what's up culinary geeks today it's time
for
an air fryer review today we're gonna
review the Cosori Air
fryer 5.8 quart this is the
xl version the bigger Cosori Air fryer
typical pot
shape for this Air Fryer it is in a fry that
connects
with wi-fi it has an app that can freely
be freely downloaded
for ios and android and let's check this
out
the Cosori air fryer that i have is the
black version
it is the Cosori Air Fryer 5.8 quart is pretty big
now the first thing comes a bunch of
things in the in the box
like a manual another stuff what we want
to see here is when we connect
we have this blue light here that
invites us to click
and turn the cosori air fryer on as you
know i'm go
i used the Cosori Air Fryer for a long time
for about three months
i've been cooking a lot of recipes i'm
gonna drop for you link down below
with the playlist of the Cosori Air Fryer
where you can see a lot of recipes from
french fries to a lot of wings and i
just finished a video for the chicken
tenders
lots and lots of recipes that you can
check it out i also made a comparison
between the Cosori Air Fryer and the
philips airfryer in a in airfryer
chicken wings battle i still think after
three months
that the airfryer from philips
delivers a slightly slightly better
result
but the cosori air fryer is an excellent
fryer and i'm gonna give to you
the reason why you should buy and why
you should probably buy this cosori air
fryer
and choose something else instead the
price as i'm speaking today it's about
120 dollars
i'm gonna drop for you a link down below
to buy straight from uh from amazon
and uh you can choose different colors
so there is like
a black color the burgundy red color and
white
and you have the opportunity to choose
the smart version that
connects also with alexa like mine
or choose another version that doesn't
connect with alexa
now let's go back to this we turn it on
our cosori air fryer
we have a bunch of options
the bunch of options that we have it's
about cooking options
so we can just you know cooking fish
steak etc
and utilizing the preset options i
strongly
uh discourage you to do that you want to
use the preset function
but for any air fryer there not only the cosori
because basically the problem here is
they don't know the thickness of your
stack
they don't know the thickness of your
chicken breast so it is
like an indication for you but then
there are like many factor in place
and as always two things that you have
to do
one is check halfway through and flip it
in most of the case for example
and the second one is the plate now one
of the best
thing for me of this cosori air fryer is
the pre-heat
is the pre-heat function because
preheating an air fryer it's making
makes the difference whatever other
fryer says whatever
um you know they suggest out there i
strongly encourage you to use the
preheat function
and mainly when we start any of the
program out there
for example if we start a fish program
where we suggest 350 at eight minutes
and we go start this is has been already
preheated but in most of the case
what the cosori air fryer does is three hits
it starts and now you can also hear
um a little bit the
noise of the cosori air fryer
print function is absolutely a positive
thing
another positive thing that i really
like about the cosori air fryer
is about the shape i think it is pretty
compact design
it is outside it's the black version i
really like it as this texture
i like it it is plastic outside which is
not necessarily a bad thing right so
when you open the air fryer
inside you have this
basket here as you can see there are
like
two baskets now the
basket it's pretty big so you can feel
easily
one pound of chicken wings you can
easily feel a couple of chicken breasts
you can easily cook um half pound one
pound of
french fries it is ideal for me this
size for family up to four
people i would recommend to have uh
you know in case you have a larger party
to pre-cook because
you don't want as always to overcrowd
the air fryer positive side again
nice design great creating
functionality and the capacity it's
for me it's it's great now i like the
fact that
the basket is
sort of like i don't know if it's teflon
or something like that probably
basket is no stick
and is a metal so it's it's pretty good
inside as well
now inside there is um as you can see
i've been using this
uh i just finished to record a video
about chicken tenders and i'm gonna drop
through
a link down below to check this as you
can see also the older basket
is metal and it's no steak it has this
design here
um with this pattern that i think i
believe
it's been designed for helping the air
to flow
and also the basket has this design so
it has this vent here open
all the way through where basically
it has like the vents are like done in
an angle
so they have this angle as you can see
like it's a little bit
eye cleaned up very quick but need more
cleaning
this vents are like in 45 degree angle
something like that
where basically i think the idea here is
to the air to flow
it is perforated underneath so again the
air goes underneath
and goes all the way through to help the
flow
to fry with air as always we say it
these
are positive things now i have to say
that
i do use the app so this is the first
thing that
it's cool to have it uh you can download
you can use it
but to be honest it's much easier to use
um the panel you know usually you are
not that far
from the airfryer or you don't use alexa
for example i never used i have to be
honest
never used alexa i test once just for
fun it works
but it is not something that i'm i would
recommend
because of that so you don't buy the
cosori air fryer because it has alexa
i don't think you buy the cosori air fryer
because
it has an app i have heard that the app
is useful
uh because on a um it is an lcd panel it
is based on a resistive
touch what this doesn't mean it means
that
you have to apply a sort a lot of
pressure
in order to turn it on or turn it off
this airfryer so
this translates into a recessive
pressure so it is not like an iphone on
an ipad where you have a capacitive
lcd touch screen where you can gently
touch
and get the action here you will have
some problem you will experience some
problem when you want to touch
quickly or you want to change among
temperature and time or you want to
pause utilizing the pose
here it needs a little bit of practice
and sometimes when you are in a hurry it
is not
uh the best beside the app that i think
it's uh
um it's useful up to a point a negative
point that
i have to say for the cosori air fryer it is
sturdy
uh you know but obviously you can tell
it's
made on the cheaper side and one thing
that you can
absolutely check it is um that
when you cook usually you have uh
smoke on the sides of the
um of the air fryer and not on the back
even if
the back that there is a vent here where
the old smoke should go
out of here unfortunately will happen it
goes on the side
and another thing that i noticed there
is like i think
like you know a sort of design flow with
this the design of the basket
it has here a lot of um
exhaust here and holds it allows
for a lot of grease
to to to be like in this
side here you can see here their holes
also when you clean
uh the water will deposit with penetrate
in the salts and inside this this
plastic material
you will have an accumulation of water
grease
or other stuff so for example in the
video of the bacon I did a
while ago
and i'm gonna drop for your link down
below also for that to check it out or
you can check out right here
um it happens it happens that there is
like this grease coming out
of the corner of the basket something
that
with my Phillips air fryer didn't happen and
another thing this
this band that i'm pretty sure give a
lot of advantage in terms of their floor
they have a lot of disadvantage when
it's time to clean
when it's time to clean will happen here
vent will be will have a lot of grease i
think you can see here
so cleaning these all these vents here
becomes a complex long
now that's instead is the difference
between
the basket of the
cosori air fryer as you can see and instead this
is the
small um airfryer from phillips
which i still think is the best air fryer
there
it's it's instead it is one piece
it is much easier to clean because the
vent here what they do
it is basically are very difficult to
clean the middle
and you know also the philips what it
does it has
this um grate here that you can put
inside
your basket and then you can change
accordingly to what you have to cook
so i think the design of the philip is
superior anyway
this is the star design of the phillips
of the
odor basket that allows for the
much better airflow i believe
compared to these designed it seems
not really helpful
you know for the airflow this styrofoam
it's a part of the
uh it's a patented design so obviously
but it can have the the same version
as per the um philips airfryer
so if you have a budget this is like 200
plus
i would consider uh you know buying
anyway the philips air fryer i'm gonna go
for your link down below
for buying straight from amazon if you
have a budget of about you know
90 120 it depends by the offer
i will go definitely with the cosori air
fryer the cosori air fryer is definitely a
great air fryer
it is the results that i'm getting out
of the cosori are really
excellent okay so let's sum up a little
bit of three positive side and three
negative side of this cosori air fryer 5.8
quart
1700 watt so first one i love the
preheat function
i think it's perfect second is in the
design it is pretty compact and sleek i
like it
third is in the capacitor of the basket
it is perfect for family up to four
people
so let's go to the three negative side
of this Cosori Air Fryer
first and foremost i think it's
difficult to clean compared to the
philips air fryer for example
also inside uh itself
it becomes dirty and is difficult
to clean second floor
i think the design of the other basket
with this
openings here generates
um accumulation of grease and water
inside
the airfryer impossible to take out you
have to shake it
and then what happened in the corner
here
on the other corner of the of the air fryer we
can see
leakage and third negative side i would
say i do not
love this lcd screen because as i
explained before this is a cheap
uh lcd screen would i buy the cosori air
fryer again
would i recommend it definitely i would
buy a game
and if you have a budget of up to 120
130 dollars
and if there is some uh you know
discount definitely go
with the Cosori it is an excellent
choice it is great Air Fryer and it delivers
one of the best results out there it is
definitely my top five
airfryer at moment i've been using for
three months i don't have a lot of
complaints
uh the only thing that i forget to
mention
be careful with the basket so the basket
has
three screws right here
and they are loose and they can really
get
out very very easily so
um be careful tight this screw
every month or so otherwise it's gonna
be
it will become flimsy beside that um i
would i would absolutely recommend to
buy
uh the cosori air fryer it is an excellent
choice and right here
