Today, four years ago, I ordered mine from Amazon. Fast forward to now, and it still is on my counter cooking everything wonderfully. Because of the performance I stuck with Cosori and very pleased with their products.
Thanks Tom, I commented on your other vid re getting this machine. After watching that vid I realized that I hadn't come across the rotisserie rod when unboxing. If I hadn't have seen your vid I would have tossed it with the boxing material. It was on the bottom of the box! Thank you! Your suggestions about spraying the basket and putting water in the drip pan are great!
This is a solid little toaster oven (I bought one on a whim to replace my well used Breville & wasn't expecting much - but boy was I surprised, lol). Mine is 2 years old & it works just as well as it did on it's first use :)
Aaah -- the press and hold to override Preheat is great to know! Thanks! Also good to know it's okay to put the tray under it (it doesn't block airflow too much?). I love mine! Probably only ever use my big oven for a turkey or full sized cookie sheets....
I have seen a couple people say things about splatter so I just wanted to say I made chicken legs and I layed foil on top and it worked great to keep the grease from splattering all over and I also seen to put a piece of bread on the bottom
The water seems like a good idea, but the steam will just prevent the chicken from getting crispy. Thats probably why he ended up lifting them up to the broil rack, probably had to leave them in there for longer too.
Long time ago toaster ovens started to come with rotisseries then it stopped my guess they felt convection action gave same results. Of course the need to trick people to buying new so they added rotisseries back + convection and now air fryer label. Now everyone looks at this as something new but its just more of the same
I've been searching for a countertop oven with air fryer function. Most of them will have the fan staying on for baking, which will dry and burn the food on the surface without cooking through in the middle. Can the fan be tuned off in this oven? Can the light be turned off? Can you adjust the temperature and time during the cooking? Thanks!
Adam M Thanks for watching Adam! Mainly the size of the unit with air fryers typically smaller and always heats with a heating element whereas a convection oven is typically bigger and can run on gas or electric and doesn’t have as much air movement with the fan as compared to an air fryer
Hi Tom. Good stuff here. Can you clarify? Did you air fry the wings for 25 or 35 minutes? Also , how many times did you flip them over? Just bought one myself.
Have you used the "broil" setting yet? I have a cosorismart smart airfryer toaster oven and am anxious to use the "broil" setting for flounder filets. Can't seem to find any recipes or videos that use the broil function !
Ferment is if you want to proof yeast dough. I believe it stays at around 80 degrees or so. I haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure how it would do for you. I’ve had mine a few years and just gifted it to a neighbor (still works as well as the day I got it) because I upgraded to a newer model which includes a temperature probe for meats. The neighbor loves the original one I gifted him, and I love my new one.
I got this but still in box. My friend has been asking me to return it and get regular black one. Please tell me does it work well with frying chicken and patties. Also is the small black one faster and easier or this.
Thanks for Watching! Good questions! If you look only at the Air Fry function your buddy is correct the Cosori 5.8 qt is definitely faster. But if you dont have a toaster oven this thing is awesome. I can do pizza perfectly in it, cookies in it, roasted potatoes in it and a whole lot more. If an Air Fryer is all your looking for, go with the 5.8 qt Black Cosori. If you want something to use instead of your oven, go with this.
I did a sirlion on rotisserie the first try when I got it and it came out a perfect medium rare with the default setting, #4, but you can go lower if you like it rare or higher if you like it medium to well done. You have to make sure that the meat is sized to the rotisserie stick. I also used a skewer to make the initial hole for the skewer, just a small hole down the middle to make it easier to push the stick through the meat. I did have to adjust the skewer once because it was a little off balance when spinning. It worked out great and one of the best roast sirloin I ever made. Absolutely amazing and it was fun to watch it spin and cook perfectly.
@@davidamey7382 Wonder if the recipe book includes directions for capacity as in how large a turkey you can do. My vintage Farberware "smokeless" rotisserie can do up to 15 lbs but I try to do only 12 lbs. Rib roast bone in might be too big but should do boneless nicely. Another beef dish that is good on rotisserie is of course the filet.
Hey Tom, out of curiosity, was it just the fear of smoke that you didn’t just like the bottom rack with aluminum foil as opposed to water? I’m all about easy cleanup so would opt for foil myself if that works. Just bought this so trying to learn..
Hi Tom, is it possible to lower the temperature for the airfry setting? There are some things where 400 is too hot, at least with my tradition air fryer.
Hi Tom, I just made wings from raw, and there was a flame/ fire at the rear top around the heating element... what do you think happened? Did I do something wrong? I used the fry basket in the middle rack. Do you think it’s broken or unsafe? Thanks!
I've seen several reviews from people saying these oven types of air fryers are hard to clean, especially around the oven door area, is this one easy to clean?
Thanks for Watching! Ive cleaned mine on numerous occasions without issue. yes it does splatter when cooking on high heat like most other devices bit the inside is stainless and easy to clean
I got this because 12" pizzas fit and it's great for pizza rolls and mozzarella sticks. I'm a fast food junkie! LOL Girlfriend likes it for the toast function..
Everything except the front of the oven gets really hot, ive grown to know not to touch anything except the dials and the handle because of this lol. The top and sides get burning hot. But I do love this device.
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Yep me too ! I have a convection Toaster Over that works awesome for anything people say to air fry. So I have not bought one yet. Today I am making a green chili meatloaf on my pellet smoker ;) Happy Cooking!
Air fryer has a fan behind the heating element that blows hot air directly onto your food in a confined space creating cyclone effect. Convection oven circulates air around large oven cavitie not directly onto the food more like hurricane. Physics are different and how they fool you into think same is adding the mesh basket to allow full air calculating coverage. Air fryer mimics deep fryer by searing the outside first. Any convection oven can work like this oven just buy copper chef air fryer mesh basket and it comes with its own tray.
