Electric Vertical Hot Air Fryer Salter VertiCook View EK6534WHTVDE with Transparent Viewing Window

Salter VertiCook View EK6534WHTVDE is an electric vertical hot air fryer designed to cook with circulating hot air rather than large amounts of oil. The appliance has a transparent viewing window to monitor progress, simple controls for setting temperature and time, and a vertical basket layout that supports even airflow. The unit offers a 9L total capacity divided into two 4.5L baskets that are dishwasher safe and PFAS-free, includes a stainless-steel grill, and provides twelve preset cooking programs with a Sync & Match option. Its slimmer vertical footprint (approx. L 32cm × D 42cm × H 38cm) helps save countertop space and may fit under cabinets from 38cm height.

Advantages

The vertical hot air design promotes uniform circulation of hot air around food items, reducing the need for oil while aiming for crisp results. The transparent viewing window lets you check cooking status without opening the appliance, helping retain heat and maintain cooking conditions. Two separate 4.5L baskets allow simultaneous preparation of different dishes or staggered loading across four usable levels, and the dishwasher-safe, PFAS-free baskets simplify cleaning. Twelve presets and straightforward temperature and time controls make routine cooking tasks quicker and more consistent.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Frying and crisping frozen and fresh foods with minimal oil
• Roasting vegetables, poultry pieces and small joints
• Reheating leftovers without making them soggy
• Preparing multiple items simultaneously using the split-basket design
• Home kitchens where counter space is limited

When it may not be suitable

This design is intended for home use and smaller batch cooking; it may not be suitable for large gatherings requiring very large single-basket capacities. Very large roasts or whole poultry that exceed the internal dimensions of the baskets will not fit and would require an alternative oven or larger appliance. The transparent window and slim vertical profile are practical features but do not change the basic size limits for bulky items.

How to use

Place the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance above and around it. Load food into one or both 4.5L baskets according to capacity, taking care not to overcrowd so air can circulate. Select a preset program or manually set temperature and time based on the food type, then start the cooking cycle. Use the transparent viewing window to monitor progress without opening the unit; if needed, pause briefly to shake or turn food for even browning. After cooking finishes, allow the appliance to cool before removing baskets and accessories for cleaning. Baskets are dishwasher-safe, and removable accessories should be cleaned according to manufacturer care instructions.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure available countertop and under-cabinet clearance to ensure the appliance (approx. 32 × 42 × 38 cm) fits your space.
• Confirm the 4.5L basket sizes suit your typical batch sizes; large single items may not fit.
• Decide if the split-basket workflow and included grill meet your cooking style and recipe needs.
• Ensure access to a suitable mains outlet and consider ventilation during use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid overfilling baskets so hot air can circulate freely; use presets as a starting point and adjust time or temperature slightly based on food thickness and personal preference. Regularly clean baskets and the grill to maintain airflow and performance.
