Having an air fryer has changed cooking for me forever in the absolute best way.

I can cook so many things at once now. And I can put something out of my mind until the timer goes off so I don't scramble to check on everything. It's absolutely life changing

@@EthanHunt-zr7vhnewer convection ovens aren’t that large and take a surprising short amount of time to heat up. Of course with the added benefit they’re not laced with crappy chemicals to cook on, unlike air fryers
The thing that bothered me about that video was him destroying a perfectly fine fryer. Funny thing is that this short is next to Josh's short in my subscriptions page.
Totally agree - Josh lost me at making dyslexic jokes which my dyslexic girlfriend was...unimpressed with, and clearly he's gone downhill since then. It's just childish.
What a thoughtless waste that was! I can imagine so many people that would have appreciated that airfryer so much! I will not enter the drawing for a new airfryer as much as I would like one because I have the means to buy a new one when my current Phillips bites the dust-which will be soon as I use it on the DAILY! I hope someone wins that would not be able to buy one. AND, SHAME ON JOSH for such a needless waste!
Cosori Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. I love making salmon. I like to salt my fillet overnight, and then when I’m ready to enjoy I preheat to 400 degrees. While it’s preheating, I sprinkle some garlic powder onto the salmon and coat it in mayonnaise. I airfry it for 7-9 minutes. It’s so delicious and moist and the mayo browns a little for a “baked salmon sushi” vibe 🤤
Going to university soon and you've inspired me to cook more often so I would love a Cosori 5.8 quart to bring with me (I literally have a list of recipes in my head to try when I'm at university)! As someone who loves baking, I would definitely try making loafs/bread/pies like your banana bread experiment in the air fryer.
For reals. I can’t stand that guy. I stuck around for a min for the good recipes but I couldn’t take it anymore. I unsubscribed from him a long time ago.
@@jamescassar5348 who cares if he is a good cook? His recipes are for the most part full of unconvenient extra steps and gimmicks. There is a reason i never use his stuff when i just want to have a quick meal on the table. Also he is quite unfunny, cringe and i dont like the way he edits his Videos. The last Part is maybe just me and a very subjective critisism.
I’m seeing this late, but I had the exact same thought when Josh smashed his. He clearly did with a bit of disdain over how well it performed “against” him, lmao.
Josh hating on air fryers and talking about them as if it was a sin to use them in a kitchen, meanwhile he always tells his audience to use a rice cooker. Seems a little hypocritical to me...
It's actually worse than hypocritical. In terms of involvement, a rice cooker does 95% of the work for you. A slow cooker about 80%. An air fryer, at best 50%. You still have to know what mode, temperature, timing, and basket arrangement for an air fryer, or you will absolutely destroy your food. This takes time an expertise. A rice cooker literally requires you to dump rice into bin, add water, turn on, then take a nap.
As a chef he should be open to new techniques. I'm not really a fan of air fryers but I used one and for some things it's great. Maybe the name air fryer is the problem, let's call it frire à l'air.
He does hate cause he likes to have control and do every little thing from suaves to buns, to pastas etc. He loves every step of the cooking process so he doesn’t really care about speeding it up, plus he is a professional chef. And if anyone sees the full video he admits that air fryers are good tools for family and they have an use in the kitchen, it’s just not for him
I mean rice cookers just do that. Cook rice. It's essentially an electric pot. Meaning from the cheapest one to the most expensive, it does the same thing. Not all air fryers are made the same.
Josh is kinda a shit like that. Considering one fo his most popular series is making better food then fast foods U know, quick food for masses, where he uses black garlic and Marian row salt or something
The Dual Blaze™ 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer would be sooo cool to have, and honeslty mainly for the space to cook even MORE AIR FRYER FOOD. I've been on a recent kick of making homemade Mc-chickens in the airfryer. Get some chicken, food process that bad boy, season it up, bread as normal, flour -> Egg -> breadcrumbs (I use a little both normal and panko), then airfry. Put that juicy thing on a bun with some kewpie mayo and lettuce and boom, you really got yourself a meal. (Plus ALOT healthier than the alternative!)
That’s crazy! I honestly just stopped watching him about a year ago I decided I’m never gonna make any of his shit with all his random ass ingredients u gotta buy online
Wow that's a shame he did that. I'm a disabled veteran and air fryers help me make food more accessible. I've been wanting to make some air fryer lime shrimp but haven't been brave enough yet. The cosori lite 4.0 quart smart looks so cool, especially in the green shade! 💚 Thanks for restoring the balance.
The Lite 4.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer looks lovely in green. Used to think air fryers weren't all that either but watching you use it has changed my mind, and I've been wanting one for some time now, so.. 🤞🏼😁
On my weight loss journey while I was searching for healthy and low calorie recipes, the Air Fryer meals became more and more relevant! I could really put to use something like a 5.0 Quart Air Fryer to cook veggies, potatoes, lean protein like chicken breast and fish to help me out with the diet.
@@ProHomeCooks hey 👋 it's been more than a week since I sent a mail to the address you provided and I still didn't get any reply. Is the selection still ongoing? Did you get my mail?
As someone that lives in a dorm, I have a hotpot that can be used for frying and an air fryer, using both uses more materials but makes it much easier cooking in the kitchen and I can multitask different dishes.
Honestly props to you for calling him out air fryers can be a total game changer for real people who have busy lives. I personally work 10 to 12 hour shifts minimum five days a week. I love watching your recipes and would love to try the air fried salmon Cosori dual blaze 6.8-quart smart air fryer would be lit😂
The COSORI Dual Blaze™ 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer has been on my radar for awhile, especially when cooking for parties or large groups. I personally enjoy making chicken Karagge, chicken wings, hand-cut fries, or Brussels sprouts.
As a home cook to a growing family of 4, who turns to RUclips for help and inspiration, I cannot even begin to explain all that I have learned from this channel (the same cannot be said of many other cooking channels). So thank you! As someone who hasn’t had a air fryer before, I was thinking the smaller Cosori Lite 4-quart would be the best place to start learning. Plus in come in sweet color options!
I’d love to try the Cosori Lite. The dish I like to make in my air fryer is “Flautas de Pollo” or crispy chicken rolled tacos. I make them at least once a week.
Thank you for this. Josh is so far up on his high horse about everything cooking and food in general that someone else with a platform needed to say it
@@Outdoor-Dom The comment you replied to had nothing to do with his video quality, Josh makes amazingly good quality videos, but all he does is shit on things he doesn’t like.
I have a gas oven and it heats up the house like hell every time I use it, which is fine in the winter, but not in the summer. The air fryer has been my tool for most of the small roasting and heating up frozen food for a quick dinner. I made japanese croquettes and didn't feel like deep frying them, so I put them in there are pre-toasting the panko and they were great
Good luck to all! I’d love one of these at home and for me the Dual Blaze. Love the compact size but a decent basket for all our cooking needs. I’d love to try a one basket dish - salmon, rice, teriyaki, veggies. Good luck to all!
We downsized 3 yes ago and only have an air fryer and propane cooktop. I actually became a better cook and super grateful for these little appliances that allow us to live simpler.
I’d absolutely get the Cosori Dual Blaze 6.8 Quart Smart Air Fryer! I’m an air fryer newbie but have been fascinated with your video on Air Fryer wings and would make those first! Nice video!
I live with an actual hoarder, can't even walk safely around the house. I got an air fryer to finally be able to cook again and it's been a huge difference having that control back in my life.
Oh wow, by far one of my favorite channels. Many thanks for sharing the joy of cooking with such passion and patience. 🙏 I would be so grateful to have the Cosori Dual Blaze, and I must say...i'm pretty curious about using it to cook a whole chicken! Thanks for the opportunity.
I’m going to go with the cosori dual blaze, the main reason being it would be great for prepping meals such as salmon throughout the week and also great for hosting game days for wings!
what bothered me the most was that he destroyed a- like you said, a perfectly good air fryer, when there are other options. that fully functioning air fryer could've been donated or something. but no, he destroyed it for the sake of views, and it brought such an ick to me.
What was worse for me is that he stacked the deck in each recipe in his favour he bought it specifically to destroy, he never had any intention of a fair video. Completely tone deaf from Josh.
the Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer would be great for my kitchen, as a student my usual kitchen workspace is fairly small for the number of people using it, so this would allow me to cook things like salmon with teriyaki sauce, or your air fryer fries recipe on a regular basis when the kitchen is full.
COSORI Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer Would love this airfryer! Thank you for the recipes and help in the kitchen to feed my family of 4! Our favorite meal right now is air fried salmon and asparagus!
I got my first air fryer last week and I ❤ it! We have made the best chips, the best garlic bread, the best vegetables EVER and probably already saved a fair bit of energy. I have a large oven and to make that garlic bread it would have had to been on for at least for an hour. My air fryer did it in five and tasted so good! An amazing piece of gear!
I LOVE my air fryer! And like you, I use it in my every day cooking and love the results. What I don’t like is cleaning my current Cosori model, so I would choose the Dual Blaze® 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. My favorite thing I cook in my air fryer is chicken wings. So many different variations. And they all come out..,Amazing! Love your content and your channel!
My roomate just moved out and took our air-fryer so I would take any model honestly, they all look great! I used to make little premarinated chicken drumsticks from Costco in there and they were the best, no air fryer hate here ever!
If I’m lucky enough to be chosen as one of the winners, my preferred air fryer would be the Dual Blaze 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. My older sister has been complaining about the lack of a broiler on our current one. As for me, I usually use the air fryer to reheat things like bacon, wings, & french fries. It changed the game for my household regarding leftovers. If we’re talking brand new recipes, it was actually your chicken wing recipe that got me curious about air frying.
I just recently started looking into air fryers so I looked up recipes and sadly saw Josh’s vid too 😢 him smashing the fryer hurt me a lil The Cosori Dual Blaze 6.8 looks amazing! It would help so much with cooking for my family of 5 😅 and dude… Air fryer empanadas !! Yes please!!!
I have been wanting an air fryer for a while now. I love the idea of being able to warm up leftovers in it and cooking veggies in it without turning on the whole oven and wasting a bunch of energy. Or making ‘fried’ foods without the danger of heating up a bunch of oil, and the oil smell that stays in your house for forever… I think the Cosori Lite 4.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer would be perfect for my small kitchen and my food needs!
He's like James Oliver who hates chicken nuggets (which just like air fryers - are good, but despised by someone who feels superior). It a mix of classicism and flex, maybe some other factors too...
I would love the 6.8 quart dual blaze air fryer, makes it easier to make my fave potstickers without the oil for pan frying, less babysitting & they're extra crunchy that way.
My air fryer has been broken for some time, so this is exciting! I love making homemade “chips” using fresh made and boiled pasta noodles - just gotta crisp them up in the air fryer! I latched onto this idea once I had my kid and, without giving up my love for snacks, wanted to find an option that wasn’t quite as unhealthy. The seasoning usually is about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of each of the following Chili powder Cayenne Garlic powder Onion powder Smoked paprika (always smoked) Cumin Salt We usually do about a half pound of pasta for this. Throw it in the air fryer preheated to 400F and cook for about 10 min
Dual Blaze™ 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. I've cooked green beans in one owned by a friend and they got succulent, wrinkly, and perfect for making Sichuan style green beans.
This is really lovely. Lite 4.0- quart smart air fryer. I’ve never used an air fryer before, but I’m excited to try salmon and pancake squares with frozen berries.
The Dual Blaze 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer is the air fryer I would pick. I’ve got two toddlers who LOVE pizza. I would love to try a homemade pizza recipe in an air fryer! We unfortunately don’t have an air fryer right now and having one would be a game changer for quick meals. My wife and I both work full time and barely have time in the evenings to cook. Super cool that you’re giving these away!
Lovin the look of the Corsori Lite with the small footprint. I make smashed potatoes and breaded fish all the time. Throw both onto a wrap with some picked ginger, lettuce & kimchi - yuuum!
I'd love to have the Aeroblaze. I think making an entire roast chicken in the unit would be amazing!!! Also I could roast potatoes that would last for the week in this model. Looks great!!! Thank you!!
The Cosori dual blaze 6.8 quart air fryer would be nice. Would help me meal prep for 4 people on those week nights where I don't want to take multiple pans out. I'd love to try out some oven baked fries in it
I’ve worked at a couple of restaurants before and I was skeptical against air fryers until I started using them. They’re innovative and can make your cooking easier especially when you cook at home. It’s so versatile! It has become one of my most used kitchen appliances lately.
The Dual Blaze 6.8 Quart Air fryer looks awesome. We have tried so many times to use the air fryer setting on our oven and it sucks especially in the summer! I don’t want to heat up my house to make a quick dinner for my family in the summer. Super generous of you!
I would go for the Pro LE 5.0-Quart Air Fryer I love roasting veggies so i would use this for brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, beets, butternut... The list goes on. Have never had an air fryer so would love to test it out!
I would choose the Cosori Lite 4 quart looks like tons of fun in the kitchen! Especially in green!! I would immediately make wings and sweet potato fries with a crazy good dipping sause
You and Josh are like the polar opposites of cooking videos. You are home cook, and Josh is aspiring Michelin star. It would be so cool to see you guys face off.
I appreciate the giveaway! I don't have an air fryer but the Cosori Pro LE 5.0 quartz looks cool and has a reasonable price. Would make some chicken wings with seasoned potato wedges.
Hi Mike, my choice is CS100-AO Smart Air Fryer Toaster Oven and would love to cook on the fryer is Salmon, Brussel sprouts and some kind of crispy potatoes. TY, Leo
You should go to the comments section of Josh’s air fryer challenge video then. It’s literally hundreds of people saying how the air fryer is the clear winner.
I legit unsubbed on that video...but not really because of it...least not alone. I've been ignoring his videos for a while because they rub me wrong usually, but watched this one because I usually like "head-to-head" style content and I was like, "yeah, I don't need to watch anything from him anymore."
Yeah his ego trip has crept up on me too, there was something off and this video cemented it, everything is being done for the sake of his ego, previously it had been subtler but seeing the blatant deck stacking clicked everything into place
Ay man, the air fryer is a gift from above. Like someone with a camp fire refusing to use a gas stove- just chill man, it makes good food easier to cook. Certain stuff is better than ever
Vortex™ Plus Dual Black 8 Qt. Air Fryer with ClearCook I often need more room in my air fryer than I have. We use it to reheat everything that will work but I often use it to cook meals that I would cook in the oven but are too small to justify using the oven, salmon packets are my favorite air fryer recipe
I quite like the mobile integration of the Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer and Lite 4.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer. I know it's simple but sweet potato fries with a spicy ranch is something that just makes me happy.
Josh got a well deserved smack down! Eventually he will learn 😂. I would love the white 4 quart Cosori! I wouldnt say my favorite is a recipe, but nothing beats homemade fries or any roasted veggie in the air fryer. Best of luck to everyone
No hate, but I feel like Josh is just doing it for the controversy or smth. The air fryer is a pretty nice kitchen appliances. Like who is against convenience in this day and age when our entire modern age is based on it.
Bro the Lite 4.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer green. I've genuinely been looking for an Air Fryer for ages now. I'd like to make a cool sweet teriyaki chicken with fried rice recipe that I saw a chef on RUclips Shorts make. My birthday was a few days ago so... this would be a cool birthday gift 🎁😮🎉

You are one of my absolute favorite channels!! I have been wanting an air fryer for awhile and haven’t gone through with a purchase just yet, but the Cosori lite 4.0-quart smart air fryer looks awesome in white! I’d love to try classic wings and also salmon in the air fryer 😊
Chefs use "air fryers" all the time. They're called convection ovens, they're staples in most every decent kitchen.
@@EthanHunt-zr7vhnewer convection ovens aren’t that large and take a surprising short amount of time to heat up. Of course with the added benefit they’re not laced with crappy chemicals to cook on, unlike air fryers
Convection ovens don’t have a preheat time, by nature of convection
The thing that bothered me about that video was him destroying a perfectly fine fryer.
Funny thing is that this short is next to Josh's short in my subscriptions page.
Same!
Totally agree - Josh lost me at making dyslexic jokes which my dyslexic girlfriend was...unimpressed with, and clearly he's gone downhill since then. It's just childish.
OMG! My airfryer is my best friend! I use it EVERY DAY! It's my favorite toy in the kitchen!
What a thoughtless waste that was! I can imagine so many people that would have appreciated that airfryer so much! I will not enter the drawing for a new airfryer as much as I would like one because I have the means to buy a new one when my current Phillips bites the dust-which will be soon as I use it on the DAILY! I hope someone wins that would not be able to buy one. AND, SHAME ON JOSH for such a needless waste!
I need to add, that whoever invented the airfryer is my savor, hero, and a saint!
Cosori Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. I love making salmon. I like to salt my fillet overnight, and then when I’m ready to enjoy I preheat to 400 degrees. While it’s preheating, I sprinkle some garlic powder onto the salmon and coat it in mayonnaise. I airfry it for 7-9 minutes. It’s so delicious and moist and the mayo browns a little for a “baked salmon sushi” vibe 🤤
Are u still giving away cos pro fryers?
Going to university soon and you've inspired me to cook more often so I would love a Cosori 5.8 quart to bring with me (I literally have a list of recipes in my head to try when I'm at university)! As someone who loves baking, I would definitely try making loafs/bread/pies like your banana bread experiment in the air fryer.
Josh doesn’t care about home cooks, he cooks for his ego
No.
For reals. I can’t stand that guy. I stuck around for a min for the good recipes but I couldn’t take it anymore. I unsubscribed from him a long time ago.
@@CapnCody1622 pity. You're missing out on one of the best cooks on RUclips
@@jamescassar5348 I don’t disagree with you. He’s a good chef but I can’t stand the guy. I can usually handle cringe but he’s just too much for me.
@@jamescassar5348 who cares if he is a good cook? His recipes are for the most part full of unconvenient extra steps and gimmicks. There is a reason i never use his stuff when i just want to have a quick meal on the table. Also he is quite unfunny, cringe and i dont like the way he edits his Videos. The last Part is maybe just me and a very subjective critisism.
THE COOKINGTUBE DRAMA WE NEEDED
I love cooking and I held back on buying one because of that reason. I finally got mine yesterday and I couldn't be happier.
I’m seeing this late, but I had the exact same thought when Josh smashed his. He clearly did with a bit of disdain over how well it performed “against” him, lmao.
Chef for 25 years.....love my air fryer
Same with my brother in law, he loves it and has been a chef for at least 30 years!
@@isabellest-pierre Dan?
as a chef, I too love my air fryer
Youre banned from the chef community, goodbye commis.
@@empty1724 don't you know that an impingement oven is just a really big air fryer?
Josh hating on air fryers and talking about them as if it was a sin to use them in a kitchen, meanwhile he always tells his audience to use a rice cooker. Seems a little hypocritical to me...
It's actually worse than hypocritical. In terms of involvement, a rice cooker does 95% of the work for you. A slow cooker about 80%. An air fryer, at best 50%. You still have to know what mode, temperature, timing, and basket arrangement for an air fryer, or you will absolutely destroy your food. This takes time an expertise. A rice cooker literally requires you to dump rice into bin, add water, turn on, then take a nap.
As a chef he should be open to new techniques. I'm not really a fan of air fryers but I used one and for some things it's great. Maybe the name air fryer is the problem, let's call it frire à l'air.
He does hate cause he likes to have control and do every little thing from suaves to buns, to pastas etc. He loves every step of the cooking process so he doesn’t really care about speeding it up, plus he is a professional chef. And if anyone sees the full video he admits that air fryers are good tools for family and they have an use in the kitchen, it’s just not for him
I mean rice cookers just do that. Cook rice. It's essentially an electric pot. Meaning from the cheapest one to the most expensive, it does the same thing. Not all air fryers are made the same.
Josh is kinda a shit like that. Considering one fo his most popular series is making better food then fast foods
U know, quick food for masses, where he uses black garlic and Marian row salt or something
The Dual Blaze™ 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer would be sooo cool to have, and honeslty mainly for the space to cook even MORE AIR FRYER FOOD. I've been on a recent kick of making homemade Mc-chickens in the airfryer. Get some chicken, food process that bad boy, season it up, bread as normal, flour -> Egg -> breadcrumbs (I use a little both normal and panko), then airfry. Put that juicy thing on a bun with some kewpie mayo and lettuce and boom, you really got yourself a meal. (Plus ALOT healthier than the alternative!)
I only have a very cheap air fryer and man, I love it! It's improved my meals so much ❤
Josh got SOOOO cringe over the last year or two.
That’s crazy! I honestly just stopped watching him about a year ago I decided I’m never gonna make any of his shit with all his random ass ingredients u gotta buy online
I totally agree.
Yuppp! Used to love his videos. Now he’s just super cringe and creepy
Brah...he's been cringe for a lot longer than that
He was waaay "cringe"-ier before, I can only stand watching him now because he includes other personalities into the videos.
Wow that's a shame he did that. I'm a disabled veteran and air fryers help me make food more accessible. I've been wanting to make some air fryer lime shrimp but haven't been brave enough yet.
The cosori lite 4.0 quart smart looks so cool, especially in the green shade! 💚 Thanks for restoring the balance.
Your videos got me through COVID glad to see you’re still going.
The Lite 4.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer looks lovely in green. Used to think air fryers weren't all that either but watching you use it has changed my mind, and I've been wanting one for some time now, so.. 🤞🏼😁
On my weight loss journey while I was searching for healthy and low calorie recipes, the Air Fryer meals became more and more relevant! I could really put to use something like a 5.0 Quart Air Fryer to cook veggies, potatoes, lean protein like chicken breast and fish to help me out with the diet.

after watching Josh’s air fryer video I went out and bought an air fryer
As someone that lives in a dorm, I have a hotpot that can be used for frying and an air fryer, using both uses more materials but makes it much easier cooking in the kitchen and I can multitask different dishes.
I would loove the airfryer model YOU use and prefer the most!!!!
I could absolutely ditch my oven completely in favor of my air fryer. I LOVE it.
same tho
My pressure cooker/air fryer combo is something I use DAILY. I couldn't cook without either.
Honestly props to you for calling him out air fryers can be a total game changer for real people who have busy lives. I personally work 10 to 12 hour shifts minimum five days a week. I love watching your recipes and would love to try the air fried salmon Cosori dual blaze 6.8-quart smart air fryer would be lit😂
>"i would never use an air fryer lol"
>has convection oven
The COSORI Dual Blaze™ 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer has been on my radar for awhile, especially when cooking for parties or large groups. I personally enjoy making chicken Karagge, chicken wings, hand-cut fries, or Brussels sprouts.
The voice of reason. I like it.
Good on you for truly exposing what good home cooking can do. Thank you!
As a home cook to a growing family of 4, who turns to RUclips for help and inspiration, I cannot even begin to explain all that I have learned from this channel (the same cannot be said of many other cooking channels). So thank you! As someone who hasn’t had a air fryer before, I was thinking the smaller Cosori Lite 4-quart would be the best place to start learning. Plus in come in sweet color options!
I’d love to try the Cosori Lite. The dish I like to make in my air fryer is “Flautas de Pollo” or crispy chicken rolled tacos. I make them at least once a week.
Thank you for this. Josh is so far up on his high horse about everything cooking and food in general that someone else with a platform needed to say it
No. U just cant stand someone making good videos
@@Outdoor-Dom no he used to be cool. But not anymore
@@Outdoor-Dom The comment you replied to had nothing to do with his video quality, Josh makes amazingly good quality videos, but all he does is shit on things he doesn’t like.
See his full video and in the end he says that air fryer are valid and have a place in a family kitchen, it’s just not for him
@@Outdoor-Dom the guy acts too good for an air fryer lmao and you act like all he’s trying to do is make good videos ha
I have a gas oven and it heats up the house like hell every time I use it, which is fine in the winter, but not in the summer. The air fryer has been my tool for most of the small roasting and heating up frozen food for a quick dinner. I made japanese croquettes and didn't feel like deep frying them, so I put them in there are pre-toasting the panko and they were great
Good luck to all! I’d love one of these at home and for me the Dual Blaze. Love the compact size but a decent basket for all our cooking needs.
I’d love to try a one basket dish - salmon, rice, teriyaki, veggies.
Good luck to all!
Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer
I was amazed at how brussel sprouts cook in the air fryer! I followed your recipe (w/some twists) & fell in love
We downsized 3 yes ago and only have an air fryer and propane cooktop. I actually became a better cook and super grateful for these little appliances that allow us to live simpler.
I love my air fryer. Everyone should have a mini convection oven.
I think you mean _convection_ oven.
@@AirashiiTiayou yeah. Hate auto correct. Fixed it.

I love making roasted veggies in my air fryer. Love to try this model. Dual Blaze™ 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer
I live with an actual hoarder, can't even walk safely around the house. I got an air fryer to finally be able to cook again and it's been a huge difference having that control back in my life.
Leave
@@Ben-qz6kg I am trying to, low income and not much housing in my area.
What a Chad move.
This is what all RUclipsrs should aspire to be like.
Btw, air fried salmon and potatoes.
Oh wow, by far one of my favorite channels. Many thanks for sharing the joy of cooking with such passion and patience. 🙏 I would be so grateful to have the Cosori Dual Blaze, and I must say...i'm pretty curious about using it to cook a whole chicken! Thanks for the opportunity.
I’m going to go with the cosori dual blaze, the main reason being it would be great for prepping meals such as salmon throughout the week and also great for hosting game days for wings!
what bothered me the most was that he destroyed a- like you said, a perfectly good air fryer, when there are other options. that fully functioning air fryer could've been donated or something. but no, he destroyed it for the sake of views, and it brought such an ick to me.
What was worse for me is that he stacked the deck in each recipe in his favour he bought it specifically to destroy, he never had any intention of a fair video. Completely tone deaf from Josh.
the Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer would be great for my kitchen, as a student my usual kitchen workspace is fairly small for the number of people using it, so this would allow me to cook things like salmon with teriyaki sauce, or your air fryer fries recipe on a regular basis when the kitchen is full.
COSORI
Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer
Would love this airfryer! Thank you for the recipes and help in the kitchen to feed my family of 4! Our favorite meal right now is air fried salmon and asparagus!
I got my first air fryer last week and I ❤ it! We have made the best chips, the best garlic bread, the best vegetables EVER and probably already saved a fair bit of energy. I have a large oven and to make that garlic bread it would have had to been on for at least for an hour. My air fryer did it in five and tasted so good! An amazing piece of gear!
The only thing I don't like about my air fryer is the fact I had to go without it for a few weeks waiting for my recall replacement.
Omgggg I’m still waiting on mine and it’s been like two months
@@airconditioning.8278 Ouch, hopefully they have been communicative about why it's taking so long.
The Cosori Dual Blaze is my choice. I’ve used air fryers for years thanks to you, but I’d love to take my air fryer game to the next level!
I LOVE my air fryer! And like you, I use it in my every day cooking and love the results. What I don’t like is cleaning my current Cosori model, so I would choose the Dual Blaze® 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. My favorite thing I cook in my air fryer is chicken wings. So many different variations. And they all come out..,Amazing! Love your content and your channel!
My roomate just moved out and took our air-fryer so I would take any model honestly, they all look great! I used to make little premarinated chicken drumsticks from Costco in there and they were the best, no air fryer hate here ever!
If I’m lucky enough to be chosen as one of the winners, my preferred air fryer would be the Dual Blaze 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. My older sister has been complaining about the lack of a broiler on our current one.
As for me, I usually use the air fryer to reheat things like bacon, wings, & french fries. It changed the game for my household regarding leftovers. If we’re talking brand new recipes, it was actually your chicken wing recipe that got me curious about air frying.
He's is giving them away because they sponsored him. You need to look up the phrase "beggars can't be choosers" lol
@@YeahBroILift He literally said to say the one you want in the comments.
I just recently started looking into air fryers so I looked up recipes and sadly saw Josh’s vid too 😢 him smashing the fryer hurt me a lil
The Cosori Dual Blaze 6.8 looks amazing! It would help so much with cooking for my family of 5 😅 and dude… Air fryer empanadas !! Yes please!!!
I have been wanting an air fryer for a while now. I love the idea of being able to warm up leftovers in it and cooking veggies in it without turning on the whole oven and wasting a bunch of energy. Or making ‘fried’ foods without the danger of heating up a bunch of oil, and the oil smell that stays in your house for forever… I think the Cosori Lite 4.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer would be perfect for my small kitchen and my food needs!
He's like James Oliver who hates chicken nuggets (which just like air fryers - are good, but despised by someone who feels superior). It a mix of classicism and flex, maybe some other factors too...
feelings of inadequacy, for starters. Seeing as how he makes it impossible for him to lose any of his battles.
I would love the 6.8 quart dual blaze air fryer, makes it easier to make my fave potstickers without the oil for pan frying, less babysitting & they're extra crunchy that way.
I have to try this, I love crunchy potstickers
My air fryer has been broken for some time, so this is exciting! I love making homemade “chips” using fresh made and boiled pasta noodles - just gotta crisp them up in the air fryer! I latched onto this idea once I had my kid and, without giving up my love for snacks, wanted to find an option that wasn’t quite as unhealthy. The seasoning usually is about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of each of the following
Chili powder
Cayenne
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Smoked paprika (always smoked)
Cumin
Salt
We usually do about a half pound of pasta for this. Throw it in the air fryer preheated to 400F and cook for about 10 min
Dual Blaze™ 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. I've cooked green beans in one owned by a friend and they got succulent, wrinkly, and perfect for making Sichuan style green beans.

I’ve never used an air fryer before, but I’m excited to try salmon and pancake squares with frozen berries.
We would love the Dual Blaze 6.8 qt smart air fryer for our homemade chicken wings!
The Dual Blaze 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer is the air fryer I would pick. I’ve got two toddlers who LOVE pizza. I would love to try a homemade pizza recipe in an air fryer! We unfortunately don’t have an air fryer right now and having one would be a game changer for quick meals. My wife and I both work full time and barely have time in the evenings to cook. Super cool that you’re giving these away!
Lovin the look of the Corsori Lite with the small footprint. I make smashed potatoes and breaded fish all the time. Throw both onto a wrap with some picked ginger, lettuce & kimchi - yuuum!
I'd love to have the Aeroblaze. I think making an entire roast chicken in the unit would be amazing!!! Also I could roast potatoes that would last for the week in this model. Looks great!!! Thank you!!
The Cosori dual blaze 6.8 quart air fryer would be nice. Would help me meal prep for 4 people on those week nights where I don't want to take multiple pans out. I'd love to try out some oven baked fries in it
I’ve worked at a couple of restaurants before and I was skeptical against air fryers until I started using them. They’re innovative and can make your cooking easier especially when you cook at home.
It’s so versatile! It has become one of my most used kitchen appliances lately.
The Dual Blaze 6.8 Quart Air fryer looks awesome. We have tried so many times to use the air fryer setting on our oven and it sucks especially in the summer! I don’t want to heat up my house to make a quick dinner for my family in the summer. Super generous of you!

I would go for the Pro LE 5.0-Quart Air Fryer
I love roasting veggies so i would use this for brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, beets, butternut... The list goes on. Have never had an air fryer so would love to test it out!
I would choose the Cosori Lite 4 quart looks like tons of fun in the kitchen! Especially in green!! I would immediately make wings and sweet potato fries with a crazy good dipping sause
You and Josh are like the polar opposites of cooking videos. You are home cook, and Josh is aspiring Michelin star. It would be so cool to see you guys face off.

I've literally never felt compelled to watch Joshua Whatshisname ngl
You should go to the comments section of Josh’s air fryer challenge video then. It’s literally hundreds of people saying how the air fryer is the clear winner.
I legit unsubbed on that video...but not really because of it...least not alone. I've been ignoring his videos for a while because they rub me wrong usually, but watched this one because I usually like "head-to-head" style content and I was like, "yeah, I don't need to watch anything from him anymore."
Yeah his ego trip has crept up on me too, there was something off and this video cemented it, everything is being done for the sake of his ego, previously it had been subtler but seeing the blatant deck stacking clicked everything into place
I'd say I'd want the "Dual Blaze 6.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer" and I really want to cook a healthier version of Nashville Hot Chicken!
Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer. I don't have recipes but very convenient way to reheat and crisp up leftover chips and onion rings
I would definitely be a fan of the COSORI Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer.
Ay man, the air fryer is a gift from above. Like someone with a camp fire refusing to use a gas stove- just chill man, it makes good food easier to cook. Certain stuff is better than ever

I often need more room in my air fryer than I have. We use it to reheat everything that will work but I often use it to cook meals that I would cook in the oven but are too small to justify using the oven, salmon packets are my favorite air fryer recipe
I quite like the mobile integration of the Pro II 5.8-Quart Smart Air Fryer and Lite 4.0-Quart Smart Air Fryer. I know it's simple but sweet potato fries with a spicy ranch is something that just makes me happy.
Josh got a well deserved smack down! Eventually he will learn 😂. I would love the white 4 quart Cosori! I wouldnt say my favorite is a recipe, but nothing beats homemade fries or any roasted veggie in the air fryer. Best of luck to everyone
No hate, but I feel like Josh is just doing it for the controversy or smth. The air fryer is a pretty nice kitchen appliances. Like who is against convenience in this day and age when our entire modern age is based on it.
