It doesn’t smoke. I put a piece of bread on the tray when I baked the bacon in it the first time because I read that it would. (I cooked 20 oz of bacon by cutting the pieces in half and putting them in the rotisserie basket. 1/4 of the bacon at a time.). The second time I air fried it and didn’t put bread and it didn’t smoke.

How many watts is this one

Good day! The Vortex Plus draws 1500 Watts. Hope that helps!

Can you toast in this airfryer?

I have the Vortex 7 in 1 which does not have a toast program. However, I make toast in it. The programs are just convenient ways to choose the best combinations of temperature and time for specific uses, but I hardly ever rely on those times. To toast bread, you need to watch the time very carefully, and turn the bread over since the underside will not get browned otherwise. The toasted cheese sandwiches made in the Air Fryer are favorites in our family. I spray the bread on one side with a little olive oil, (you could use butter) sometimes put some mayonnaise or other dressing on the other side, and put the cheese and anything else I want, like thin tomato slices between two slices of bread. I put it in, choose Air Fryer, change the time to 2 minutes and turn on the light to watch. One side will usually be toasted enough while the oven is pre-heating. Then I turn over, and watch to make sure it doesn't brown too much on the second side. These are incredibly crunchy toasted cheese sandwiches. If you get the time down right, they come out a pretty golden brown color.

How do I utilize the dehydrate function and what is the best food to use?

I use the dehydrator function a lot for vegetables. Go by dehydrating recipes found online/cookbooks etc. I have noticed though since this is an air fryer- the air circulates more, and so it often takes about 80-90% of a normal dehydrator’s recommended time; just make sure to space everything out and check it often! I typically use the lowest two racks and when I flip the food I also flip which tray is on top; the ones on top always dry quicker. For best foods I’ve noticed chili, vegetables, and pasta were the best to cook and dehydrate, although you can make whatever you want to that you could in a normal dehydrator! (I use these examples specifically for hiking/making shelf stable meals to quickly heat up if I’m too lazy to cook one night)
