COSORI Air Fryer 5.5L Capacity,Oil Free, Energy and Time Saver with 11 Presets with 100 Recipes Cookbook, Non-Stick, Dishwasher Safe Basket,1700-Watt, CP158-AF

Product Information

The box itself explains all options: max crisp, air-fry, bake, reheat and dehydrate but, if you’re too excited to bother, a comprehensive quick-start guide and instruction booklet will do the same. Built with eight presets (steak, chicken wings, seafood, fish, pizza, chips, bake, vegetables), its sync function adds convenience and was effective when cooking different dishes at the same time – we tried this with salmon (10 mins at 180C) and chicken breast (20 mins at 180C). The recipe book includes options for breakfast (such as strawberry cream scones, french toast sticks, and breakfast pizza), entrees (steak sandwich, italian meatballs, and chicken parmesan), appetizers (dry-rubbed chicken wings, fried pickles, and teriyaki pork skewers), sides (homemade french fries, avocado fries, and garlic bread), and desserts (cinnamon rolls, lemon pound cake, and chocolate chip muffins).

If you use it to make foods that take longer, like a full chicken, you may find the remote monitoring and control features more useful. The brand behind the iconic Instant Pot also makes air fryers, and its top-of-the-range model consistently turned out the crispiest fries and chicken wings of any air fryers we tested. Though electric, this outdoor grill with an air fryer function is designed for cooking on balconies and terraces.The handle found on the drawer is also handy for shaking the food part-way through cooking, which encourages an even distribution of crispiness. This model also has clear windows so you can keep an eye on your roast while it cooks – and you’ll want to use it for roasts, as our chicken was near-perfect on test. You won't be able to cook two food types at the same time, though, and the controls are on the top so placing it on a high counter may not be the best position for it. In the battle for the best air fryer on the market there is one comparison drawn over and over again: Ninja vs Cosori.

One of the reasons we loved this model is that it doesn’t dominate the countertop, despite its practical 8. Some of the best air fryers are also multi-cookers, meaning that the air circulated doesn't just air fry. It's a fairly hefty appliance, so if your kitchen is compact it may not be for you, but you can fill its two drawers with different foods and sync the programmes so everything is ready to eat at the same time – a process we found intuitive on test. You can’t combine the two drawers, but you can sync them to prepare multiple dishes at once, with a total capacity of 7. it's a lot more affordable than smart ovens like the Brava, making it a welcome addition to your kitchen.If you're yet to ever own an air fryer, a little nervous to try out a new appliances and / or are conscious about spending money, the Ultenic K10 is a good one to consider. However, the control interface is intuitive, the troubleshooting advice is clear and it comes with a recipe booklet packed with tasty inspiration for each setting. Sporting a 15-litre capacity, this air-fryer from Proscenic is among some of the largest models we've tested – making it ideal for a household of four or five. We checked that every component of the air-fryer was built to last and able to withstand regular use. This Ninja air-fryer stood out to us for several reasons – the first being its fully recyclable packaging, which was a huge plus, not to mention we were able to use the appliance almost straight out the box.

This article was updated in January to include the new tried and tested air fryer health grill from Procook and our new joint runner up, the Salter EK5728 Fuzion Dual Air Fryer.

They tend to demand more space on the countertop, but if you'll use every function, toaster ovens are excellent, hard-working appliances. One of our only irks was the navigation of selecting your function and the ambiguity of some of the function icons. It has 11 digital functions in 1-Steak, Poultry, Seafood, Shrimp, Bacon, Frozen Foods, French fries, Vegetables, Root Vegetables, Bread, Desserts, and Preheat. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the user-friendly controls, such as the bright display and preheat and keep-warm buttons, and though it's large and boxy, it's versatile enough to justify a permanent spot on the counter.

For thorough cooking and optimal browning, Cosori recommends always preheating the machine before placing food inside. If you want a budget-friendly air fryer that's as stylish as it is effective, then the Cosori Pro LE Air Fryer L501 is worth considering.You may prefer a digital version, where you press buttons to set this, and can see the remaining time digitally displayed. Our chicken breast – air-fried at 200C for 15 minutes – was golden and crisp, with juicy, succulent meat in the middle. It will help you maximise on countertop space whilst air frying, air roasting, air broiling, baking, toasting bagels, toasting, dehydrating and keeping warm. It comes with a wide, bright touchscreen and five fan speeds, each of which corresponds to a different function. There are five presets for food (chicken, fries, bacon, steak, veggies), plus keep warm and preheat settings.
