Few months ago, I binge watched your videos and ordered a Cosori airfryer. My only regret is, I bought the smaller one because I wasn't sure I would like it. I use it almost daily but the best thing about the airfryer is cooking bacon. Thanks for all your videos.
@@kelson63100 You probably got a bad one. Mine doesn't have any odor. Hopefully you got your money back. My next air fryer will be one without any teflon coating, like the Ninja.
I learned everything I know about air fryers from you! I love my Cosori Dual Blaze. The first one I got started “glitching” and Cosori replaced it at no charge! They stand behind their product. I love not having to shake the food and flipping sandwiches. I fill the tray holes with foil.
Your videos are so helpful. I asked my husband and 3 boys/men for the Typhur Dome for Christmas! It is a little pricey but I love that you said it’s quiet! I watched your videos last year and didn’t get one, but I’m finally getting one for Christmas! I’ll be watching your videos in how to use it for beginners like me! Thank you so much!
I would like one that have all the good qualities that you mentioned. Important to me is: Non-Toxic Basket, Self Cleaning, Window, Shake Reminder, Cook a Whole Chicken & Pizza, No Guess Work (Air Fryer For Dummies), and No Cell Phone Apps (Tech Dummy).
I have the Cosori dual blaze (and I love it). I buy the precut circles of parchment paper (3 or 4 inches in diameter - the ones for small round cake pans): if I want to use the crisper plate, but have food that might fall through the large holes in the center, I just stick one of those on. Though mostly, for small pieces of food, I just use the basket without the crisper plate. I really like being able to add a short broil cycle at the end of cooking to get extra browning. Some people put fly-away foods (i.e., quesadillas) in the basket and then put in the crisper plate to keep them from being blown up into the element - I tend to use a small rack. I admit removing a hot crisper plate is awkward, but that is why the holes are there to grab onto (with a cloth or an airfryer plate gripper).
Please note there are a VAST number that must know about the off-gassing! You reviewed one that not only off-gasses terrible smell..it does NOT lessen over time. And here's a thought copied to share with prospective Cosori buyers. QUOTE: According to Cosori, their Teflon coating is considered non-toxic as it is specifically formulated to be PFOA-free, which is the primary concern regarding Teflon's potential toxicity; however, it's important to note that while considered safe by most manufacturers and health experts, some people still choose to avoid Teflon altogether due to potential health concerns, even with the PFOA-free variety.
I've been watching your videos for some time now, and like this one they're usually quite informative. But there's one thing that you seem to have overlooked that I've found to make air frying (and cooking in general) so simple: wireless temperature probes you buy separately. With them, there's no longer any guesswork in terms of whether the cooking is done (although the correct temp setting is helpful to avoid over-browning, and proper placement is important for accuracy). Since the best of these probes work with one's cell phone, you're no longer tied to the kitchen to monitor cooking. And one more point: you mentioned that the large Typur Dome won't cook a whole chicken. That's likely true unless you use the trick I use for my large pressure oven: split the chicken on one side and fold it open flat. That produces more even & faster cooking and better crisping. Keep up the great work.
Hi Richard! I have used the MEATER in some of my videos actually! I like it for larger cuts of meat (but now just use the dreo in those instances). Thanks for the tip about the whole chicken... yes, I think that sounds like the spatchcocked chicken!
@@empoweredcooks The Dreo is great (albeit a bit pricy). But for the 99% of the air fryer world with less high-tech fryers like me (and I have 3), an inexpensive, accurate and convenient set of wireless probes can be a real improvement on their cooking experience. I know it was for me.
@@bikeny That sounds like some kind of kinky sex move. I just decided it was easier to open the chicken than tying up the bird on a rotisserie with string yet getting the same crispy skin all around, and possibly saving a few minutes of cooking time.
I have the 2 drawer Gourmia air fryer and absolutely love it. I cook for 1. The only thing I do NOT like about it is the rubber feet on the trays break or just fall off.
I have a toaster oven airfryer because I wanted a little oven for the two of us. It’s taken me quite awhile to understand it and it has limitations. I do have a lovely set of pans and I use my smaller casserole dishes. I don’t want to clean the whole thing every time. Still love my slow cooker, microwave, cooktop for many things. When it comes time to replace it ideally a new one would have an element top and bottom. I do enjoy your videos, Cathy 😊
@ it’s called Sur la Table. It was on sale at Costco (Canada) I was replacing an older Cuisinart convection toaster oven. It’s a nice size for my smallish kitchen. So keep up the entertaining videos, Cathy, because I need meal inspiration 😄
May I please have your opinion on these models: - Cosori Dual Basket - Cosori Dual Blaze Twinfry - Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone (AF400EU) - Ninja Double Stack XL (SL400EU) - Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer (AF500EU)
@@izzyg8316 The reason I didn't go with that one was because the drawer is huge, and I don't always want to deal with a drawer of that size when dumping out food or cleaning up. Having two smaller ones is much better for what I'm doing with it. Another reason is that the Dual Basket has a better dual heating ratio, so the temperatures can vary more than on the Dual Twinfry, which is more ideal for what I want to do.
What do you think of the Philips air fryers? They are one the first brands and most reputable that introduced Air Fryers. I am especially interested in the Philips double air fryer
I've been using the Hamilton Beach air fryer oven for years now and have never had a problem with it. They even sell replacement cooking pans and racks that come with the oven, if you want more, or just need a replacement for some reason. I've got Cathy's cooking charts hanging above my air fryer oven, and I've only had to use it once. Because their presets have all worked perfectly for everything I've cooked in it over the years. I can even put small cooking pots and pans in it in case I want to bake something like a cake or casserole or even a pot roast. It's not too hard to clean. I just spray it down with that ultra Dawn power spray, let it sit for an hour and wipe it all out. All the racks and the bottom pan can go into the diswashwer if I want. The price for this oven won't break the bank either. The only drawback I have with this, is I wish it was 2 inches wider, so I could fit a normal sized small baking dish in it. Other than that, I'm super happy with my air fryer oven from Hamilton Beach.
Thank you Cathy for these reviews! Love your videos and recipes. I bought a Cosori and rarely use my microwave anymore. I am going to try a Midea as I think the basket style does not work for me anymore and I like that it has an oven style surface to cook in.
I’ve found The Cosori Turbo Blaze and the Ninja Pro XL get the same great results EXCEPT the Ninja has a ceramic drawer and plate. The ninja is a little more expensive but if you’re (perhaps rightfully) scared of Teflon in the Cosori, consider the Ninja.
Given the temperature that an air fryer routinely operates at, any PTFE coating will be hazardous as sit breaks down inside of half of year of near daily use. Always look for an air fryer with a ceramic coating.
I have had the circle basket ninja, didn't regret having that for the 2 or 3 years i've owned it. But looking to possibly upgrade to a double basket as I think it might be nice to have the ability to cook two things at different temps at once. Otherwise the circle ninja is perfect in my opinion.
I loved my Cosori dual Blaze, but after about a year, the Teflon starting coming off. The function buttons make a difference in cooking, as the heat comes from the top, bottom or both. I would absolutely love to get the Typhur, because of the ceramic and self cleaning features, but unfortunately we still cannot buy it in Canada 😢
I have been watching quite a few of your videos lately. In one of the videos, you mentioned that your daughters each have a 4 qt Cosori (I believe you said Cosori). I was just scanning a list of Cosori airfryers that have been recalled and several of them were listed as 3.8 qt. Just wanted to mention this in case your daughters have one of these models (perhaps you rounded up 3.8 to 4)? I'm finding your videos very helpful. Thank you for these and all your efforts! The only air fryer I've used is the Actifry (which is a totally different design than others. I'm leaning toward the Cosori Turbo Blaze as most of the time I'm cooking for my hubby and myself, but this gives us options for using it when we have company. Though I'm not a fan of the non-stick coating, I'm thinking I can use a silicone basket or parchment liners so my food won't touch the non-stick coating (and I sure can't do this with the Actifry)!
i bought a Gourmia 6 quart about two years ago. Inexpensive, but works great. Just bought a newer, 8 quart model for my granddaughter for xmas. It has a glass window. I wish it were mine!
I love the noise from my original Cosori, i find it comforting oddly. Anyway it the most perfect machine in my opinion I dread it dying on me. Thank you for a great channel I have watched you for a long time.
With the Typhur Dome having such a shallow basket I guess the food is pretty close to the heating element. Any issues with smoke when cooking fatty proteins like wings at 400-450 degrees? I agree with you that horizontal space is more important than depth. More than twice the price of most other fryers is a big negative.
It actually does just fine! We made some mini pumpkin pies in ramekins in there a few days ago and I was worried abt the tops burning but it didn't! Yes, the price tag is the biggest downside for sure.
Thanks, always enjoy your honest opinions as I'm still trying to decide on which one to get...price is a factor and now I know to get a six quart at least. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Needed this two days ago! 🤣 Arrived last evening! At least it’s still unopened. Actually two weeks ago. Bought one I’m sending back for poor performance. 😭 I was afraid of Teflon so I bought a Ninja because it has ceramic coating but I don’t like it. Just replaced with an instant Vortex and am afraid of the Teflon. Glad to know about the Typhur. But yikes on the price! Not sure about that!
Love your videos. I have limited space; however, I own a Cosori and a microwave. I want to consider a combo microwave/air fryer/convection unit. Can you please review one of these combo units? Trying to get back some counter space/
Please make a vid about air-fryers without the non - stick coat. I really hate Teflon and I am searching for another option. Thank you for all these infos!
Hi. Black Friday sales shopping I bought a Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL(6.5 qt) and an Instant Vortex Plus (6 qt). Both claim to be ceramic coated. I have been looking for comparision videos, but having trouble finding them. I have watched several of your videos. Can you tell me which one you would suggest I keep? Thanks you.
I would like to see the Cuisinart and Black+Decker air fryers on your channel. have you tried them? I bought the TOA-70 cuisinart oven style. I always had a toaster oven growing up so I thought I would enjoy this style. I am a little worried about mess so I find myself reluctant to use it. not having teflon was important to me... I ended up ordering an assortment of trays, racks, dishes that I hope will give me more confidence to explore variety with this air fryer. My sister has the smaller version of the same style and loves it, that is what drew me to it in the first place. after reading reviews on many air fryers and seeing complaints about plastic smell I decided I would be most comfortable with the cuisinart oven style. I actually ordered the 6qt cuisinart basket style but before it arrived I watched a review video that showcased the obnoxious beep, and I returned it without even opening it. I am thinking I'll get the Turbo Blaze if I get another. Is it true you can mute the beep on the turbo blaze? I think if I use liners the convenience will outweigh my aversion to teflon 🤪 I did reheat some corn chips from a mexican restaurant in the TOA-70 and they came out so good. This air fryer also has an element on the bottom... Have you tried this one? I know you say you don't like the oven style.... Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with air fryers. They are new to me.
A really great podcast, you have really unknotted the air fryer for me. I am watching the Air Fryers for 2024. I found that you making some recipe’s in the air fryer to demonstrate was so helpful. Thank you so much. I found a new great channel🙏🏻💖 Sara
Hey kiddo!!! I watched this just because I enjoy you so much and you always remind me of some trick I’ve forgotten…you steered me to the Cosori 5.8 in 2022… I still love it and use it three or four times a week if not more…because I’m basically a lazy cook 😅, I use the parchment liners to help with cleanup…have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and hope you will have them all home together at least to eat for their star ratings!!!😂🥰
Hi Gail! I am glad you are enjoying your Cosori still! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving too! :) I will have everyone except my daughter and her hubby and baby :( - but looking forward to TOGETHER time! :) Take care!
Hi there dear Cathy! Do you have any opinion about Xiaomi smart air fryer? I didn't saw it in your vids, I have a brand new one, never used and Im looking to send it as a gift to someone. Thank you! I very much appreciate your informations that you give to the people
Glad you're enjoying that one! I liked a lot about it, except the interface was a bit small/dim if I recall. I gave that one to my newly married nephew and his bride. :)
I thought I would use all those preset buttons also, but found that I almost never use them either. They are gimmicky to me. They are programmable so you can change any one of them to time and temps you want them to be but even then I don’t find myself using them.
I'm new to your videos, and new to air frying, getting ready to buy one. FIRST, I want to know where you got the top that you're wearing in this video! I love it! 😊 And I'm really looking forward to watching your other videos!
While I love the cooking performance of my Cosori Dual Blaze, the controls are simply awful - the dark, tiny print makes me crazy! If I were to replace it, the Dreo Chefmaker would be my choice.
Always informative videos. I have a 2 drawer Ninja and the Dreo. Love both and between them pretty well covered, HOWEVER, the Typhur Dome, with the "shallow" pan, is it possible to do something that "rises", such as bread??
Hi Cathy , thanks for your update of new and not so new air fryers . I’d like to wish you and all of your family a Happy And Healthy Thanksgiving . Enjoy your Turkey Day
Hi! May I know what your experience was with the Instant Vortex Plus 6qt, the one that's highly recommended in a lot of places? I know you talked about the versazone but not this one specifically. Do you not prefer it for the same Pre-heat reason as the Versazone? I'm trying to decide between a Cosori Pro 2 or the Vortex Plus? Would appreciate your input!
I know I could do a search for it, but I don't see your link for the ✅ Typhur Dome Self Cleaning Air Fryer in the description. Good info all around. Thank you.
We’re only 2 people, I was thinking of a 4qt but your video has me reconsidering. I want one with a viewing window. Was looking at Beelicous 4qt but it’s only 1550 waats. Please advise.
I know of people that have had the same air fryer for years! I have not seen a replacement for the DualBlaze... you may want to reach out to their customer service on their website.
@Empowedred Cooks are you going to make a video about which models to avoid? I’m sending a Ninja back for poor performance and the fact the drawer front still smells toxic, and I have the replacement Instant Vortex Plus unopened in my kitchen. Bit worried about it’s Teflon and also the odor reviews. Is it one to return? Can’t afford the Typhur.
Hi there, I have talked abt some of these in other review videos. I think you will like the INstant Vortex Plus. The one I had included the odor filter. The only downside to it is the "forced preheat" (exact same issue that I had with Instant air fryer I showed in this video). Otherwise, performance is just good! I reviewed a few of the Ninja air fryers last month and didn't recommend any of them. I'm not a fan!
Not happy at all with my Dreo, looking for a different air fryer. It cooked steaks great when I first got it, but the last 4 I have cooked in there have been like a tough boot, even over cooked on the sous vide setting.
Hi is there any air fryer free of PTFE, PFOA, PFOS, and BPA and i heard stainless steel and ceramic is bad as well. i am so paranoid now lol my air fryer broke but i did hear about them being toxic few months ago
Have you reviewed the COSORI Clear Window Air Fryer, 6.5 Quart? If so, how does it compare to the Cosori featured in this video? I'm trying to decide between the two.
Hey! I reviewed it last year. It functions almost identical to the Cosori Pro II. It is 6.5 qt but only because the basket is a little deeper. The machine itself is loud (fan and beeps) just like the Pro II as well. I gave that one to my daughter and she likes it fine! But I prefer the TurboBlaze instead.
I was on the Pampered chef site and noticed that they too have an airfryer. It’s more like a rack system, so I don’t think you’ll like it, but I thought it was interesting that they got on this bandwagon too. 😂
UMM… So It looks like that the Cosori Dual Blaze you have repeatedly mentioned as your FAVORITE is now being replaced with the Typhur that is EXTREMELY Expensive to all of us “little people” that follow your channel…. I ❤️ your content - BUT this last one has me questioning a lot….
As I said, it does a great job and is the one of the three I recommend! The Typhur is great for those times that I want more space for cooking more food. It's not for everyone and hopefully the entire video helped all people find something that works for their needs. :)
@@empoweredcooks Thanks Cathy! I most definitely did not intend my comment/question to be disrespectful in ANY way and I must apologize if you thought that I was criticizing any of the Cosori’s! Because they to be the most prevalent AF you use on all of your videos… Which I personally like because I ❤ my DualBlaze that I got because of the RECALL of my original 5.8 AF…. Which I completely ❤d too!!😊 L
Good morning. Thanks for the Air Fryer 411. By the way, I placed a large order for pine and pepper. They shipped two items, and Olga emailed me to order on Amazon because they had been moved there. The mister I ordered was not on Amazon, and I was refunded for it and the other items. Where can I get the mister you recommend?
I am glad I found your videos. Although, you have not reviewed any of the air fryers that I bought the other info about air fryers PERIOD are very useful and my new 'go to' references. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. New subbie here ❤
@robertwilliams5618 i came here looking for good recommendations myself, boss, but I had hoped they would have known better than to recommend the toxic lining ones.
Hi I am watching your video on my firstick and the sound is terrible. It's the same on all your videos but it's totally fine with all other videos I watch. Such a shame as I love your channel and your videos but sadly I can't watch them unless the sound is good. For some reason it seems ok on the phone so I am limited to a small screen 😞
Hi, I am far in Europe, Portugal. I would like to ask you about Air Fryer Cosori Dual Blaze Twinfry™ Chef Edition 10L, do you know it, is it a good buy. Thanks

Given the temperature that an air fryer routinely operates at, any PTFE coating will be hazardous as sit breaks down inside of half of year of near daily use. Always look for an air fryer with a ceramic coating.
My understanding is that it's 500˚ F when this becomes an issue: www.healthline.com/nutrition/nonstick-cookware-safety#teflon-and-pfas
Do you have a less expensive recommendation for an air fryer with a ceramic basket?
I have had the circle basket ninja, didn't regret having that for the 2 or 3 years i've owned it. But looking to possibly upgrade to a double basket as I think it might be nice to have the ability to cook two things at different temps at once. Otherwise the circle ninja is perfect in my opinion.

I agree with you that horizontal space is more important than depth. More than twice the price of most other fryers is a big negative.
It actually does just fine! We made some mini pumpkin pies in ramekins in there a few days ago and I was worried abt the tops burning but it didn't! Yes, the price tag is the biggest downside for sure.
Have you ever reviewed the Gourmia air fryer sold at Costco? Cannot find a review of that model on your channel.
I just bought and tried my air fryer today . Don’t pay too much guys . Look for something simple and easy to use .
yeah had Corsrosi XXL, good machine, cold outside, but loud and hard to clean by hand. Tefal now, quiet, hotter, easier to wipe
Thanks, always enjoy your honest opinions as I'm still trying to decide on which one to get...price is a factor and now I know to get a six quart at least. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Needed this two days ago! 🤣 Arrived last evening! At least it’s still unopened. Actually two weeks ago. Bought one I’m sending back for poor performance. 😭 I was afraid of Teflon so I bought a Ninja because it has ceramic coating but I don’t like it. Just replaced with an instant Vortex and am afraid of the Teflon. Glad to know about the Typhur. But yikes on the price! Not sure about that!
Sorry I didn't get this out sooner! :)
I love ❤️ my Cosori Dual Blaze. I almost never use my oven any more.
Love your videos. I have limited space; however, I own a Cosori and a microwave. I want to consider a combo microwave/air fryer/convection unit. Can you please review one of these combo units? Trying to get back some counter space/
Please make a vid about air-fryers without the non - stick coat. I really hate Teflon and I am searching for another option. Thank you for all these infos!
My review video from last year I talk abt the Paula Deen and Yedi air fryers. The Typhur in this video is also ceramic coated.
Hi. Black Friday sales shopping I bought a Ninja Air Fryer Pro XL(6.5 qt) and an Instant Vortex Plus (6 qt). Both claim to be ceramic coated. I have been looking for comparision videos, but having trouble finding them. I have watched several of your videos. Can you tell me which one you would suggest I keep? Thanks you.
I would like to see the Cuisinart and Black+Decker air fryers on your channel. have you tried them? I bought the TOA-70 cuisinart oven style. I always had a toaster oven growing up so I thought I would enjoy this style. I am a little worried about mess so I find myself reluctant to use it. not having teflon was important to me... I ended up ordering an assortment of trays, racks, dishes that I hope will give me more confidence to explore variety with this air fryer. My sister has the smaller version of the same style and loves it, that is what drew me to it in the first place. after reading reviews on many air fryers and seeing complaints about plastic smell I decided I would be most comfortable with the cuisinart oven style. I actually ordered the 6qt cuisinart basket style but before it arrived I watched a review video that showcased the obnoxious beep, and I returned it without even opening it.
I am thinking I'll get the Turbo Blaze if I get another. Is it true you can mute the beep on the turbo blaze? I think if I use liners the convenience will outweigh my aversion to teflon 🤪
I did reheat some corn chips from a mexican restaurant in the TOA-70 and they came out so good. This air fryer also has an element on the bottom... Have you tried this one? I know you say you don't like the oven style....
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with air fryers. They are new to me.
A really great podcast, you have really unknotted the air fryer for me. I am watching the Air Fryers for 2024. I found that you making some recipe’s in the air fryer to demonstrate was so helpful. Thank you so much. I found a new great channel🙏🏻💖 Sara
I love my basket style Cosori air fryer ♥️
I have a Netta airfryer it's cheap at just £39 a game changer power just 1300 and it's not slow it Cooke fast over 2 000 people have bought it 4.2L
Hey kiddo!!! I watched this just because I enjoy you so much and you always remind me of some trick I’ve forgotten…you steered me to the Cosori 5.8 in 2022… I still love it and use it three or four times a week if not more…because I’m basically a lazy cook 😅, I use the parchment liners to help with cleanup…have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and hope you will have them all home together at least to eat for their star ratings!!!😂🥰
Hi Gail! I am glad you are enjoying your Cosori still! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving too! :) I will have everyone except my daughter and her hubby and baby :( - but looking forward to TOGETHER time! :) Take care!
Hi there dear Cathy! Do you have any opinion about Xiaomi smart air fryer? I didn't saw it in your vids, I have a brand new one, never used and Im looking to send it as a gift to someone. Thank you!
I very much appreciate your informations that you give to the people
Great video sweetie as usual. I love all of my air fryers for different reasons. The Tastee air fryer is another great on as well. Thank you
Glad you're enjoying that one! I liked a lot about it, except the interface was a bit small/dim if I recall. I gave that one to my newly married nephew and his bride. :)
I love my Tastee airfryer. Protiens come out great every time.
Great!
I thought I would use all those preset buttons also, but found that I almost never use them either. They are gimmicky to me. They are programmable so you can change any one of them to time and temps you want them to be but even then I don’t find myself using them.
I was gifted a 5 quart. So far so good. Atleast I can see if a better one would be worth it.
How about the Princess airfyer ? They look pretty good
I'm new to your videos, and new to air frying, getting ready to buy one. FIRST, I want to know where you got the top that you're wearing in this video! I love it! 😊 And I'm really looking forward to watching your other videos!
Thank you! I got it at Nordstrom Rack a few months ago! :)
@empoweredcooks I love Nordstrom Rack!
While I love the cooking performance of my Cosori Dual Blaze, the controls are simply awful - the dark, tiny print makes me crazy! If I were to replace it, the Dreo Chefmaker would be my choice.
Yes, it's a bummer... they are hard to read!
Will you do a video on the Cosori Dual basket air fryer please? Thanks
Always informative videos. I have a 2 drawer Ninja and the Dreo. Love both and between them pretty well covered, HOWEVER, the Typhur Dome, with the "shallow" pan, is it possible to do something that "rises", such as bread??
Hi Cathy , thanks for your update of new and not so new air fryers . I’d like to wish you and all of your family a Happy And Healthy Thanksgiving . Enjoy your Turkey Day
Thanks Jacqueline! Wishing you the same! xoxo
What do you think about The Emerald 26 court air fryer.
With french doors. My daughter said it is wonderful so I don't know.
The oven style Cosori ceramic one looks nice, "Flat-Sealed Heating Elements for Easy Cleanup"
I actually tested that one and was not a fan. It never made it to the channel.
Great review, thanks for sharing and informing!
Thanks for watching!
Is the Typhur drawer deep enough to cook a spatchcocked chicken?
Hmm, I have not tried that.
Ever use any of the Gourmia products? Also any thoughts on the see through windows that are becoming more common? Thx
The Teflon issue is anything over 500 degrees. Air fryers only top out at 400 degrees; so you’re safe! :)
Hi! May I know what your experience was with the Instant Vortex Plus 6qt, the one that's highly recommended in a lot of places? I know you talked about the versazone but not this one specifically. Do you not prefer it for the same Pre-heat reason as the Versazone? I'm trying to decide between a Cosori Pro 2 or the Vortex Plus? Would appreciate your input!
Stellar reviews as always!
Happy Holidays and God Bless🤗❤️
Thanks Ellen! Good to see you!
I know I could do a search for it, but I don't see your link for the ✅ Typhur Dome Self Cleaning Air Fryer in the description.
Good info all around. Thank you.
Ah! Thanks for reminding me! ha ha :) Here is the link! amzn.to/3OnZgDn
How about the Tastee?
Could you please give some advice regarding Russell Hobbs satisfry air and grill 😊
We’re only 2 people, I was thinking of a 4qt but your video has me reconsidering. I want one with a viewing window. Was looking at Beelicous 4qt but it’s only 1550 waats. Please advise.
I'd for sure go with a 6 qt so you have more room for more options when cooking for two! ❤️
What is the average life of an air fryer and does the cosori duelblaze have a replacement basket?
I know of people that have had the same air fryer for years! I have not seen a replacement for the DualBlaze... you may want to reach out to their customer service on their website.
@Empowedred Cooks are you going to make a video about which models to avoid? I’m sending a Ninja back for poor performance and the fact the drawer front still smells toxic, and I have the replacement Instant Vortex Plus unopened in my kitchen. Bit worried about it’s Teflon and also the odor reviews. Is it one to return? Can’t afford the Typhur.
She has a video on the Instant Vortex Plus from 2 years ago. She gave it a thumbs up or 4 out of 5.
Hi there, I have talked abt some of these in other review videos. I think you will like the INstant Vortex Plus. The one I had included the odor filter. The only downside to it is the "forced preheat" (exact same issue that I had with Instant air fryer I showed in this video). Otherwise, performance is just good! I reviewed a few of the Ninja air fryers last month and didn't recommend any of them. I'm not a fan!
Great informational video as always. 👍
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family. 🦃
Thanks Pat! Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving too. xoxo
How to clean that chefmaker?
Hello. I would like please your honest opinion on the COSORI 9.0-Quart Dual Basket Air Fryer
Great information.
Thanks for watching!
have you heard of the galanz microwave air fryer
Not happy at all with my Dreo, looking for a different air fryer. It cooked steaks great when I first got it, but the last 4 I have cooked in there have been like a tough boot, even over cooked on the sous vide setting.
Sorry to hear that - possible the steak quality wasn't as good? Have you tried reaching out to customer support?
@empoweredcooks I have not. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hi is there any air fryer free of PTFE, PFOA, PFOS, and BPA and i heard stainless steel and ceramic is bad as well. i am so paranoid now lol my air fryer broke but i did hear about them being toxic few months ago
Did you ever get an answer
Have you reviewed the
COSORI Clear Window Air Fryer, 6.5 Quart?
If so, how does it compare to the Cosori featured in this video? I'm trying to decide between the two.
Hey! I reviewed it last year. It functions almost identical to the Cosori Pro II. It is 6.5 qt but only because the basket is a little deeper. The machine itself is loud (fan and beeps) just like the Pro II as well. I gave that one to my daughter and she likes it fine! But I prefer the TurboBlaze instead.
How well does the Dreo Chefmaker cook foods that are not cuts of meat?
Great question! It cooks just fine! Since it's slightly smaller, I use my Cosori or Typhur for that though.
Hi Cathy, thanks for everything🎉🎉🎉your recipe Website ist Not working... Greetings from Germany, Carola
Which one is ceramic and not toxic teflon?
The Typhur is ceramic.
I was on the Pampered chef site and noticed that they too have an airfryer. It’s more like a rack system, so I don’t think you’ll like it, but I thought it was interesting that they got on this bandwagon too. 😂
Ha ha - YES I've had viewers mention this to me for a few years now!
UMM… So It looks like that the Cosori Dual Blaze you have repeatedly mentioned as your FAVORITE is now being replaced with the Typhur that is EXTREMELY Expensive to all of us “little people” that follow your channel…. I ❤️ your content - BUT this last one has me questioning a lot….
As I said, it does a great job and is the one of the three I recommend! The Typhur is great for those times that I want more space for cooking more food. It's not for everyone and hopefully the entire video helped all people find something that works for their needs. :)
@@empoweredcooks
Thanks Cathy!
I most definitely did not intend my comment/question to be disrespectful in ANY way and I must apologize if you thought that I was criticizing any of the Cosori’s! Because they to be the most prevalent AF you use on all of your videos… Which I personally like because I ❤ my DualBlaze that I got because of the RECALL of my original 5.8 AF….
Which I completely ❤d too!!😊
L
Philips Airfryer 3000 is the best .. why you didn't test it?
Thank you, your information was awesome. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Thanks for watching Carolyn! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Have you checked out the Emeril Lagasse biggest latest and greatest?
I am looking for one without plastics. I think it was the ninja or cuisinart that smelled like burning plastic.
I actually have that one in my house still in a box. Will be reviewing it soon!
Review the Fritaire
Good morning. Thanks for the Air Fryer 411. By the way, I placed a large order for pine and pepper. They shipped two items, and Olga emailed me to order on Amazon because they had been moved there. The mister I ordered was not on Amazon, and I was refunded for it and the other items. Where can I get the mister you recommend?
Hi Banagal - sorry abt the tech issues we had! Glad you got the other two products from us.
The oil sprayer is here! amzn.to/4eLq3Eo
So you don't recommend the Cosori air fryer 2.1 qt?
Nope!
I bought an air fryer that have a round basket why it’s not good?
Do you sell inserts for the 12” basket? Idk if i could get an air fryer without the parchment inserts
Hey there! I don't, but I have used the 9x9 ones in that Dreo air fryer at times. They work fine!
Why don’t you recommend a round one?
I am glad I found your videos. Although, you have not reviewed any of the air fryers that I bought the other info about air fryers PERIOD are very useful and my new 'go to' references. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. New subbie here ❤
Youre recommending air fryers with the toxic Teflon coating.
Which one do you recommend?
@robertwilliams5618 the fully stainless steel ones
@@ANewEvilRising any good one cheap ones in particular?
@robertwilliams5618 i came here looking for good recommendations myself, boss, but I had hoped they would have known better than to recommend the toxic lining ones.
Have u tested xiaomi ? Does any of them have a app for the phone ? Xiaomi have it :)
Never heard of it! And yes, Dreo and Typhur have an app with the phone, as well as the Dual Blaze.
@@empoweredcooks Can u test xiaomi too ? :D
4:00 Blurs out the three then the three are the background. Made me laugh, but thank you for the good video!
PHILIPS Combi XXL HD9880
So you like the Typhur dome ?
Yep! And I still like the Cosori Turbo Blaze and Dreo Chefmaker as well
Hi
I am watching your video on my firstick and the sound is terrible. It's the same on all your videos but it's totally fine with all other videos I watch. Such a shame as I love your channel and your videos but sadly I can't watch them unless the sound is good. For some reason it seems ok on the phone so I am limited to a small screen 😞
So interesting that it's worse on the TV!
@@empoweredcooksechoing is a problem on this video
Too late. I bought the one on sale at Costco
how are air fryers with smoke? I am afraid of the smoke alarm going off. I just bought an air fryer and i want a burger out of it so bad right now
Put some bread underneath the tray to absorb grease and it should prevent air fryer from smoking!
Hi, I am far in Europe, Portugal. I would like to ask you about Air Fryer Cosori Dual Blaze Twinfry™ Chef Edition 10L, do you know it, is it a good buy. Thanks
Ninja dual drawer cannot be beaten, its the best ever
I agree 💯 I love my 🆕 ninja dual drawer. I love how you can come more than one dish at a time a have it done at the same time 😊😁
