Product Information

Instead, I went right in with a batch of potato wedges. I probably shouldn't have skipped the test run, because the machine emitted a bit of smoke the first time I used it, which was slightly concerning. Fortunately, the user manual says it is normal for the air fryer to produce some white smoke when you use it for the first time. This can also happen if you're cooking greasy foods or if the baskets haven't been cleaned properly, which is also possible when cooking in an oven. I’ve put together a massive list of air fryer recipes you can make right in the Cosori air fryer 5.8 qt appliance. They all include ingredients, times, and temperatures. Space and Placement: Arrange your baked goods in a single layer to allow for proper air circulation. Avoid overcrowding the basket or tray, as this can lead to uneven baking.

The impacted air fryers, available in two different sizes and five distinct colors, can be identified using printed model numbers and exchanged for a free replacement.For thorough cooking and optimal browning, Cosori recommends always preheating the machine before placing food inside. Depending on your cooking temperature, it takes just two to five minutes to preheat. Air-fried tofu To start with, Itested out some of the preset modes, including the ones for chips and bacon. I’m pleased to report that they work well. Some preset modes, such as the ones for chips, have automatic shake reminders that, unsurprisingly, remind you to shake the contents of the basket. The alarm can be a little grating at times, but it does the job. Results for both chips and bacon were moist, yet satisfyingly crunchy.

Monitor and Rotate: Depending on the size and shape of your air fryer, you may need to rotate the baking tray or flip the baked goods halfway through the cooking time for even results. Neglecting Preheating: Preheating the air fryer is essential for even cooking. Allow the unit to preheat for a few minutes before introducing the food. For a countertop kitchen appliance, the Cosori Smart 5.8-Quart Air Fryer is quite bulky, measuring 14.3 by 11.8 by 12.6 inches (LWH). Given the amount of space it takes up, you probably won't want to leave it out all the time, so be sure you have enough room to stow it away when it's not in use. The good news is that it weighs just 11.7 pounds, so it's easy to move around. Make sure you don't accidentally get the Air Fryer Max XL model, which doesn't feature Wi-Fi, but is oddly the same price as the smart version. Neglecting Oil Application: While air fryers require less oil, a light coating can enhance flavor and texture. Consider using a cooking spray or gently brushing oil onto the food.Use Included Recipes: Every Cosori air fryer model comes with a dedicated recipe booklet, featuring thoughtfully curated dishes that complement the appliance's capabilities. It’s one of the reasons it’s my number one air fryer at home and on my list of the best large air fryers to buy (the 3.7 qt is also on the list of the best small air fryers too). When connected to Alexa or Google Assistant, you can control the machine with your voice using commands and queries such as, "Air fry for 15 minutes at 400 degrees," "Add 30 minutes to my air fryer," "Pause my air fryer," "What temperature is my air fryer set to," and "When will the food in my air fryer be done." In testing, the voice commands worked perfectly with Alexa. Forgetting to Rotate or Shake: Some air fryers need periodic shaking or turning to ensure uniform cooking. This practice guarantees even browning.
