just use a mode that doesn't engage the bottom heating elements.
You are so welcome and I am glad you find my videos helpful. Let me know when you try the rum cake, I'm interested in knowing what you think. I just made my great grandma's banana cake in it and it came out awesome. Oh and a pineapple upside down cake that's too die for.
@@LanaUnderPressure Are you going to share Grandma Lillian's Banana Cake here on UA-cam :) I loved it in my email..and on your blog.. in fact it arrived just hrs ago... that's what brought me here... :)
Thank you. I enjoy watching you. I've been hunting for the right choice regarding a toaster oven/ air fryer. I have a larger family, six at home, so have to feed eight people. I'm really not a fan of batch cooking french fries, as french fries are only so good when they are hot, so, I need to be able to cook more in the fryer. What do you think, will this work for our family? Thank you Paula
Lana great job on your videos, lot of useful information. Really appreciate your efforts. I reading reviews on websites, saying plastic smell(not going away)? Have you are any of your followers mentioned about it. Is it only related to one mode(eg: air fryer?). How to avoid this?. Also please post where you got the heat resistant silicone mats? Have anyone tried baking two pizza at same time? Your response eagerly awaited. TIA
**I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. For some reason a lot of the comments have not been showing up in my email notifications. I usually respond in a day. ** Yes, that plastic smell is common. It is most likely residue from the factory. If you run it for about 20 mins on high it should burn off. If not, contact the company. They are very good at getting back to people. The silicon mat I bought off Amazon and I have a link to it in my accessories video. But you really could use any silicone mat as long as it is oven safe. As for 2 pizzas, I don't think you could fit both in at the same time and have them cook well. I haven't tried though. Hope this helps. Stay safe and happy cooking!
I loved your video but my question was not covered there and it is driving me crazy that i just got my Omni today and find I don’t always want the fan on when baking. Is there a way to turn it off?
** I am so sorry it took me so long to reply. I returned to teach at my son's high school to help with their teacher shortage due to COVID. It has really cut down on my time to do anything else. Sorry.** If you look in the description under my video for accessories or go to my blog and find the accessories post, it has a link to the rotating basket.
Thank you for this video! The temperature gauge for our normal oven is broken so our landlord got us this instead and now I know so much more about how to use it. I'll be visiting your blog for recipes and hope to see more videos!
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear about your oven but I'm glad he at least gave you an Omni. Honestly, I cook with the Omni more than my oven. If you ever have any questions, feel free to PM me anytime.
Hi. Excellent. Videos. I would like to know what the 2 hooks are for on the left side and when does the center heating element come on? I have never seen it on.
Hi. After using the oven for a while, I realized the hooks are to keep the trays from flipping when you pull them out and they have food on them. The top heating elements comes on with almost every mode, but it doesn't turn colors like the other heating elements do.
Thank you, I'm sure I will enjoy my new oven now that I know how to use it (comes with no instructions) I need information on the dehydrator feature! Times for different vegetables and plants. Where can I find this information? Thanks!
Hi! You are so welcome. I have to say that I don't dehydrate but there are a lot of people in my Facebook group who do and they can help with times and temperatures.
Hi! Thank you much for taking the time to explain all the nuances of this air fryer in detail! I was wondering if you posted the link for the 9x 13 pan you used and also the rotisserie basket? I can't find the links. Thank you!
Hi! Thank you so much for watching and I am so glad you found my videos helpful. On my blog I ahve a post on accessories and I think the links work there. If not, let me know and I will try and find a working one. lanaunderpressure.com/2019/11/10/accessories/
I watched your comparison video on the Omni and Vortex. You said that you found a rotisserie basket and a shish kabob skewer set that can be used. I couldn't find a link anywhere for them...can you please give links, I believe you said you got them on Amazon. I'm trying to decide which airfryer to buy between them and the Go Wise. Love your videos!

Lana thank you, thank you for making these videos. I've never had a plain toaster oven so this is all new to me. I have a question: I unboxed my new Omni Plus and ran the test on it that is in the user manual. The glass on the outside of the oven door got hot enough to put red marks on my knuckles when I accidentally touched it. I haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere. Is it normal that it would get so hot to the touch that it's painful?
First, you are so welcome! Second, oh no, I hippie you are OK? I've done the exact same thing. Yes, it's normal it gets very very hot. In my comparison video I talk about how the Vortex Plus is so much safer in that regard. They do say it gets hot in the manual but you are right, they could do a much better job warning people.
Hi Lana I purchased the Omni 11 today and noticed hot air coming from door are on air fry mode. Felt like it can really heat the kitchen up. Is that normal for the Omni Plus? Did not notice this with the vortex Thank you.
Hmmm, I have never had that issue. If it is steam that can happen on all the models when you air fry something with a lot of fat. I would reach out to the company. If they can't help you fix the issue, they will usually send you a new one.
Lana, did you say in this video you're website has an article for all of the modes and how to use them? I went to your site, but didn't find that. TY for your videos.
I am so sorry it took me so long to get back to you. My internet was out for 2 weeks due to the tropical storm and I am finally able to respond to everyone. Here is the link to the blog post about the modes for the Omni. And thank you for your kind words. lanaunderpressure.com/2019/09/25/instant-omnifinding-onechoosing-the-right-mode-and-getting-started/
I loved your video with instant omni plus 11-in-1 toaster oven & air fryer rotisserie chicken; I'm almost sold on getting one. But I've seen so many reviews like "Unbelievably toxic smell" and "horrible smells like burning plastic"...have you had that experience?
Hi. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I usually reply very quickly. The plastic smell is usually with the Vortex model. With the Omni sometimes it can have residue on the heating element leftover from the factory and with a 20 min test run on high it fixes that and never is an issue again. I personally haven't had that issue with any of my 3 models though.
@@LanaUnderPressure Thanks for taking the time to respond! I did bite the bullet and buy one and it did take me three or four sessions of running it while empty to completely eliminate odor. But I’m happy to say it’s gone and I am happy I bought it. A little intimidating, I just wish there was a good cookbook or something, don’t always have time to watch a video. All the cookbooks I’ve researched has gotten so many bad reviews that I just haven’t found one I think is worth investing in. Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly welcomed!
@@shellyhelmon3985 Hi! Cookbooks are hard to find for the air fryer ovens. I do have a blog with all my recipes including lots that don't have videos. You can print from there. My hope is to one day put them all into a book form.
Thank you for your videos. People are correct the User Manual is lacking substance! I just got my Omni Plus. I found that even when "OFF" after use, you can still hear the fan. You have to unplug and replug in order to have the fan turn off. This can't be right. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much and I am so glad you found my videos helpful. The Omni fan will run for a few minutes. It's like a cool off function, but it will turn off after a minute or so. The Vortex displays "Cool" when this happens, but the Omni doesn't so people think it isn't turning off, but it will. You don't need to unplug it to stop it. Hope this helps.
You are God sent! I am a sucker for new “toys” in the kitchen and I bought me one today and the “instructions” was vague and I got to admit I was overwhelmed and scared so I came on UA-cam and came across your videos and all I can say is THANK-YOU for the very clear and dummy proof how to guide for folks like me!

I have been reading reviews back and forth between the Omni Plus and the Crusinart. Thanks to you, I think I will be pulling the trigger on the Omni Plus later today.
Unlike so, so many UA-camrs, you are very concise and to the point. Old geezers like me appreciate that. Thank You.
Thank you so very much. I can't express how grateful I am for your lovely and kind words. I'm glad you found my videos helpful and i think you are going to really enjoy the Omni. Happy cooking and stsy safe!
Hey speak for yourself you old fart! ^5
I just bought the Omni Pro Toaster Oven Air Fryer and am throwing out my Cuisinart "piece of junk" convection toaster oven. If I only ever make toast in my Omni Pro, I will consider it to be a win. Made a crustless quiche in my small corning ware dishes and it was perfect!
Goodbye to burnt toast and other ruined dishes! Cuisinart does not deserve the reputation that it has earned. The racks are only at the top and bottom of the toaster oven. Because of their position, everything burns!
!50th Birthday gift for my wife. She is going to FREAK OUT! Thank you!!
I used my Omni oven today to make homemade chocolate chip cookies. Your advice worked. I lowered the temp from 375 to 350 and baking time to 6 min. They came out perfect.! Now Im ready to try a cake again. This week I will be making a Turkey Breast. Keep coming with the tips and recipies, glad you are here to help. Have a great day and stay safe.
I am so glad it worked out and I could be of help. That makes me so happy. Reach out any time and happy cooking!
So handy, thank you. Mine has been stuck in Celsius for over a year. Now back to normal. Thank you for all the info.
I rarely like and leave a comment but let me say, I have had this thing for two years and only ever toasted things in it and baked. This gave me such a better understanding of how to use. The user guide was very overwhelming for me. Thanks for this content.
Awe thank you so much! I'm so glad I could help.
Great information. I’m about to order mine.. My sister has one, and she loves hers…and recommended your videos.oh..and I saved this video to my Notes.
Awe thank you so much!
this has to be THE BEST video I have found on this Omni Plus! Thanks so much!!! I will use it every time I cook in this thing (until I get it in my head), which is every day!
Wow thank you so much!
YOU ARE THE BEST, PERIOD!!!!! You give so much useful, detailed info in that one has to review your vids multiple time to obtain all the juicy information. Of course I subbed. Thanks
Oh wow, I can't thank you enough. That really means a lot to me. I am so glad you found my videos helpful. Happy cooking and stay safe! 😊
Not even at the end of this video. This woman is SUPERB. Wonderful, informative, cook-able and likeable. GREAT JOB!
As the cook of the house. I had two of another brand that was a work horse for over 6 years used almost everyday. Finally in heaven. This review of the OMNI is Fantastico. If you are looking for an AGENT...Email me.
Wow, well thank you so very much! You really made my night and I am very humbled by your lovely compliments. So glad you are loving the Omni. Happy cooking and stay safe!
@@LanaUnderPressure You are very welcome. The only thing I have a concern with is those damn doors. I am thinking close pins when open to keep them from flopping around. The most important part and the doors are not on hinges to stay open. Baked 3 things Apple Pie= Banana Bread and Tuna Melts. Still looks brand new inside. You and I know what is gonna happen the first time I roast in in it. Oh well. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your time in making this video so a person knows how to use the Omni...much appreciate
You are so welcome and thank you for your kind comment! Stay safe and happy cooking.
You're so right about the manual, very well explained and described, you just earn a subscribe. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and if you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Happy cooking and stay safe.
It was a gift and the people are happy with it.
Thank u for this video. I was gifted one and have no ideas how to use.
Thank you so much for this video.
Would you have a video for dehydrating with this?
Lana,
That was one of the best "how-to" videos I've seen on youTube. Congrats. Thanks so much. I am trying to buy an air fryer and you have me leaning toward the Instant Omni. Job well done. Many thanks.
Steve
Steve, that was just the nicest compliment. Thank you so much and I am so glad you enjoy my videos!
Lana, those brackets on the left side of the oven that you did not know what they were, they are to hold the trays from falling if you pull them partially out to check on the food
Yep. After a while of using it I realized that. :)
Thank God for you! I don't know how I'd use my Omni without your videos! Now I hope to find how to cook recipes in it! I'm going to check out your blog. Hoping that you have Omni recipes and instructions there for airfrying. PLEASE keep making your videos!
Awe thank you so much. I definitely have detailed recipes and will be adding more. Glad I could help Happy cooking. :)
She's got them...for sure...you're going to love her blog...they send emails with every new
recipe and each step WITH amazing photos are right in your email...then we can go to the
blog to see others comments and leave any we want to share...it's really delightful...
So glad you cleared up where to put the so called baking tray when air frying! My book said the air fry basket is to go on the baking tray. You said it goes on the bottom and that makes sense to me.
Whoever came up with that sound off function is my hero and the hero of all other midnight snackers
Heck yeah! lol
I am so pleased you make these videos. I found you when I bought my Vortex Pro 7 months ago and your videos saved me a lot of frustration as I learned how to air fry. I have an Omni Plus being delivered this week and your videos take away all the concerns about using the new product. Thank you. :O)
Awe thank you so much for your kind words and I am so glad I could help. Happy cooking and stay safe!
So happy that I found you and your easy to understand tutorial! Thank you and looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Awe you are so welcome and thanks so much for watching! Happy cooking and stay safe.
So glad that I found your youtube series! I am getting my Omni in tomorrow and you have cleared up a lot of confusion for me! Your series are clear, concise and very easy to follow along with! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Happy cooking and stay safe and reach out any time you have a question. I have a blog and facebook page just for the air fryer ovens, where you can get answers to more questions.
Fantastic guide. I got one last year and have been doing a lot of stuff wrong. you are a lifesaver lana!
I am so glad I could help! Stay safe and happy cooking.
You are such a Godsend. I am so grateful for the detail and care that you put into your guides on these products. So much valuable information that we would otherwise have to learn on our own by trial and error ( and maybe ruined recipes) without these tips. I have liked And Subscribed and can’t wait to try your recipes on the blog!
Awe thank you so very much! That really brings a smile to my face. I love teaching (I teach high school math) and I love helping to make people lives easier. Happy cooking and stay safe.
What about dehydrating in the Omni?
This was awesome. Thank you so much!
Thank you Lana!! So happy I found your site. I got the Omni as a Christmas present, and have struggled a bit with using it. I had some wings in the other night that started smoking!! I think some of the chicken juice sprayed on to the top heating element, the whole kitchen was full of smoke!
This is very helpful! I will be checking out your blog and the rest of the video's!
I am sorry it took me so log to respond. Usually I can comment right away but things have been crazy in the Perez household.
Oh no! It happens. I wouldn't use the top level to try and keep splatter from going onto the heating element. Hope they turned out well. Happy cooking and stay safe. :)
@@LanaUnderPressure
Thank you!
Great video...so helpful. I am still researching so this is very informative!
3 years later and they still don't show you how to use this oven. My manual shows putting the basket on the drip tray! Then the recipes tell you to insert pan on a specific "level". Do they show you which levels are which? NO. I am so grateful for this video because I am sure the basics are the same.
I'm so glad I could help. I actually made that video because I was frustrated that there was no real instructions. lol
Thank you for this! I just got one as a house warming gift and I am enjoying it. This is a HUGE help!
You are so welcome and I am so glad it was helpful. Happy cooking and stay safe.
Thank you for this video I didn't know how to get my air fryer from celsius to fahrenheit thank you so much
Glad I could help!
Love this tutorial! I wish I had watched it before air frying slightly drippy, marinated tofu - WITHOUT the drip tray! Live, learn, and watch Lana.
Awe thank you so much for your kind words. 😀 I made a mess the first few times I cooked in it too because I wasn't sure where to put the drip tray and what to use. I'm so glad my mistakes could help others. Happy cooking!
Yes! Just looked up this video since the manual was pointless. Bless you for your service ;-) I tried to put the air fryer basket in alone and was mystified (clearly needed to put the rack in). Drip tray wasn't explained at alllllll!!!!! (I definitely made a mess by not having that in first try airfrying breaded chicken, oh well.) This was so, so helpful!
Yay Nikki, I am so glad you found my video helpful. You are so right, the manual is just awful, lol. That's actually part of why I started the videos was to help people not have to go through all the trial and error I did because the manual was so useless. Stay safe and happy cooking!
That tip on how to go back to Fahrenheit cook mode or vice-versa was Clutch Sista...thank you so much somebody changed it accidentally and I couldn't figure it out for shyt🤣..God Bless 💪💯
Lol you welcome!!! I got you.
DANG I WISH I KNEW THIS VIDEO EXISTED B4 I ALMOST DESTROYED MY OMNI. 😆
Good information. I’m now a new subscriber
Best review ever. Thank you.
Wow thank you so much! You really made my day!
Great job!
Thank you so much!
Thank you! You just earned another subscriber to your website.
Awesome, thank you!
My husband bought me the Instant Omni for my birthday last week, I had wanted one forever but was afraid to use it. I searched UA-cam and your videos caught my attention right away. Thank you so much for not only all of your hard work, but also for your positivity and the way you present your tutorials so even I can follow along! I have made notes from your videos and tried recipes, all of which I have loved (I have used my omni every day since I got it 😁) I can't wait to see what else you come up with for your fans to try! Quick question, I love it so much I have been thinking I'd like a second instead of waiting for a second item to finish before the first gets cold. Do you think it's worth it to invest in a second one? Thank you for all of your help, I am loving it!
First, Happy Belated Birthday!! What a great present. Well done to your hubby. And thank you so much for your kind words, they really made my day and I am so grateful that you found them helpful. As for buying a second one, well I have 3 instant pots, 1 vortex plus, 1 omni, 1 omni plus, and the crip lid and mealthy lid, lol so I am quite biased, lol. That said, I use my OMni and my Vortex Plus the most and often times together. One thing you need to keep in mind is I can run them both on the same circuit but the minute I try to plus anything else in, the breaker trips. So that is something you have to think about when you cook with 2. That aside I think if you have the room, go for it.

Can you please go over the "dehydrate' feature? It's not mentioned on the manual. I want to dehydrate fruits and veggies for healthier snacks. thanks so much!
Great suggestion and I do have it on my list. I don't eat a lot of dehydrated food so I haven't really worked on it a lot. I have made jerky and dried some herbs. But you aren't the only one to mention this and so I will try and make a video soon.
Yes, that’s what I’m looking for too!
The metal things....when I am baking something heavy and I pull out entire rack to turn food over or add something, the metal things prevent the rack and dish from falling/tipping towards you. Thanks, love your videos!!
Well that makes sense. lol. That's always been my one complaint, it sure would be nice if they explained more in their user manuals. :)
Lana Under Pressure: Hi Lana! Thanks for the great video! Will you be doing an updated version for the new Instant Pot Omni Plus 18L? I just bought one. 🤠
Hi. I went back to teaching full time, so I won't be able to do videos until the summer. But I sure will look into it. Great idea!
Thank you!!
Awesome review! Thanks to this review, I am definitely purchasing the Instant Omni vs Vortex. Thanks for providing such helpful information.
Thanks for the very informative, to the point video! Very appreciated! Seen a number of your other videos on it too.... Finally found one @ a moving sale & wanted info on using it.
Lana! Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I am on my way to making some great meals because of your help.
Donald, thank you so much for the kind words and I am so glad you found my video helpful. I love these appliances but they do have a learning curve an I hoped that I could make it easier on others so they could enjoy them as much as I do. :)
@@LanaUnderPressure
Lana, I have one more question for you. I've been searching all over the place, but I am unable to find additional accessories for the Omni Plus. Is there a way to purchase and additional drip pan and frying basket?
Thank you so much for this demonstration. I received mine for Christmas and was so excited and didn't know what I was doing lol. The manual has no information.
You are so welcome! Happy cooking!
I actually misplaced the manual. Thank you for the tutorial.
You can an online downloadable manual. Do a search for Instant Omni or Omni Plus oven manual. Hope this helps.
Great video. Now I’m ready to use it!
Yay! Happy cooking and stay safe.
Thank you, cant wait to use my Omni.
I'm really loving your videos I just pulled it out of the Box today and I've been trying a few things but I'm curious if you have a hard boiled egg instructions?
Got one for Christmas and loving it. Your video helped me decide what to ask for. THANKS
Yay! Merry belated Christmas and happy cooking with your new present.
Thanks for your great tutorial.
It is my pleasure and I am so glad you enjoy them and find the useful. Happy cooking and stay safe.
Thank you so much for sharing. This really helped me a lot
You ate so welcome!!
Thank you so much for this video! Extremely Helpful!
Are your videos on the Instant Pot website by chance? If not, they should be! I just bought this model yesterday and am so excited to use it but as you say, the user manual is sorely lacking in information. This is my first air fryer so your vids are MUCH appreciated! :-) I made a single slice of toast last night when I got it set up and had no idea what the number on the left was for. :-/ So thank you for the explanation. :)
Oh wow, thank you for your kind words and I'm so glad you found my videos helpful. They are not on their website, but I sure would love for them to be, lol.
Great video! Shared liked and subscribed! As a man I go head first & try it out! this video tutorial though is exactly what I needed! Thank you thank you thank YOU! 🤌🏼👌🏽
Another great video Lana, so informative. Thanks so much!
Awe thank you and you are so very welcome!
The people that disliked this video obviously have never seen that instruction manual
Haha, right? That was the reason I made these, the manual is terrible.
Thank you thank you thank you
Great I find your channel, I just buy this oven (I buy the Omani plus) get a very useful information from you.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for the kind words and happy cooking!
Hi Judy...you're going to L O V E being here on this channel seeing ALL the "How to's"
with Lana showing us her favorite family recipes including her grandmother Lillian's favorites..
and she tries to help with every question anyone has....it's a special place to be ! Have fun Judy... share how it goes for you...I know I learn from every user's input... :) ~cheers~
Lana, thank you for doing these videos. I'd say you are a natural, but I'm sure a great deal of work goes into making it look effortless.
After watching your video, I bought the Omni Plus. I'm hoping you can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong in making toast. When I first ran the toast cycle, 1 slice, darkest setting, it barely got hot, with no browning. I tried preheating for 4 minutes, putting in my bread and setting the slice count to 6 as I noticed that increased the time. The bread was hot and getting dry at the end, but not brown. I had to start the cycle a 3rd time, and then by 2-3 minutes into the 3rd cycle, it was medium brown. It also was pretty darn crunchy by that time. LOL I've tried it a total of 5 times with 2 types of bread and similar results. Do you think something is wrong with the programming or elements? To double check, I put two oven thermometers in the front and back and set it to bake, 350. When the preheat went off, the oven was under 275 degrees. By the end of the cycle, it was up to 350. But one needs that initial heat of 350 to properly bake a cake. If the oven really needs to preheat to perform its best, it seems like they should say so.
I can send it back to Amazon and get another if this is not the normal performance. PS, the only time my top circular element gets hot is on broil. I tried broiling my toast but that didn't work too great either. Thank you for your help. The IP folks have yet to respond.
Awe thank you for your kind words. Honestly, I still use my toaster oven for toast. I don't find the Omni the best at toasting bread. One trick is to butter the bread before toasting and it really helps. Now the Omni doesn't use the fan on the toast setting and it also doesn't preheat, so I would place the bread in right away and then hit Toast mode. I will try and do a few slices and see what works best. :)
Hey Lana,
I'm a new subscriber. Thank you so much for this video. I received an Instant Omni for Christmas and was so confused about the trays and rotisserie set up. I feel confident now. I'll be viewing many more of your videos 😊
Oh my thank you so much for letting me know, it really made me smile. I am so glad you found my videos helpful. The funny thing is I used to hate cooking but then I realized it was more that I hated not knowing how to do certain things and then scared I would ruin my meals. So I really hoped that in making these I could help people learn from my mistakes and successes, so they can enjoy it much more. :)
This was so helpful.
The two little brackets on the left side of the unit are to keep the racks from falling out.
Ok. Thank you for tip on rack placement for cookies. I am going to try it soon. Made a cake the other day and the layers came out with a hump in the middle. Think I had them in the wrong place. Lol
Hi. Baking in an air fryer oven has a slight learning curve. The hump is due to the outer edge cooking faster than the middle so the outside stops rising but the inside and middle keeps on. Watch my video on rum cake, I show you some tips to keep that from happening. Also on my blog I have a recipe for pineapple upside down cake.
I completely agree about the cooking instructions that came with the oven, also, the website and app recipes are not really for this oven! Frustrating! I’d like to make boneless pork ribs. How would you recommend me to cook them? Thank you in advance!
It is super frustrating. But I guess if they made a better manual there would be no reason for me to make videos, lol. Actually I have a great recipe on my blog for Masitas de Puerco or fried pork chunks. So Yum!
Thanks for doing this. The manual is so lacking.
My pleasure. 😀
For air frying I have realized after much use that it is better to put the basket directly on the drip Tray instead of the rack. Maybe it gets better airflow in a smaller space for it to circulate.
Less dishes to clean as well
Great tip!
Can you do a video about using the air fryer to cook frozen foods? I have lots of frozen foods, such as fish, veggies and various meats, but most of the facebook recipe sites for this machine really don't address much about cooking anything frozen direct from the freezer in the air fryer. Also, your blog only addresses recipes for the Vortex. Can you add such there for the Omni Plus, as well? Thanks.
Thank you for the idea. The recipes that start with the Vortex, I did before the Omni came out and I just haven't had the time to add the Omni directions. That said, the time and temperature is usually the same. I will try and add more frozen foods.
Thank you for responding to my comment. It really helps. One other question where do I place the cookie sheet and black pan?
Absolutely! I didn't use the black tray. What I do is place the rack on the very bottom position and then place my cookie sheet on that. I find that the black tray isn;t the best as a cookie sheet. I ahve pictures in this article that might help. lanaunderpressure.com/2020/05/20/instant-air-fryer-disney-carrot-cake-cookies-copycat/
II agree about the lact of instructions . I made a rotisserie chicken and it came out great, but Im having trouble with cookies.
Ah, cookies are a learning curve. The trick is to use the Bake function and make sure the fan is on LO. Also, reduce the temp by 25 degrees and the time by 25%. You also need to rotate because I noticed that the back gets hotter than the front.
Hi Lana, I just bought my Omni mostly because of your videos and making feel comfortable with it....and Hungry, LOL. I was just wondering, I have been around your website but is there anywhere else you can recommend for recipes. Even a book to buy or app or anything you would recommend. Thanks in advance!!
Hi Dominick, thanks so much for watching! as for books, there really aren't ones I know about for the Instant brand ovens. That said, you could convert any air fryer recipe and even oven recipe. A good place to start is the Facebook groups. people are always posting recipes there.
Hi Lana, Thank you for your tutorial. It was so very helpful! I do have a question regarding the air-fryer. I feel that with most recipes I follow, the Omni air-fryer is just too hot and my food burns. I've tried lowering the temp, but can't get the right balance. Any suggestions? TYIA!
Isn’t possible to put a dripping tray at the bottom while rotissering a whole chicken?
I find that the drip tray is to far p even on the lowest level and the chicken hits it. That's' why I prefer to use foil covering the bottom and just use a mode that doesn't engage the bottom heating elements.
Well done 👍👌👍👍👍👍👍
Awe thank you so much! 😁🥰
Thanks for sharing, you are such a sweetheart and I love your videos:) I’m still really wanting to try your rum cake recipe 🍰🤤 keep up the good work!
You are so welcome and I am glad you find my videos helpful. Let me know when you try the rum cake, I'm interested in knowing what you think. I just made my great grandma's banana cake in it and it came out awesome. Oh and a pineapple upside down cake that's too die for.
@@LanaUnderPressure Are you going to share Grandma Lillian's Banana Cake
here on UA-cam :) I loved it in my email..and on your blog.. in fact it arrived just
hrs ago... that's what brought me here... :)
Thank you. I enjoy watching you. I've been hunting for the right choice regarding a toaster oven/ air fryer. I have a larger family, six at home, so have to feed eight people. I'm really not a fan of batch cooking french fries, as french fries are only so good when they are hot, so, I need to be able to cook more in the fryer. What do you think, will this work for our family? Thank you
Paula
Hi. It's the biggest you can get. To make a whole bag of fries you can get a scud air fry basket then stack them. Watch my accessories video.
@@LanaUnderPressure thank you
Lana great job on your videos, lot of useful information. Really appreciate your efforts. I reading reviews on websites, saying plastic smell(not going away)? Have you are any of your followers mentioned about it. Is it only related to one mode(eg: air fryer?). How to avoid this?. Also please post where you got the heat resistant silicone mats? Have anyone tried baking two pizza at same time? Your response eagerly awaited. TIA
**I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. For some reason a lot of the comments have not been showing up in my email notifications. I usually respond in a day. **
Yes, that plastic smell is common. It is most likely residue from the factory. If you run it for about 20 mins on high it should burn off. If not, contact the company. They are very good at getting back to people. The silicon mat I bought off Amazon and I have a link to it in my accessories video. But you really could use any silicone mat as long as it is oven safe. As for 2 pizzas, I don't think you could fit both in at the same time and have them cook well. I haven't tried though. Hope this helps. Stay safe and happy cooking!
@@LanaUnderPressure appreciate your help. Your videos are informative and detailed. Keep it going, it helps lot of us.
I am still confused on the hi lo convection fan. Not sure what to use. Thanks
I loved your video but my question was not covered there and it is driving me crazy that i just got my Omni today and find I don’t always want the fan on when baking. Is there a way to turn it off?
Can you post again where to get the rotisserie basket for Omni plus please
** I am so sorry it took me so long to reply. I returned to teach at my son's high school to help with their teacher shortage due to COVID. It has really cut down on my time to do anything else. Sorry.**
If you look in the description under my video for accessories or go to my blog and find the accessories post, it has a link to the rotating basket.
Can they turn off the fan when you use bake function ?
Well I guess if you bake while mad it isn't much fun. But I never want to turn off the fun, lol. :)
Informative. Thank you
Thank you for this video! The temperature gauge for our normal oven is broken so our landlord got us this instead and now I know so much more about how to use it. I'll be visiting your blog for recipes and hope to see more videos!
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear about your oven but I'm glad he at least gave you an Omni. Honestly, I cook with the Omni more than my oven. If you ever have any questions, feel free to PM me anytime.
Hi. Excellent. Videos. I would like to know what the 2 hooks are for on the left side and when does the center heating element come on? I have never seen it on.
Hi. After using the oven for a while, I realized the hooks are to keep the trays from flipping when you pull them out and they have food on them. The top heating elements comes on with almost every mode, but it doesn't turn colors like the other heating elements do.
Thank you, I'm sure I will enjoy my new oven now that I know how to use it (comes with no instructions) I need information on the dehydrator feature! Times for different vegetables and plants. Where can I find this information? Thanks!
Hi! You are so welcome. I have to say that I don't dehydrate but there are a lot of people in my Facebook group who do and they can help with times and temperatures.
Me too and that's why I'm here watching this video. I don't have FB (many don't or quit FB) so is there another way to get this information? Thanks 😊
Hi! Thank you much for taking the time to explain all the nuances of this air fryer in detail! I was wondering if you posted the link for the 9x 13 pan you used and also the rotisserie basket? I can't find the links. Thank you!

Lana thank you, thank you for making these videos. I've never had a plain toaster oven so this is all new to me. I have a question: I unboxed my new Omni Plus and ran the test on it that is in the user manual. The glass on the outside of the oven door got hot enough to put red marks on my knuckles when I accidentally touched it. I haven’t seen that mentioned anywhere. Is it normal that it would get so hot to the touch that it's painful?
First, you are so welcome! Second, oh no, I hippie you are OK? I've done the exact same thing. Yes, it's normal it gets very very hot. In my comparison video I talk about how the Vortex Plus is so much safer in that regard. They do say it gets hot in the manual but you are right, they could do a much better job warning people.
Hi Lana I purchased the Omni 11 today and noticed hot air coming from door are on air fry mode. Felt like it can really heat the kitchen up. Is that normal for the Omni Plus? Did not notice this with the vortex
Thank you.
Hmmm, I have never had that issue. If it is steam that can happen on all the models when you air fry something with a lot of fat. I would reach out to the company. If they can't help you fix the issue, they will usually send you a new one.
Lana, did you say in this video you're website has an article for all of the modes and how to use them? I went to your site, but didn't find that. TY for your videos.
I am so sorry it took me so long to get back to you. My internet was out for 2 weeks due to the tropical storm and I am finally able to respond to everyone. Here is the link to the blog post about the modes for the Omni. And thank you for your kind words. lanaunderpressure.com/2019/09/25/instant-omnifinding-onechoosing-the-right-mode-and-getting-started/
@@LanaUnderPressure glad you're back online and ok. How terrible, and thank you
I loved your video with instant omni plus 11-in-1 toaster oven & air fryer rotisserie chicken; I'm almost sold on getting one. But I've seen so many reviews like "Unbelievably toxic smell" and "horrible smells like burning plastic"...have you had that experience?
Hi. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I usually reply very quickly. The plastic smell is usually with the Vortex model. With the Omni sometimes it can have residue on the heating element leftover from the factory and with a 20 min test run on high it fixes that and never is an issue again. I personally haven't had that issue with any of my 3 models though.
@@LanaUnderPressure Thanks for taking the time to respond! I did bite the bullet and buy one and it did take me three or four sessions of running it while empty to completely eliminate odor. But I’m happy to say it’s gone and I am happy I bought it. A little intimidating, I just wish there was a good cookbook or something, don’t always have time to watch a video. All the cookbooks I’ve researched has gotten so many bad reviews that I just haven’t found one I think is worth investing in. Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly welcomed!
@@shellyhelmon3985 Hi! Cookbooks are hard to find for the air fryer ovens. I do have a blog with all my recipes including lots that don't have videos. You can print from there. My hope is to one day put them all into a book form.
Thank you for your videos. People are correct the User Manual is lacking substance! I just got my Omni Plus. I found that even when "OFF" after use, you can still hear the fan. You have to unplug and replug in order to have the fan turn off. This can't be right. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much and I am so glad you found my videos helpful. The Omni fan will run for a few minutes. It's like a cool off function, but it will turn off after a minute or so. The Vortex displays "Cool" when this happens, but the Omni doesn't so people think it isn't turning off, but it will. You don't need to unplug it to stop it. Hope this helps.
@@LanaUnderPressure you are awesome to reply that quickly! Thank you!
How do you change the time on bake 325? I cannot seem to change the time it will not go above 2 mins.
Can we air fry with 2 pans at once?
Yep but make sure to rotate them and leave room between the food.
Loved the video thank you !! Where can I find the link to order the 12 x 8 pan and the basket
I believe FoodNetwork sells a similar pan. I know that Kohl's carries them.
What pans can I use in broil? Lodge pans.
