Elite Platinum EAF-1506D 3.5 Quart Digital vs Cosori Pro Air Fryer

Too big to have on my counter from day to day. It looks exactly like the hair blow dryers we used in the 50's and 60's. In fact, I would not be surprised if the design was taken from one.

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

My only complaint thus far is the sticking to the non stick basket and pan but the parchment paper liners solve that issue. It does take a lot of counter space and has suction cups on the bottom which for me is a nuisance but I understand why they would have them for more safety. With the burger next time we will cook for less time it was moist and well done on the inside and they did taste good. We were able to do 4 burgers at a time, have since purchased a shelf accessory to add a second layer to put more burgers on at the same time

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.

While the machine is better than just frying in oil or the oven, I have to use a higher temp along with usually 4-8 minutes longer depending on what is in and how thick. Cleanup isn’t that easy for the 2 I received (one was replaced under warranty as it had even worse problems with heating). Eventually I can get it clean but I spend over 15 minutes sometimes depending on what I cook. The “non-stick” coating scrapes off around the bottom of the basket and the top edges of the lower chamber

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

Then I breaded up some 1" thick pork chops and they came out great. So much better than all other attempts at oven baking either one of the two. It is easy to clean and use. Just set the time and temp

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 fryer basket sits in a removable basket and both are easy to clean. The mozz sticks oozed a little on to the baskets and after it cooled to the touch just simply wiped it clean with a damp paper towel.

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?

You can get a lot of cooking ideas from FB groups once you figure out the correct times. There is a slight learning curve to that part but once you get it food comes out terrific. We did have a problem with the inner pan scratching but we called up the company and they sent a new pan right away. Other than that this airfryer is awesome

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

Love the air fryer - okay if it was oil based it would be better tasting, but for health reasons I went with the Elite Platinum Air fryer and am very happy. Shrimp, wings, sweet potato fries, regular fries, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks are the items that I've made so far. All came out very good and used a teaspoon or two of oil only (for fries at least) to get things crispy. Easy to use, easy to clean, and quick to cook, were the main reasons that this outperforms the oven

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
