Vortex 6QT: researched product profile

What it is, and who it might fit

An undivided basket suits food that benefits from one shared cooking surface. Larger advertised volume does not establish how many portions will lie flat.

Manual body names Vortex 6; SKU appears in the linked file name. Product-page dimensions are identical to the 140-3006-01 stainless version and may be shared copy.
