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, Black

Ok. Now this product is so easy to use, and everything cooks to perfection.Roast dinner' dinner today.Dont expect to put a full meal in and ta dah!!Its to help cut costs, and it does. I started with a 2lb joint of beef room temp, started it on pre heat Turned it up for 20, then foil on, pause it for 10, cook for 10, untill you are happy.I did a joint of lamb after,1lb same process ps i upped the temp +lowered the temp. It is very versital ,browns lovely. Like using an oven you check.Whilst this is cooking i have my oven on at the lowest setting 10 mins before (Af) is at the end of meat cycle.When happy with meat place in oven. Same with roast pots I think you have to! since the old hostess trolly.I have a steamer. I started my potatoes off, 1/2 for mash, rest for roasties from scratch, roasties finish fantastic in AF. As roasties are cooking i steamed my veg.In all it took me an hour to cook, and it all came together great. 2 mins to clean aswell. What i am trying to say is. It would of been 2hrs oven, 3 gas rings on the go, 40 tea towels for the washer. And one tired daddy. Cooked it for my little girl. We got to see Mary Poppins aswell.Just done chicken wings in Af. I took the basket out and lined the outer basket with foil to catch the fat. 25mins Superb!! Still 2mins to clean.Omelette! Take your time be patient and yes it works, i cooked tomatoes first on preheat (180), added the eggs (3) cooked for 5 mins added some cheese 3 mins, came out lovely and fluffy. Cooked brekkie win win. I want to fault it but i can't.Be confident with it, keep an eye on it, enjoy it. I have used my gas oven maybe twice in 2 weeks now. Would recommend to buy the extra trays and racks, but foil is as good.

Coming back to this review after a year and I still stand-by my thoughts. Cosori have made the best air fryers, affordable and well designed. Even if it shows signs of wear from heavy use, it's a better device than InstntPot, Phillips and Tefal by a country mile. If the basket wears, just buy another basket. The device is still far better designed that anything else (I've used) on the market.Have owned this device for more than twelve months and it one of the most useful items in my kitchen.It's form factor means it fits anywhere I need to use it, but even better, I can sneak it on holiday too (mainland obviously).Anyone (even novices) can use to improve their culinary output.Simple to setup and use; works better than you imagined and will improve every meal in ways you won't believe. The other major benefit is that cleaning it is really simple, certainly something you do need to be aware of.This particular model is my 'default present' for wedding gifts, birthdays and house-warmings.I purchased one for my parents; mainly because my Mum can't bend down to use the main oven, but it cooks everything (they enjoy) and cleaning-up is low effort. It's also much cheaper to run than an oven. *I have now purchased six in total. Only one problem, simply rectified.Top tip: get the large one. If you have a family, you will find the air fryer is always in use and you need more space for other items. You can cook a whole chicken in an air fryer, the larger model allows you to cook a larger chicken (which is always very popular).The only tools you will need are a good pair of nylon cooking tongues, an oil spray bottle and Teflon base sheet. If you can, try to get the small riser too, this will allow you to cook two (or more) items at the same time.Children will enjoy learning to cook too. Just follow the simple rules and you will have years of delicious results.

I paid over £100 for this, the 5.5l version, back in 2022. Now it is even better value! I use it almost daily and now never use the main oven. I use it for baking part-cooked baguettes, salmon in foil, chicken, baking flatbread, etc.I'm sure I just scratch the surface of what can be done in it and am trying to experiment more. For example, I'm going to try a chicken traybake tonight, which I've never attempted because of the permanent basket. But I now realise that is not a problem because the juices that accumulate can be poured over the meal when served! Edit: the traybake was delicious!There are just the two of us, so our needs are slight but I find that I can make almost any meal using my quartet of Airfryer, microwave, hob and slow cooker.There have been other reviews questioning the life of the catch that keeps the bottom container attached to the main basket and handle, but I have not found it to be a problem. Obviously it is a weakness but the bottom container is never loaded up, and it's still going strong over two years later.The main reason for buying the air fryer was energy cost-savings and it has certainly done that. Along with other economies, we managed to reduce (and maintain) our electricity use by 25%I wholeheartedly recommend this air fryer. It is easy to operate, especially using the short-cut programme buttons. It is easy to keep clean. it cooks rapidly and completely.Even though it is now 30% cheaper than when I bought it, I still think it was a bargain. In fact, I'm now following the various Cosori-users Facebook groups to expand my use of it.

The media could not be loaded. I have had a couple of air fryers including a recent ninja multi cooker which had to return. Was so happy to get this as it cools really well,I already baked a banana bread and cooked several veggies and meat. The only thing I think they should have done is to have an option to clear a cooking setting if you get it wrong. This model will require the turn off turn on button to clear it. All in all I recommend it, sounds wise is not too bad ,cleaning it is easy
