*I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare **MyBest.Kitchen** a chore which usually kept me from frying all together. Also, the lack of needing oil to fry means that my family and I are eating healthier... while still enjoying the crispiness of fried foods.*

You can skip the preheat by pressing and holding the start button (benefits of reading the manual lol)

good point! My husband reads manuals so between the two of us, we get by haha!

Well. . . For those of us that use this oven and love it, you can skip the preheat just by touching the preheat button a second time. Also you can pause the time when opening the door to make changes, stir etc. You give GREAT reviews but at times when you try to do things without reading even a word of the guide, you give misguided and inaccurate reviews bcuz you didn’t operate the machine as required by the manufacturer. Please don’t take offence, it’s just my opinion. I love your reviews and what you do, I have both your air fryer cookbooks already. As a retired Gold Seal Chef I want to say that your cookbooks are stellar and very well done. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing your next one. Hopefully in the next one you’ll at least read the QuickStart guide. Stay safe and be careful... Kevin🎗

@@diemvolz4311 Another one of the many flaws of the Cosori is that you cannot pause the time(r) when opening the day. It just keeps running. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I know, you’d think it would pause but it goes to show the basic thought that was put into the machine. This is one of many reasons I returned mine and bought the Ninja Foodi XL Pro Air Fry Oven. I even upgraded to the SMART version with intuitive food thermometer. LOVE IT and so much more versatile and larger.

READ YOUR OWNERS MANUAL: You mention several times about not liking the pre-heat. From Owners Manual: Pressing START/CANCEL again during preheating will cancel preheating and immediately start cooking. Also set the fan to High Speed when Air Frying will give you crisper chicken wings. Again from the manual: Use the high fan speed (super convection) for crispier results, and for air frying.

I ALWAYS read manuals. You can avoid a lot of frustration and discover features and benefits that may not be evident intuitively, not to mention practices that may compromise the longevity of the appliance, void the warranty, or produce undesirable results. Manufacturers want consumers to have success with their products. Future sales depend on it, so manuals are intended to ensure proper use. It’s worth the time to read the manual. If you want to criticize something, criticize a manual for clarity and ease of understanding, but not before you read it. IMO, a review that is based on improper use does a disservice to viewers by wasting their time with misinformation, not to mention unfairly representing the product. A review after using a product for some time is more valuable than an out-of-the box first experience. Rave product reviews at unboxing or on first use are worthless if the product consistently breaks down after an unreasonably short time. A lot of the info in this video was helpful, like size information, but it would have been so much better if it had been approached with correct use as specified in the manual.

Lori Mast thank you!

Beautifully simple reviews. Great job

I bought this unit 2 months ago as a countertop oven when my range oven broke (and as we were selling our house, didn't want to invest in a new one). I primarily use it as a convection oven, broiler, and warmer - and it's fabulous. The preheat function is super frustrating and took me a while to get used to it. As an air-fryer, it's not the best in all my attempts so far to make chips or fries - but today I'll be trying chickpeas from my Instant Pot, and I'll try the broil (carefully) as you suggested. Oh, and I want to throw some love on you ... I overcame my fear and have mastered the art of Instant Pot cooking with the help of your videos and cookbooks!! You have an energetic and confident style that speaks to me. Bless you Urvashi!!!

You should put the roasting pan under the air fryer basket to catch the drippings. The crumb tray at the very bottom is for crumbs, not for hot oil drippings.

I’ve had my Cosori since November 2021 and love it! There’s a few comments I want to make reference your video: 1. I know you don’t care for the preheat feature and you don’t use it. The reason why it wants you to press the start button again, once it reaches its preheat temperature, it’s so we can start the cooking time. The purpose is to get the temperature up to par and that’s when cooking actually starts. 2. The silicon mats for the crumb tray is an excellent idea. What I also did is put aluminum foil and fitted it around the edges, that way if crumbs or drips or anything else fall onto the crumb tray, the aluminum foil will catch it and then all I have to do is dispose of it and replace it. 3. This is a question for you being that you were the expert in my eyes! I tried to air fry french fries that I made, meaning that they were raw, made from scratch. The preset time and temperature did not cut it. What do you recommend I do for french fries that I make from scratch?

Love your review, very straightforward and honest. Thanks!!!

This oven was a lifesaver for us. Our old gas oven went out, and after spending $200 to get it 'fixed', it still didn't work. I got one of these, and it has done the job.

Thanks for this honest review. I just bought the Cosori oven/air fryer and have also had a struggle with the preheat function. I still like that it does so many things, since I don't have room for lots of appliances in my kitchen. One more thing is that pressing the cancel button doesn't turn the oven off, so I have to unplug it. If Cosori would change that, it would be excellent! Thanks again!

THANK YOU SO MUCH WILL LOOK 4 MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS COMING UP

Thank you for all the work you do for your channel, I love your reviews! But the burning question is, which is your all-time fav? I have a small air fryer that we purchased to see if we would want one, and definitely do. However, don't want to be saddled with just another gadget that we don't use.

Taking a little longer to cook means a little drier food result!! I'll stay with my 5.8 qt Cosori, thank you very much!!! The problem with these ovens is that they are facing a limit of necessary power from a 110 volt outlet. The smaller air fryers ALREADY consume about the limit of available power from the kitchen outlet! Trying to get more energy from a typical 20 Amp 110 Volt circuit will simply blow a fuse! Having more food in the oven means it will take more energy to cook at the same speed that the smaller Cosori will cook at. So with a limit of energy, it simply takes longer to get the same degree of 'cook' per food item in the larger Cosori. Longer cook means a drier result. NOT GOOD!! YOU DID A MARVELOUS REVIEW!! Thank you for your honesty!..Ron K.

Very nicely explained. During this lockdown period i was tempted to try my hand in kitchen by making a few snack items. looking at the video just now, i have some questions 1 ) can we have 3 shelves for air frying only.( with modified trays ) I need to use the air fryer for a one specific item in large volumes. What is the country of mfg, what is the cost, & time to receive in Pune.

You sold me on this oven! And I’m going to pick up your recipe books. Those recipes can all be used in this oven air fryer?

I really appreciate your understanding of the Ninja Foodie, I purchase one about three months ago, and I am afraid to start using it due to the fact I had a Coffee maker and it caught on fire since then I am afraid to used something new. I really like your explanation. I would like to know the price for your cook book for the foodie. Thank you.

I love this machine, I don't have breville money. I have a family of 6 so it's perfect size wise. Idk if it's right or wrong but I wrap my drip tray in aluminum foil 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hope this helps someone

I like the way your explain 😍

@ 7:31 you made a very good point about how you don't necessarily have to use the rotisserie because the air flows evenly around the meat anyway. I did a whole chicken in my air-fryer just off the rack itself...It turned out perfect, and I didn't even have to flip it. 😋😍 I'd include a pic if I knew how. 😁 Great video btw...Very informative. 😊 You're quite funny too. 😂😍❤

I noticed that some one said in the Breville Toaster oven airfyer that the food being air fried should not drip. But you know pakoras and koftas it can drip. Can you please help.

You can skip pre heat by pressing again the start button. Jeje but I really want to know if any silicon mat can be use to protect the bottom tray and if your books sale in Mexico. Thank you

Fantastic review 👍...subbed

Are you supposed to use the food tray under the air fryer basket? That would keep the crumb tray cleaner

ty for the review, very insightful. just fyi, rotisserie isnt just about cooking evenly, it's about the meat basting on it's own juices as it spins, keeping the meat juicy and tastier.

I just got this as a gift for a family member and I really would love for a review on something so simple how do I set the time on this oven??

I had the same problem with the pre heat . In the book, it states, once its preheated, you have to hit start again. I missed that, and it didn't cook . So I restarted process, then when it went to pre heat, let it on there for a few min, then hit start button again, and it started cooking.

I am a fan of rotisseries especially for prime rib and I have used my vintage Farberware "smokeless" --not sure if this is a good alternative. And can any of these toaster oven types do a 12 lb turkey?

Loved your review! Your comedy isn't bad either, haha.

If we cover with the aluminum foil can we boil rice and cook liquid curry in it

Can we bake a whole chicken in this? Enjoyed your video.

Urvashi, I am so grateful that you are so opinionated and mouthy. I can't stand chatty people (talking for the sake of making noise or seeming to be friendly). Opinionated and mouthy is so real. And trustworthy. I'm a "no bs kind of person; say what matters . . . and . . . it matters what you say. Oh, and btw, great review. I was wondering about these things and which would be better for me, the egg or the oven. I bought a 30. 1.3 qt egg this summer and just before Christmas an oven for 68.,1/2 price) on Black Friday. I prefer the oven for the 'plug it in and leave it till you need it' ease of use. This confirmed my feelings towards both and taught me to get a mat to cover the crumb tray. I just covered it with foil for now but hate using foil. They get tears in them and the item they are protecting gets dirty anyway so if I'm going to have to wash something, it's better if it's something I can wipe off and reuse. I hate creating un-necessary garbage, not because I am so Green but because the bag is gets heavier to carry to the curb (or trash bin). I don't like the need to press the Start button after the preheat. The one I got doesn't do that. I guess there is something to be said for one with less bells & whistles. I also found placing a silicon mat on the top - without covering the vents - does an excellent job keeping my upper cupboards cool/warm to the touch. There. That's me being opinionated and mouthy. ;-)

@@Twosleevers I cut a grill mat to fit on the crumb tray much happier with it. Thank you.

Have you had any problem with the silicone mat on the crumb tray partially melting from being underneath the heating element? I've measured the heating elements at its highest temp with a laser temp gun and it can go up to 450 F after the pre heat and airfryer setting for about 20 min. Most silicone mats are rated up to 450 F so I'm curious.

I definitely don't mind a little added time, if you consider that you can get about twice as many in there. In the long run, it still takes less time to cook 16 wings in this one than it would in the Ninja.

The main attraction here for me is the rotisserie. I have the Emeril air fryer 360 and when I use the rotisserie it smokes because the fat drips on the burners will this happen with this one ?

I thoroughly enjoyed your review... LOLOLOL ... so much fun! No Cosori for me. Thank you!!!

Have you checked out the Cuisinart Toaster Oven/air fryer that is very comparable to this Cosori? I like the capacity and rectangular basket of the larger models.

my problem is that my cabinets are very low...18 inches...do you believe i can put it under my new cabinets.?

I'm with you on the wings. They even taste a little funky without sauce.

Your comment on not liking mandatory preheat on Cosori overlooked 2 good features. You can choose to preheat with toast function. Then, when you start cooking and preheat function begins, you can push the button again and preheat will stop and food will cook for the entered time. Or you can omit preheating with toast function, add 3 minutes to estimated cooking time, and press the start/cancel button twice as mentioned above. I only read the instructions for my new Cosori oven because I watched your presentation and was sure there would be a workaround.

Were did get the pads to put on the try keep it clean?

The preheat keeps beeping until you push the button because the oven cannot assume you put the food in exactly when the preheat beeped the first time. Instead it waits for you to confirm the food is inserted. Otherwise you would have to reset the timer if you waited too long to put the food in. Sounds like a smart design to me.

How is the rotisserie function? How big of a bird or roast will it handle?

if you hit the start button while in pre heat it will go straight into regular cooking and by pass the pre heat cycle. you dont have to wait for the extra pre heat cycle. plus you can put the baking pan in the first slot to cant the dripping for better clean up
