Electric Air Fryer Oven Salter VertiCook Ultra EK6642WHTVDE — countertop multi-function cooker

The Salter VertiCook Ultra EK6642WHTVDE is an electric countertop air fryer oven designed for multi-function cooking. Its vertical layout provides a compact footprint while offering a 9‑litre total capacity split into two 4.5‑litre dishwasher‑safe baskets, enabling multi-level cooking across four tiers. The unit includes a stainless‑steel grill and a control interface with nine preset cooking functions, including a Sync & Match mode for coordinated cooking cycles. Its slimmer profile (approximately L 29cm x D 42cm x H 37cm) is intended to fit under standard cabinets with 39cm clearance and to save counter space in small kitchens.

Advantages

The VertiCook Ultra combines air frying and convection oven functions to deliver faster, lower‑oil cooking for roasting, baking, grilling and reheating. Two removable 4.5‑litre baskets make it possible to cook different foods separately or increase capacity, and both baskets are rated dishwasher safe and PFAS‑free for easier cleaning. The vertical, multi‑level design increases usable cooking area while reducing the unit’s horizontal footprint. Preset programs and a Sync & Match option simplify routine tasks and help achieve repeatable results without manual time and temperature adjustments.

Suitable for

• Everyday family meals and small‑batch cooking where counter space is limited
• Roasting, baking and grilling of meat, vegetables and baked goods
• Reheating leftovers with crisping instead of microwaving
• Cooking two different dishes simultaneously on separate baskets

When it may not be suitable

This appliance is designed for small to medium portions; it is not intended for very large roasts or families requiring high single‑load capacity. The vertical configuration and basket sizes limit the maximum dimensions of cookware or whole items that can be placed inside, so very large trays or tall roasts may not fit.

Key specifications

• Total usable capacity: 9 litres (two 4.5‑litre baskets)
• Construction: vertical countertop design with stainless‑steel grill included
• Cleaning: dishwasher‑safe baskets, PFAS‑free materials for food contact components
• Functions: air frying and convection cooking with 9 preset programs including Sync & Match
• Approximate dimensions (external): 29 cm (L) x 42 cm (D) x 37 cm (H)

How to use

Place the VertiCook Ultra on a stable, heat‑resistant surface with adequate clearance from walls or cabinets. Load food into one or both baskets according to the recipe and select an appropriate preset program or manually set time and temperature. Use the stainless‑steel grill if a raised cooking surface is required. For simultaneous items that require different settings, use the Sync & Match feature when applicable or run separate cycles. After cooking, allow the appliance to cool before removing baskets and racks; baskets can be placed in the dishwasher for cleaning.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that the approximate external dimensions fit your intended countertop or under‑cabinet space (approx. 29 x 42 x 37 cm).
• Consider the 9‑litre split capacity and basket dimensions relative to the portion sizes and types of food you plan to cook.
• Ensure you are comfortable with a vertical basket style rather than a single large drawer or tray if you prefer whole‑item roasting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, preheat using the appropriate preset when recommended by a recipe and avoid overfilling baskets to ensure proper air circulation. Use the dishwasher‑safe baskets for routine cleaning and inspect seals and accessories periodically for wear. To maximize countertop space, store the unit where the specified clearance is available.
