It has the 360 Thermo IQ technologysince the aluminum basket is three times thicker than others, so it heats up faster and cooks evenly and more efficiently.

cooking tests
In the time I’ve had the Cosori Dual Blaze air fryer, I’ve tried all of its features, experimenting with frying, roasting and other techniquesand in general the feeling I have had is that it is a very practical appliance that is worth having at home.
Fries with less fat and fewer calories and very worthy roasts without having to turn on the conventional oven, make this appliance an interesting device if you have space at home. Of course, if you still have one of those oil fryers from the 1980s-90s, it may be time to retire it and replace it with this versatile appliance that’s similar in shape and size.
Chips
Evidently, I did the first test with French fries, in different formats. The diced French fries that we serve as a side dish in this recipe for Russian steaks in sauce were perfect. My family couldn’t believe they weren’t regular fries. In the image above this paragraph, you can see how we put the potatoes cut into small cubes, sprinkled only with a pinch of olive oil, just before being cooked in the fryer.
The classic French fries in sticksare also luxurious, although it is important to remember that they must all have a similar size and thicknessbecause if not, the smaller ones will brown more and the thicker ones will be lighter.
Moorish skewers, brochettes, sausages and the like
The skewer accessory allows you to grill Moorish skewers, sausages and chorizos or similar products five by five. As it is not necessary to turn them over because they have double resistance, the result is great. With ten minutes at 200ºC in the roasting function, they are golden and crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside.
We will publish a soon recipe in which we have simultaneously used the basket to fry potatoes and the skewer accessory, and everything was on point. Thus we take advantage of the large size of the basket to reduce time.
Functions as an oven
I still have to make a roast chicken in the fryer without oil -which with its capacity can be a normal chicken, not necessarily a spicy or tomato chicken- but I have already tried to roast other foods using the function roast and roasting the products in the drawer.
So much meat, – look at the steak with confit garlic that you have above -, like fish, are perfect in a very short time. As it is cooking or roasting by air convection, hardly any oil is used, so those who want to cook more lightly can do so easily with this appliance.
Is sea bream stuffed with aromatics that we roasted, It was practically the same as if it had been made in a conventional oven. Taking into account that it is summer, and that the heat -and energy consumption- of traditional ovens is much higher than the consumption and heat that this fryer without oil gives off, when there are few of us at home to eat, the Cosori Airfryer that we analyze today is a more than recommended option.
Cleaning the air fryer
Both the airless fryer drawer/basket and drain accessory are very easy to clean, most of the time, just passing a kitchen paper to remove some droplets of oil that fall to the bottom.
When used as an oven, the drawer may be a bit dirtier, due to the grease from the food that may drip. In that case, cleaning is also very easy, with soap and water since the non-stick surface it is cleaned very easily.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it should be noted that both pieces are dishwasher safeso compared to cleaning a frying pan in a conventional fryer or a traditional built-in oven, this appliance is much easier to clean.
Conclusions after 30 days of use
From the first moment, the learning curve for the use of this appliance has been very fast. Both for frying and for use as an oven, the Efficiency of the Cosori Dual Blaze 6.4L Capacity Oil-Free Fryer It has been more than satisfactory.
The 30-recipe book included with purchasefalls short but thanks to the possibility of accessing other recipes on the web or via mobile, it is made easier for everyone to learn recipes, times and tricks, while becoming familiar with the different cooking techniques that can be achieve using this appliance.
price wiseis the most expensive product in the Cosori range in its line of fryers, but the price is not much higher than that of other fryers from other brands, so each of its quality, its sufficient capacity for a family of 4-6 people and their connectivity with the mobile Through the application it seems to me one of the best options on the market.
Coming soon we will be publishing some of the recipes we have made with it so that your air fryer or oilless fryer recipe book continues to grow, and for those of you who dare to acquire this or a similar device you use it to cook many recipes, in addition to French fries.
