Cooking

The Omni Plus is a powerhouse countertop oven that you can trust to cook evenly and deeply.

What we love about it                                What you should know about it

By combining rapid air circulation with innovative golden quartz heating elements, the Omni Plus heats up quickly, and cooks way faster than regular ovens.

| The Omni Plus has a bit of a learning curve. Quartz elements use infrared light to cook, which produce more heat, much faster than a regular element.

Instant Tip: Try reducing your recipes’ cooking time and/or temperature by up to 25% to get the results you like best. The Omni Plus will remember the changes you make!

Check out the cooking timetables at instantappliances.com/instantpot-cooking- time for guidance, or visit our recipe site at instantappliances.com/recipes for fun, easy-to-follow instructions. You can also download the free Instant Pot app at instantappliances.com/app to search recipes, save favorites and more.

Cooking accessories

The oven rack is perfect for toasting bread and bagels, and baking pizza and big ol’ baked potatoes. You can place any oven-safe cookware on the oven rack, the same as you would in a regular oven.
Do not cover the oven rack when cooking. Place the oven rack or cooking pan on the top, middle, or bottom positions as your recipe recommends, or following the position indicators on the door. The cooking pan should be used for messy foods, like chicken tenders, herb roasted veggies and cheesy garlic bread.

Instant Tip: Line the pan with parchment paper instead of aluminum foil. Optionally, spray the pan or basket with non-stick cooking spray before adding food to help prevent sticking. The air fryer basket is perforated for airflow and can be used for most air fried or roasted foods, like chicken wings and coconut shrimp, or buffalo cauliflower bites and garlicky Brussels sprouts. Always place the air fryer basket on the cooking pan when inserting it into the oven.

CAUTION To avoid risk of fire, property damage and/or personal injury, do not spray oil into the cooking chamber, and never use aluminum foil.
