    I am trying to find the rotisserie fetcher and can’t seem to find one. Does anyone know where i can get one at? Mine was a clearance item and I only paid 30.00 for it since it was a return and it didn’t have the fetcher in it. It works great just no way to find something for the rotiserrie.

      Oh no. I bet if you contacted Instant Pot customer service online they could send you one. I heard they are great with customer service. https://instantpot.com/instant-brands-contact-us/

    Can you use all three tray slots in the dehydration mode if you purchase an extra tray?

      Sure. As long as you rotate the trays a few times.

    Thanks for the tips! Any recommend skewer rack for vortex plus? I saw you recommend one for Omni but for vortex plus. Thanks!

      Hi. The one for the Omni sadly doesn’t fit the Vortex. But there is one that is a tall trivet with 4 skewers that will fit but it’s not for the rotisserie.

        Do you have a link? Since it doesn’t rotisserie, do you think it’s easier to use the sticks or simply use the baking pan which you posted at the bottom then rotate ourselves? Thanks again!

        Hi. Here is the link. https://amzn.to/2SvTOSn one thing someone mentioned was they bought the rotisserie kebab cage for their Vortex plus and just cut the metal skewers so it would fit. I haven’t tried that, but it’s an idea. If not I would just cook the meat on the tray and turn it twice yourself. Just use wooden skewers and flip.

    How do you turn off the oven when food is done? “Cancel” wouldn’t stop it.

    1. drlanaperez's avatar drlanaperez says:

      Hmmm cancel should do it. Try holding the + on the time and temp for 3 seconds to reset the whole unit. If that doesn’t fix it then I would call the company. They are very good at answering questions and if they can’t they will replace it.

    Question: In the air fry mode, the manual says it will automatically prompt you to turn your food half way through cooking time. I have only had mine for a week or so, but it has never prompted me. I am just wondering if yours does and if you might know how I can get mine to? Thanks!
