Cosori Pro Air Fryer vs Instant Pot 140-3000-01

Once I realized my hatred for the Cuisinart would never be cured, I bought the Cosori XL basket fryer and I love it. I’m now able to follow recipes and air fry things without them burning to a crisp. Did I mention that I hate the Cuisinart?

I absolutely love mine! I’ve had it since 2019. The fry basket is awesome. Roasting chicken is great. It’s easy to use and easy to clean

Note to all: DONT use oven cleaner on it even though I came across a thread where people recommended using it. The grease indeed did come off, but at that cost of the non stick coating.

Not burning hot. I’m giving mine some breathing room in the corner of the countertop against the granite backsplash and under the cupboards sitting diagonally. This unit is replacing an ‘egg’ style air fryer we’ve had for probably 4 years with heavy use from the kids. Those are nearly impossible to keep clean, and frankly don’t cook well

First off, I absolutely hate cooking. I don't like the mess. It takes too much time. My recipes never turn out like they show in the cookbooks

Third, the manual doesn't really seem to have correct cooking times. To be fair, my George Foreman Grill isn't perfect on that score either. I used it once, so Im not returning it right away, and will write more, if, as and when my thoughts change, including if I decide to return it.

It’s a different way to cook, but what I’ve cooked so far, I like. I’ve fried chicken, steaks, jalapeño poppers, and even breaded red fish. Guess the only drawback with the fryer is the size. The basket is big for baskets, but if your cooking for several people, (more than 2), you have to cook in stages

foget it! Can't do air fried chicken and fries at the same time for a family...way too small

The instructions state that you must always preheat the fryer before using, and by doing that, I have had success with a variety of foods. However, one thing to note: you must always select a preset [steak, vegetable, chicken, etc.] and then adjust the temperature or time to your liking; you cannot simply set a temperature or time. The automatic pause halfway through cooking in order to shake/flip your food only works [beeps & turns off heat] if you do not adjust the preset times/temps

Also, the air vent is in the back of the unit so keep it several inches (like 10 inches) from the back wall, to prevent it from getting too hot. Part of the appeal of this air fryer is not using the oven, but it's blowing out hot air the entire time it's on, so it still warms up the kitchen.

It produces such a clean taste. Definitely for someone who has health issues that greasy foods would aggravate and exacerbate. Should’ve gotten this a long time ago. Saves time and energy and it tastes better

helping my diet! even tho im making (trader joes) hash browns better than mcd's! wings half the price of carry out! sweet potato fries and asparagus my main stays. still experimenting but..

Now I have more access to my oven for baking larger amounts of food. Also great when you need to bake more than 1 thing at once.

The pork chops I breaded and baked came out tough and unevenly cooked, even though I marinated them four hours before cooking. I had to rotate them every time I turned around and that made a royal mess. I'm hoping I can find better instructions and learn to love it, but it's a steep learning curve so far.
