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 KZfaq 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!

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!

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 KZfaqrs, you are very concise and to the point. Old geezers like me appreciate that. 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.

!50th Birthday gift for my wife. She is going to FREAK OUT! Thank you!!

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.

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

You're so right about the manual, very well explained and described, you just earn a subscribe. Keep up the great work.

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!

So happy that I found you and your easy to understand tutorial! Thank you and looking forward to watching more of your videos!

Thank you for your time in making this video so a person knows how to use the Omni...much appreciate

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!

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.

Awesome review! Thanks to this review, I am definitely purchasing the Instant Omni vs Vortex. Thanks for providing such helpful information.

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

Got one for Christmas and loving it. Your video helped me decide what to ask for. THANKS

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!

Thank you for this! I just got one as a house warming gift and I am enjoying it. This is a HUGE help!

Thank you so much for this video! Extremely Helpful!

So handy, thank you. Mine has been stuck in Celsius for over a year. Now back to normal. Thank you for all the info.

Lana! Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I am on my way to making some great meals because of your help.

Another great video Lana, so informative. Thanks so much!

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!

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!

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)

This was awesome. Thank you so much!

Great video...so helpful. I am still researching so this is very informative!

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.

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!

Fantastic guide. I got one last year and have been doing a lot of stuff wrong. you are a lifesaver lana!

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.

Thank you so much for sharing. This really helped me a lot

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

Best review ever. Thank you.

This was so helpful.

Thank you, cant wait to use my Omni.

Thank you! You just earned another subscriber to your website.

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!

Good information. I’m now a new subscriber

I actually misplaced the manual. Thank you for the tutorial.

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! 🤌🏼👌🏽

Great job!

Great video. Now I’m ready to use it!

Thanks for your great tutorial.

Informative. Thank you

Thank u for this video. I was gifted one and have no ideas how to use.

It was a gift and the people are happy with it.

Thank you!!

Thank you for this video I didn't know how to get my air fryer from celsius to fahrenheit thank you so much

Thank you so much for this video. Would you have a video for dehydrating with this?

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 😊

Great I find your channel, I just buy this oven (I buy the Omani plus) get a very useful information from you.

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

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 KZfaq 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!

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 💪💯

Whoever came up with that sound off function is my hero and the hero of all other midnight snackers

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 done 👍👌👍👍👍👍👍

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. 🤠

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?

Thank you thank you thank you

Thank you for responding to my comment. It really helps. One other question where do I place the cookie sheet and black pan?

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. :)

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

Loved the video thank you !! Where can I find the link to order the 12 x 8 pan and the basket

DANG I WISH I KNEW THIS VIDEO EXISTED B4 I ALMOST DESTROYED MY OMNI. 😆

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?

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!

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! 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!

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!

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.

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!

Do you know where I could get additional baking tray for this by chance?? I love this oven but for what I use it for I only use the one baking tray that comes with it.

Thanks for doing this. The manual is so lacking.

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!!

II agree about the lact of instructions . I made a rotisserie chicken and it came out great, but Im having trouble with cookies.

The people that disliked this video obviously have never seen that instruction manual

Well, You just answered my question....I should've watched the whole thing before asking....lol

Hello Lana! I was thinking about buying the Omni Plus. I love how it looks and features, my cousin has one and loves it. However, I'm hesitant because of the non stick coating inside. I was going to try and find an Omni because it doesn't, but then realized that the drip pan included with it apparently is covered with non stick coating so it kind of defeats the purpose of buying the Omni unless I use a different drip pain. What are your thoughts and also are the slow cook and proof features a trade off for the non stick? Thanks for your input!

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.

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

What are the interior measurements of this oven? How well does it "bake" cakes,desserts? As well as traditional oven?

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 don't think I need the plus version of the omni but the original one is difficult to find. Do you recommend the plus as better?

How is the toasting function? Does it toast evenly on both sides an in all positions?

Hello! Great video! Quick question regarding reheating. Can the Omni (not Omni Plus) be used to reheat in the same manner as a microwave? As in using plateware inside the oven (including paper plateware) to warm up ieftovers, etc) as you would in a microwave?

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!

I was wondering if you could direct me where I can buy original accessories or the ones that would work ? I only have the air frying basket. Thank you so much in advance

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?

HI Lana, Thanks for making this video - very helpful. Do you know if I need a certain level of clearance under my kitchen cabinets? I'm concerned the unit might get too hot to be under cabinets on my countertop or near a wall.

Can you adjust toasting to only use the top or bottom heat element? Like for bagels, i like the 'skin' side soft, and toast the inner 'meat' of the bagel. Or in this instance should i just use air fry, using only the top heat element?

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.

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.

Does it make “ticking” sounds when you operate the toaster oven (ex. When you open/close the door, adjusting setting etc)? If so, could the sounds be removed? Much love

thanks for this video!! the description says it can replace a microwave. could you actually put a microwave meal (e.g. plastic dish) in this on the reheat setting?
