COSORI - Pro LE 5.0-Quart Air Fryer

Everyone is saying go big... i downsized from a dual basket ninja to a cosori pro le. they had it in white that matched my kitchen. it also goes to 450, which i like.

Ninja Foodi Dual Zone for multi-cooking, Cosori Pro LE for a compact design, Instant Vortex Plus for versatility, Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for premium features, and Philips Premium XXL for large portions.

I'm an old fogey. I cook for my wife and myself. I have a 5qt Cosori. It's plenty big for us. I will AF burgers, baked potatoes, Grands package biscuits (4 at a time X 2), a couple of chicken breasts. It isn't big enough to cook both the chicken breasts and potatoes. I chose the Cosori that I did because it fit nicely on the counter.

I have the same air fryer and I love it but I feel like I only do frozen items in it. Would you mind sharing your steps/time/temp/recipe for doing chicken breasts?

Cosori is definitely the best

Just call cosori and see how they respond to your query regarding it. I always do that before ordering. Many companies I ignore when their support is inactive from Day 1 Cosori has better airfryer normally than Philips, even I'll get on

Ninja, Cosori, Breville, Instant Pot, Cuisinart, Emeril Lagasse, Philips, and Power AirFryer. They ultimately chose the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for its premium stainless steel design and high-end look. The Ninja DualZone for multi-cooking features and the Cosori Pro for affordability and performance.

I have a single basket Cosori and have been happy with it. As mentioned, making toast in it leaves you with crispy toast. I have a $12 toaster for toast. I also have an older toaster oven that’s been sitting in my cabinet for 4 years, since I got the air fryer. I haven’t found a need for it that the air fryer couldn’t handle.

We had a Cuisinart 7 in 1 toaster oven and I really liked it. My wife likes to have the counter clear of anything that doesn't give a curated look so we got rid of it after 7-8 years. It did a good job of air frying and toasting. After I retired, we updated several things in the kitchen including getting a basket air fryer (Cosori). It does a much better job of frying frozen foods and toasting Uncrustables. The tots and fries are really good and crispy. We also got a $20 toaster off Amazon for just doing bread/bagels/English muffins. The air fryer and toaster get put away when not being used which we couldn't do with the toaster oven. I still need to pick up a silicone liner for the air fryer but got a ton of paper liners to go thru before then. The Cuisinart was about $120 US (think we got it on sale for about $100. The air fryer is $90 right now. I like the Cosori better than the Cuisinart. It is easier to clean. The glass on the toaster oven ended up with a lot of baked on grease staining it. I scrubbed very hard and only got a little off before we sold it. Buyer was replacing same model that they used until it died and loved theirs.

My air frier is basically my most used appliance. So much so that I'm shopping for a second one, because my biggest frustration is that I can only do one thing at a time. I really like my basket style Corsori. If I could go back though, I might get a dual drawer version. Now, I'm thinking about adding a toaster oven air fryer hybrid, so that I could use it for different things. Things I use it for the most: * Roasting Veggies (especially carrots and asparagus. It's so easy, and they're the best you'll ever have.) * Frozen foods (I no longer use the microwave because I can really fine tune it in the air fryer and it just tastes better.) * Chicken (makes the easiest and best drumsticks I've ever made, just throw together a really simple marinade and you're good.) * Bacon (easy to clean up afterward, bacon comes out perfect.) * French Fries (Just put them in some avocado oil, put some salt on them right when they're done, and you'll have some of the best fries ever.) * Baked Potatoes (It's just so easy.)

I have both, Ninja oven style, Cosori basket style.  I quit using the oven style 6 months ago. Oven style:  Basically a small oven.  Only thing it does better is larger pizza, more cookies.  It heats from top and bottom, so no flipping.  Has window so you can watch stuff burn. More "stuff" gets spattered on all 6 sides, including more fragile heating elements ("stuff" hard to or won't clean off).  Can get hot on top.  No non-stick. Basket style:  Better/stronger circulation. Food cooks faster & gets crisper. It's MUCH easier to clean non stick surfaces (1 minute after each use).  Fan is quieter (at least on my Cosori Turbo).  A cheap toaster is a must.  My Cosori was half the price of the Ninja, does a much better job, and takes up less countertop space.

We have a Cuisinart TOA-70 toaster oven that's also a convection oven a.k.a. air fryer and while it is terrific for pizza's and lots of other items, it pales in comparison to our Cosori basket-style air fryer. Truly, there's a dramatic difference in the crisping and overall texture of foods prepped in the Cosori vs. Cuisinart.
