Cosori kindly sent us one to review. We were shocked at the quality, speed of cooking and the size of the cooking tray on this Cosori Lite 3.8 Litre Air Fryer. It's ideal for people living on their own, students or if you have limited space in your kitchen. In this video we put it to the test. Let's see how it does.

I love the way he explains what they’re going to do next and she takes no notice of him at all. Genius!
I too used to love the Fray Bentos but absolutely agree the meat has almost disappeared , had to smile when you realised the cooking instructions are on the bottom of the tin once you've opened it, catches me every time.
That little Cosori looks amazing.
but the fray bentos gravy is nice to mash your spuds into.
About a year ago I found a Fray Bentos pie at the local supermarket here in Tasmania. I was so excited having fond memories of eating them in the UK back in the 1950s/60s. Never have I eaten so tasteless and expensive a pie. Bitterly disappointed. I'm definitely going to try your homemade pie idea though I'll most likely make my own filling in my InstantPot.
Easy enough to keep a little of the tin of meat nd make your own gravy.I know I'd have to as I loathe a dry pie unless it's a traditional scotch pie
Fray Bentos used to be a rare treat for us kid's back in the 70's. Now, they've gone the same way as Holland's Steak & Kidney Pies's, Hardly any real meat, just gristle & chemically thickened gravy. Virtually tasteless. Like most British stuff, they USED to be good.
@@cdub5033 Fray Bentos is the capital city of the Río Negro Department, in south-western Uruguay, at the Argentina-Uruguay border, near the Argentine city of Gualeguaychú. The Fray Bentos products we remember were never British; they were made in Uruguay. When Fray Bentos food company was taken over Baxters and manufactured in UK was when the quality deteriorated.
The Fry Bentos pie is now a gravy and air pie in pastry.
Ive got a fray bentos ready to go in the air fryer tonight. Some mash and carrots lovvvvely
I had 2 Fray Bentos pies amongst my emergency food supply. I cooked one yesterday. It was crap. I saved the can and used a can of stewed steak from the same supply, as I was rotating my stock and using those past the best by dates. I bought some frozen puff pastry and my mistake was to use the pie tin as a cutter, instead of cutting round it. The result was a bit of a gravy leak, but it was so much better than the Fray Bentos pie. Thanks for the idea.
I was thinking of keeping the fray bentos tin after to make my own as well 👍
@@Juls27989 I only used it once, then let the dogs have it to lick clean, so of course it got chewed to bits. It's probably worth only doing it once.
God, you know how to bring back old memories. They use to be the best meat pies back in the day until they mucked about with the portions of meat inside. Thanks for trying it because now I don't have to.
These tinned pies where £1:00 each just over a year ago, now in Morrisons £2:50
And everyone has sold out of the 2drawer ninja, all because of you haha, glad we got ours x
@roly,I was shocked at the price of the Ninja,I couldn't afford it so I went with the Tower half the price but just as good I reckon,I'm getting great results anyway☺
@@anni50ful I have a friend who has the Tower and loves it. Martin & Sharon are brilliant people and after watching Martin for 4 yrs I’ve made a small fortune for rescue dogs with various items that I have made.
I remember having the Fray Bentos pies as a kid. One pie between 2 adults and 5 kids with spuds and veg and seemd to have loads of meat. Have had them recently but definitely agree with the comments they are not the same. Watching this has inspired me to make my own pies, just seems so easy, never thought of using tinned steak/mince. Love the videos.
Love love love these two! Martin loves his food even though he has cut back and Sharon is fantastic all the way around. Both are really. So fun and don't listen to the haters. It is your show, in your kitchen and if you lick your fingers, I am not mad. Who doesn't in their own kitchen! Love from Kansas, USA!
Thank you so much 😁
I always laugh when I see Merlin in the background trying to half inch the oven gloves off the cooker 😂. Great video, the homemade pie looked lovely
😁
I noticed that too. So funny 😂
You can't beat homemade pies, even if you are short on time, with tin meat and ready made pastry it's a breeze .thank you for sharing the video
I love that you do the comparison in not just taste,price etc you are really giving very good advice to make
lovely food as cheap as possible.I come from a family of professional cooks you are persuading me to invest in an air fryer .Look forward to your blogs.
Thank you so much 🙂
I agree, it’s a very practical “review “ of a childhood favourite. Love the way you use supermarket staples to make tasty food
You guys crack me up. They are both rubbish. Fray bentos V a tin of stewed steak and ready made pastry ? They are both the same. Make your own steak filling and pastry then maybe you can make a comparison.
I would never have thought to make a pie out of a tin of meat. The homemade one looked much nicer. Gonna give this one a go xx
Can't beat homemade. Love the soggy bottom.
Back in the 70's growing up as a child, if you could afford a Fray Bentos pudding or pie you were a someone, they were exceptional quality.
I had Goblin Puddings. Fray Bentos were a one off treat.
Nowdays Fray Bentos are a cheap pie / pudding, stocked in many discount stores,
Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M etc
Poor quality compared to Fray Bentos in the 1970's
👍🏻👍🏻😁
Absolutely, they were a treat for us in the early 70s. There is NO comparison to the ones available now.
Waitrose sell them.
@@JazzFunkNobby1964 M&S don't, but M&S sell only quality food 👍🏻👍🏻😁
@@LeeJohn70 Haha
Did they contain 1 real whole goblin ? They must have been good.
I totally agree with you both, I used to love fray bentos steak and kidney pies. I tried one only a couple of months ago, after not eatting one for about ten years, never again!
Loved the Larry Grayson reference "shut that drawer" 🤣 priceless.
I am finding out so many tips and tricks with these air fryers since I have been watching your video's, I wouldnt even have thought about putting a fray bentos pie in one or making my own and cooking one in there, thank you & keep them coming. 👍😋
You are so welcome!
One of your viewers further down on this list says that fray bentos was bought out so I sent a reply back saying that explains it then why they are less filling in them now and gone down hill,and she suggested a great idea to keep the tin from the fray bentos pie,then you will have a tin in when you want to make your own,great idea.😊I also love watching your channel they are absolutely great.my mum also used to buy fray bentos pies too.
I used to enjoy Fray Bentos pies, (1960s) but they got worse over time. I always kept the empty tins to store spare Bike Chains. They stack very nicely: ).
Tins are OK, but the pie fillings got cheaper, & I'd say make your own nowadays.
@@johnf4279 well that's what butlers empire are sort of saying it's best to do your own.at least you will get more filling out of it.
I used to love the Fray Bentos pies. There did used to be loads of meat in them. Also the Birdseye beef in gravy was lovely and tender. Now it’s like chewy boot leather. Not even sure they still make them 🤷♀️. The soggy bit on the underneath of the FB pie was my favourite lol but then I used to love the skin on school custard. It was so thick it was chewable 🤣🤣🤣. So I may be a bit strange lol. Your home made pies did look much nicer and so quick and easy. 👍👍👍
Love the anticipation from the dog ,every time Sharon opened a tin 😀
Home made pies are so easy, and you can put any filling in. It can make leftovers go a long way, especially with mixed veg from the freezer or tinned.
I use to have goblin puddings when i was young
Thanks for the videos it’s given me some confidence to start using mine more
Everyone is complaining about them fray bentos pie’s, they used to be nice, but now it’s just a gravy pie with pastry, l thought your pie’s looked delicious.😋👍
Well I learned from this, that tin and pyrex can be used in the airfryer and your home made pie makes perfect sense too.
Another great video. Keep up the good work Sharon & Martin xx
We need to get the country cooking home made food again, rather than spending so much on cardboard food at fast food chains, and then complaining they haven’t got any money left, that’s how we will get out of this cost of living crisis. Another great video guys.
Exactly! I always wonder when people say they can't feed the family inexpensively 🤔
My example is always - A whole cheapo chicken, cut into 8 pieces casseroled in a baking pan or slow cooker with a bag of frozen veg and spices/seasonings/pasta sauce/curry sauce, or even a can/packet of soup & serve with rice or mash.
You could make it 10 times without it being the same meal = Italian, Greek, Moroccan, Indian, Asian.
And don't even get me started on what you can do with a cheap mince 🤣
Great job. I had my first fray bentos in years just a few days before seeing this. They are definitely not how they used to be, they used to be packed with meat. Now it's just flour and a couple of chunks of kidney to keep you hopefull. They were good once, but I will definitely be trying this. Might even invest in the air fryer. Hearing about so many recipe's for it. Looking forward to seeing more ✌🏻
@@My2up2downCastle I'm living on my own now and my Instant air fryer and pressure cooker do most of my cooking. In two years I used the oven twice and have taken out my cooker and replaced it with a small induction cooktop. Never going back to standard cook stove.
How much a tin of stewed steak plus some frozen party. I bet that would be an arm and a leg.
You can buy the Fray bentos for £1,50 at a B. M i think half the homemade one
I've never liked Fray Bentos pies, they never had much meat in them and the pastry was always soggy and seemed greasy. I never thought of using tinned steak to make pies so thanks to you both for that idea.
Thank you Guys you've confirmed what we experienced sadly the Fray Bentos is not what it used to be!!!
Agreed, I tried the fray bentos for nostalgic reasons and they aren't the same quality. They've also doubled the price. Make your own.
Love the video. You should see the dog's eyes when you opened those tins. Magic.
I know which one I choose????
Definitely your Homemade one looked very,very tasty, and better value for 💰!!
Nice one Mr&Mrs B 👍
Sharon's is always going to be better Martin, she's a good cook 👍
Cook? Opening a tin of meat and a pack of pastry?
back in the day....... Fray Bentos was a luxury and one tin had to do four of us !!!!!
Always loved Fray Bentos pie for Tea as a child. But now I don’t think I would eat them to be honest, rather make my own eh 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Martin and Sharon, I too used to like those Fray Bentos pies BUT a lot has happened to them in 45 years, a great Cosori video, My daughter has just informed me she is cooking a chicken in the one I bought her, Take care.
Im more impressed how easily the lid came off..
Honest to goodness real review. Can't get enough of your everyday food prep and recipes. Yep, bet that FBent was horrible compared to the other. I may have a go at this. Supermarkets stock the gluten-free puff pastry now, so it would be way cheaper than buying gluten-free products (which cost the earth for what they are in comparison to regular baked goods). Fab vid. ❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We once tried a Fray Bentos steamed steak pudding (might have been steak and kidney) - its was absolutely foul - all soggy pastry and a severe absence of meat. Based on our experience they should be shut down. Many thanks for your videos they are really helpful. We are thinking about an Air Fryer for ourselves.
New to your channel and really enjoying it. You guys make a great team xx You are so down to earth, have great ideas and make me smile xx
Thanks for watching, glad you liked the video Lynn
I ❤ that you call Sharon “Baby”, so sweet 😊
Ya cant beat home made stuff, fraybentos aint what they used to be when i was a kid, great video guys, definately trying the stewed steak pies, 👍🏻❤
You can buy pies just like the Fray Bentos one but produced by a different company. Can't recall the name offhand. I do enjoy them,. always have, even though there's nothing much too them. Even so, I love watching this couple's demos and have posted links to friends on Facebook. One has just bought an air fryer after seeing videos like this.
definitely on my list,Fray Bentos arent anything like they used to be!,cant wait to try it!!!
Brilliant thanks you so much for sharing, you two are a great to watch xx
Wow fray bentos pastry looks lush that's the best part of the pie pity there's not enough meat in them 🤨 but yours wow wow wow gonna try it your so helpful to a newbie like myself to air frying thanks can't wait for next video 🥰
Thank you 😋
I just found you guys yesterday on my recommended page when you were doing a christmas dinner in the air fryer. I have subscribed and set the notification bell to ALL. I find your channel to be informative and having a laugh at the same time 😂 i am over the pond in Dublin Ireland so I can get the ingrediants to everything very easily . Thanks guys. You are a great team 👍
Thanks for the sub and glad you like the video Sandra.
This video inspired me to make the first pie in my life. I just wondered what you do with the leftover pastry after cutting the pastry tops out ? The only thing I have in is Irish stew for the filling. I didn't realise the rolled pastry was so small, they're cooking now. Thanks so much !
Finished -
If you put pastry at the bottom , it will never cook enough . In an air fryer, its best to turn over the top pastry (if you haven't crimped it) and cook it.
I know I’m late to the party but if you’re still making pies and wondering what to do with your pastry scraps, here’s what I do:
Re-roll out the pastry, spread marmite on it and sprinkle some cheese, then roll it up and cut slices (so you end up with spirals) then cook them for 10 mins or so - great little snacks!
Also works with chocolate spread, jam or pesto if you’re adverse to marmite
Sometimes I cut 2 inch squares instead and put a slice of tomato, some cheese and seasoning diagonally in the middle, then bring each other corner in and seal together in the middle over the filling with a dab of water. Again cook for 10 mins or so and you have filled puff pastry bites 😊
If I really can’t use the scraps I have a bag of scraps in the freezer, then when I have enough I defrost the bag and use that to make pies etc 😊
The thing about the Fray Bentos is actually the pastry, the sogginess is all part of it 😂
I actually like having them in for convenience xx
Thanks for doing this xx
Awww one my brother s favourite pies well was ! Yes defo going do same as freeze them, thanks showing just need get air fryer now.
I think there must be a national competition to find the piece of meat in the Fray Bentos pie. So far I have failed.
My Ninja two drawer fits the fray bentos pies. Cooks them perfectly, pastry wonderful. I havn't found drop in meat content in past ten years. Dont like the way Cosori is giving away their fryers to you tubers...cheap advertising. I will stick with my trusty great Ninja.
Do love your videos, good fun and great tips. Cheers, 👍 🇦🇺
It was funny watching the oven glove disappearing 'cos you couldn't see the culprit, but we know who. Will be making my own pies in future. Plan to get a crimpet too and use mincemeat for a Christmas treat to go with Sharon's Christmas cake.
I made a homemade pie mash and liquor. It was wonderful. I like those little suet steam puddings can't seem to find them anymore. 😋😋
Frey bentos still do them.
morrisons or tesco
My next pie is being cooked in the air fryer. I cooked yesterday's joint of beef in mine yesterday... It was perfect.
Like the way the guy does the commentary whilst his misses does all the work, great vid
I just watched your chicken wings with chuckles sauce, clocked the fray bentos on a counter and thought , they won't will they?
and you did, awesome
Sharon is a very understanding lady, good luck to you both
Awwww little Merlin! Great convenience, and fabulous informative UTubers! xxxx
Thanks so much 😊
Merlin is thinking- 'Yes you could use the rest of the tin to make me a pie.'
I won't buy anymore of these pies . The chicken & mushroom pie had about one tablespoon of meat . . The beef pie was mainly gristle . . It's a shame because we used to have these pies when I was a kid .
Just full of sauce now and small dubious meat. I wouldn't put one out for the foxes
Who actually buys them for filling it's the puff pastry people buy them for 😂
@@thelion43 just as well, no filling, just pastry and sloppy sauce.
I've been told the vegetarian Balti pie is good.
@@lat1419 you'll be fine with any of the fray bentos pies as no meat in any of them😉
I bought a Fray bentos from Blighty’s in Ontario here. I was so disappointed, hardly anything inside them, nothing like I remember them.
The homemade one looks great 👍
It was!
Stumbled across your channel and binge watched.
New fan.
Thanks Stevie
Love the little dinky pie dishes.
Love your home made pies looks delicious watching from South Africa
Brill can I suggest when you put salt n vinegar on owt you put vinegar on first so salt sticks to it keep up the good work av got mental problems but you help me ty so much
Looks good in the air fryer well done and Sharon's homemade one looks very good keep up with the vlogs
Thanks so much
Just had a Fray Bentos last night. It was lovely, no nutrition, but lovely:) but I'll try your hack next time.
Pie it is for me tomorrow then 🤗👏👏love you guys 💖💙
Hey
Those little molds would also make fruit pies with a pastry top. I do that. Apple season and have made three this week.great for one person.
Wish I had molds like yours.
There's a link below the video in the description of a similar mold Patsy.
Think I need to get an air fryer cheers shaz and Martin
At least at the moment despite insane energy price rises they are both (gas/electric) rising with each other. I am so glad that I have a gas cooker to make all my meals with, it's literally 5-10 x cheaper for the energy and so much simpler to cook with than any electric whether air fryer, microwave, or full blown oven and range.
The Fray Bentos and Princes meat pies are a terrible pathetic version of what they once were. I used to buy them as a kind of dog food as my dogs loved to scrape the baked on pastry on the edge of the tin and they could also treat the tin as a temporary dog bowl. Fun times.
I bought a 3.5LCosori. It has a nice dial system and it is spacious as you say. I love it, but I did buy it because you did such a good video on your channel with a big Cosori.
Very nice!
I have just had one of those after seeing this earlier. Cooked in the Air Fryer using your guidelines & like you, I used to love them years ago & they were tasty.................Not now, had 3 minute pieces of meat & all tasteless. Going to make my own now.
Can't beat homemade pies loved merlin I wouldn't of stopped him grabbing the bentos pie lol 😂🤗😉
The Butlers @2:24 clearly you are Larry Grayson fans "Shut that draw" oops I mean "door' 🤣🤣🤣
I think Merlin is starving he is eating the oven gloves 😂 my husband loves pies it might be a good idea to start making them ,many thanks ☺
I do fray bentos pies at 200c for 15 mins, save the tin and use it again as perfect size for my little air fryer
Fray Bentos used to be a special treat when staying at grand parents in the 70's , nowadays looks like more meat in a tin of dog food , used to love the pastry , but wouldnt buy one now , should rename them Shy Bentos , the pie with flaky pastry and gravy , and 1 piece of meat if your lucky 👍😉
well the fray bentos had a flavour all of its own that's why we love them !! combine the best of both worlds and take lid of fray bentos and add some the stewing steak !? ✅😋
way back then, the ratio was one FB pie one can of beans and a few scoops of Smash
martin and sharon fray bentos i was raised on them they aint the same .........................................try using lidl tin chicken curry in a pie wow really good
To be Honest nearly everything you buy now has been reduced in it's ingredients. It got to the stage where prices became ridiculously high so manufacturers started to cut back on the weight and size of products. And cut back on real wholesome fillings
Thank you, you have en spired me, I also loved fray bentos when I was young.
Ahah did I see Merlin make off with your oven glove from your big cooker. Will definitely have a go at making that pie. Thanks.
Nostalgia, and a lack of pies overall in Spain, had me grabbing a couple of FB pies recently. Pie 1 looked and tasted how I would imagine wartime rations would have. Pie 2 was binned without opening. Don't understand how you can destroy a product like this, and still be in business.
Gosh not had a fray bentos pie in years, and I don't think I'll be having one any time soon, will try the princes tins though 😅 and make my own ones looked really nice 👍 ❤
I agree there’s nothing like the flavour of the old fray bentos
Oh No Martin you didnt do the best bit at the taste test "Im Going In" lol.... Another top video keep them coming
Next time!
Still new to the air frying, so glad you can use tins and Pyrex in the air fryer. I have the air fryer/oven/rotisserie/dehydrator version.
Yes you can. it's just a turbo oven.
Thanks folks
I had a steak and kidney the other day, it wasnt stuffed with meat, but still tasty, amd they do well in an airfryer, but i reduce temp to 180 for about 20 same as you.
👍 we are going to buy a Cosori,looks so good 😊
great video again Martin / Sharon, am just sitting down to home made scotch eggs. then chocolate cookies all done in airfryer 👍
Sounds great!
@@butlersempire sure was 👍
Used to love fray bentos with mash and beans
Luvin the vid..Did merlin get some fray bentos then lol😅😅😅💕💕💕
Not this time lol
I do love a pie great video Martin and Sharon as always l think Martin and Lee should do a cooking video that would be great to watch 🤣
Maybe one day
