Hiya lovely's 💕 This is not a keeper for me as its just too big and so unfortunately the 2 videos I have up using it are all there will be sorry if this disappointed anyone take care and happy cooking 💜x
Just got ours today, only 2 of us but we like to batch cook like large cottage pies and lasagne etc. also will be great for roast dinners cooking the potatoes in with the meat. Thank you for a great video. All the info i needed.
@dans8158 Sounds like you'll be cooking up a storm 😋 It will definitely be good for them types of dishes it cooked a turkey crown to perfection 🥰 Unfortunately I'll not be keeping mine as its just a bit big and awkward for me to use. So I'm gifting it to a family that will get some good use from it. Happy cooking x
A very honest overview, I like your style of not rushing to give your opinion. The bottom element heat output is so low, I'm was not expecting it to make a significant difference. I've also seen a video by Candid Clara where she mentions heat bleed when testing the temperatures when the divider is in the machine. I am a fan of Cosori but I expecting the crisper plates to be ceramic coated for the non sale price of £289 price! I look forward to seeing more of your in-depth videos of this air fryer👍👏
@@missdiva421 Hi lovely 👋 I was actually thinking it would bleed heat I suppose it wouldn't make much difference if you were cooking things that were a similar temperature and I'd say it could bleed flavours also maybe wouldn't be good if doing spicy in one side and cake in the other 🤣 I have to agree it definitely up on the higher price point x
Hi lindz .just watched to support you.... good piece of kit and well demonstrated. To big for us two oldies. Couldn't see any difference in either cake But let's see as you demonstrate more .take care young lady ..shan and dave...
Hi Dave and Shan 💜 thank you as always for your support 😊 This is definitely more a family type air fryer it's far to big for the likes of us that only really cook for 2. Big hugs to you both x
Hi Lindz, great video hun! I have an air fryer oven (added to the collection a few months back lol), its different but not if that makes sense. It has the bottom and top heating elements, large cooking area, fan is at the top, same set up as your cosori I think. Mine is a Hysapientia though (I wanted a window and a rotisserie)... Anyhoo the bottom elements mean you get evenly distributed heat/cooking so you shouldnt have to turn food items much if at all. Bought mine predominantly for baking bread and cakes. Eg; large Banana bread cooked in 2lb loaf tin at 140°c for 55mins, Sandwich bread loaf in 2lb tin 175°c for 30mins. Its been an absolute game changer for my baking because the smaller size you havent got cold spots, its like cooking in a dutch oven almost. Try cooking chicken to get a better idea of the bottom elements, pies or make your own pizzas maybe Youll soon see the difference, less faffing. They're great. I dont use mine daily but i bake our bread twice a week in it, make pizzas at 240°c in 7mins. I wouldnt be without it. Im looking forward to seeing what culinary delights you do in it in the future. You like baking so i imagine once you get to grips with it you will love it 😊 sorry for the long post 😬
Thank you Lindz for the review, I always enjoy your videos. Maybe there will be a difference between air fry and bake if you bake a bigger cake...I don´t know. Some one said the Dry function is very handy if you need to keep food warm for a bit.
Hi Monica 👋 I've never thought of using the dehydrate for that although a few have suggested it. I think as there's only normally 2 of us I'm yet to need to keep anything warm but always handy to know. I use that function when I'm making homemade chips to dry them out a little also it helps when cooking to get a more even colour rather than the dalmatian look 😂x
It's definatly powerhouse beast Lindz, cosori have got a really good name, be excellent for a big family. Maybe not for the pensioners who have lost their winter fuel allowance 😁
Oh no Davey that's a disgrace 😢 I've been reading a few news articles from the UK and it just makes me so angry and upset that the most vulnerable seem to be getting pushed aside. This air fryer is definitely a energy hungry one and I'm looking forward to testing it against something similar that's a lower wattage 😉 Take care davey and try stay warm x
@@LindzandLife Thanks Lindz, I'm always cuddling up to something on the warm front😁 I should be OK, but those pensioners have really been turned over and this will stick with our government always, hope you are feeling a bit better, and your content is always welcomed.
@daveyeddie8176 You've actually just given me a video idea davey on keeping warm this winter as I'm generally a cold person and have a number of things I use over the winter as it's to expensive to run our heating all the time x
We are being picked on I'm only 66 I never thought I'd feel so threatened by a new government one day they will be older so let's see how they like it but they aren't hard up like normal folk...I'm now scared to put news on or look at the Internet feed on news especially today! I'm absolutely disgusted at how they have 0:03 singled out older people to rob from to feed the imigrants that keep on coming in and get housed fed and basically get greeted into this country makes me angry....wheres all the promises Starmer.....all lies ....need I say more ....no.
That’s a surprise Lindz! Perhaps try things you’d normally turn like steak/chops/bacon? See if the bottom elements cook the same as the top? In theory food should cook quicker and with minimum or no turning ? Looking forward to more testing of this airfryer. Thank you for showing us!
@denisefuller4483 Hi Denise 💜 this one is now packed back up and I'm giving it to a family I know could make use of it and heard there oven just packed up. It's like fate today x
I have the dual blaze I take plate out par boil potatoes put oil in bottom put on roast and every week my chicken and roasties are perfect I have this one as well just love them so will you 😊
Excellent video and am truly surprised by the result - was expecting the Bake Jobbies to be superior. Could you consider doing a Roast versus Air Fry video ?? ... because it's driving me nuts xxxx
Well the first thing I congratulate you on is that you started by showing us the measurements of the trays something that no manufacturer tells us in their information in sales literature and if you are in contact with any of them it is something you could perhaps discuss with them, quarts and liter are volumes not size and a vessel with a 5 inch base would be taller than one with a 6 inch base but an air fryer with a 9 inch span would be the same as another with a 9 inch span. Also why have food manufacturers not cottoned on to the fact that air fryers are very popular but they still sell 9 inch pizza when most drawers are 8 inches and some on dual drawers are 6 inches by 10 inches, not specific sizes just for illustration, perhaps you have contacts with food manufacturers to explain this too. Also with this machine I think Cosori missed out here in that they could have included a a second divider position to give quarter and 3 quarter dividing with the associated crisper plates obviously maybe a pricing policy but much more versatile. Your cup cakes should not have been cooked/baked in the silicon molds as these are poor conductors of heat and give unsatisfactory results in my opinion. Sorry too take up so much of your time but that is what the chat is for, isn't it.
@@grahamjohnson4702 Hi Graham 👋 As always you have some very valid points there. I'd love to think I had contacts in both design teams and food manufacturing but unfortunately I haven't 😕 I'd love to design a air fryer now with the knowledge I've learnt so far. As for pizza the fresh section in most stores do a really basic 7in ( economy range) that's the best I've found still a little big for some draws 😅 I'm not a fan of anything silicone really for air fryers but they were a handy option for this one x
Hi Lindz. Thank you for not showing the unboxing. I've always felt that was just to stretch the video. I think most adults know how to take something out of a box. Just a suggestion but maybe try a grilled cheese. One on bake and one air fried without flipping to see how the bake side does.Hope you're having a wonderful day and you make my Tuesdays the best! xx
i look forward to seeing what other stuffs you might attempt. Be interesting to push the limits, maybe a full on Sunday Roast with cake for afters... you have the skills to push it hard.

@@LindzandLife Sounds great Lindz, you are to blame for me buying an air fryer and i respect your skills, so bring on the Fryer wars. Thanks for the reply Lindz.

@georgecaspira3637 I'm delighted to hear that but I'm going to have to push you know for a full dinner 😄 ( My one draw wonders are easy) And your welcome 💜x
Hello Lindz, we purchased the Ninja Foodi 11 Quart 7-in-1 MegaZone XL FlexBasket Air Fryer a couple of years ago when it first came out we thought it was a great concept with the single super large drawer with a two zone option with the divider, but we found it such a hassle to clean in the sink due to the size of the drawer since you have to wash the whole thing even if used the smaller divided side so we rarely used it.. We no longer use it because of this and we purchased a smaller single drawer fryer that we use all the time. PS..The new fryer has a window and we love that option.
Hi John 👋 I fully get what your saying theses bigger draw air fryers are good for family's I think but I do rather my single draw ones much easier to clean also 😂 And I'm finding the handle a little awkward to pull it in and out. I can't see this being a keeper for us x
@ We wish we had seen a review like yours, which highlighted the size of the drawer in an actual sink. It definitely would’ve saved us making the wrong decision like we did. When we purchased ours, it was brand new to the market and I only seen it at Costco where we purchased it and there is no reviews whatsoever on it at the time. I will have to say it worked flawless. Just the size was the issue. It would fit in the dishwasher and take up a whole rack but didn’t want to run the dishwasher after every time we used it and we’re a firm believer of washing it out after each use. We’re weird like that.. lol
Hi Lindz, be great to see comparison of cakes and pies cooked in the dual blaze and ninja AF400. Ideally struggle with my AF 400 getting the bottom cooked. Though i noticed your toad in hole video you did sausages at 240 max crisp so when you put batter in the pans were good n hot TY for effort you put into this
Hi Lindz. When I bake small cakes I use an ice cream scoop the one you squeeze the handles together and has a bit that releases the ice cream. This way I can get the same amount in all the paper cases. It works well for me as I never seemed to get them all the same size. Hope you will try this. Winifred
Hi Lindz great video I bought this one just yesterday but have not done anything in it yet I would liketo say Lindz your explaiing of things is great. Lindz could i just ask you what ya recipe is for the buns. Take care. Marion xx
Hi Marion 👋 I'd love to know how you get on with yours when you start using it lovely My fairy cake Ingredients are 110g margarine 110g white sugar 110g self raising flour 2 x medium eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp milk Happy cooking x
Try a toad in the hole in it !!!!!!!!! I did a toad in the ninja , you have to flip it , meh. So , I would like to see if the bottom element would give it the perfect finish without the fuss. Xx
Hi Lindz that is very like my Instant Vortex Versazone that I was telling you about but mine doesn't have a bottom element,my drawer isn't as wide at 33cm but it's 25cm front to back and 11cm with the crisper tray out and I love it,it's classed as an 8.7 ltr but looks bigger and it's only 1700 watts and also my timer goes up in single digits not 5's.I think Cosori haven't included a thermometer as they will want you to buy their smart thermometer for £80,I know I don't have a bottom element on mine and it doesn't make any difference if I use air fry or bake I just get the same results each time,I love doing my steaks in my air fryer but I do have to turn them half way through but that's fine,I wonder how that would perform and if you would have to turn them,I've seen a few reviews of this machine and yours was the best as nobody else compared the same food product with two different basket setting,brilliant review flower 💕Xx
Hi Ricky 💜 I actually have the instant Vortex plus versazone sat waiting for me to take it out of the box that instant sent me. I'd love to know how you do your steaks please and I'm really looking forward to your input on my review of it as you've had yours a while and I know you love it 💜 I've higher hopes for the versazone 🤞 Thank you as always for your support it really means so much x
@@LindzandLife I just oil and season them Lindz then I preheat my air fryer at 200c for 3 or 4 minutes and add the steaks,I set the air fryer for 10 minutes and check the temp around 5 minutes before turning and as soon as they are reading between 63c and 68c which is medium to well done, I take them out and wrap them in tin foil to rest for a few minutes till I dish the veg,as you know all air fryers are different as is every cut of meat but that's how I do it and they have always been nicely cooked Xx
I thought the air fry and bake pre set both use the bottom element but pre set temps are different. The broil programme which is uk grill is top element only.....I think
Hi Janice 👋 Yes all apart from grill use both upper and lower elements from the booklet it shows depending on which setting you use depends on how the heat is different for example on bake the top element is less intense and bottom element is on full. But from trying it I really don't thing there's any difference x
Hi Lindz the cupcakes l also could not tell any different from the ones on air fry and bake both sides looked the same colour and texture how about trying a chicken in the airfryer to see how it fairs in the airfryer it should be fine and cook evenly hope your keeping well 😊
@@Craftyeastyorkshirelass Hi Karen 💜 My normal test is a roast chicken when I get new cooking appliances so I'll be doing that 😋 when I get a chance ill have a catch up on your content I hope it's going well x
Unfortunately I can't get to UK stores for their economy ranges as I live in Spain but Lidl do a family chilled size at 38x28 cm that cuts up into 4 handy sized pizza one for using and the other 3 for the freezer
@@JohnathanWood-i2j that definitely makes sense and I was going to but wanted to test it like a normal air fryer. I'm going to try with out next time. Have a great day lovely x
Thanks Lindz, I really enjoyed this. Actual information which is useful and not just cooking fish fingers and chips (🥱 yawn). You’re looking so much better now, I hope your health continues to keep you well🤞🏻Best Wishes, Gill X
Hi Gill 💜 it's my mission to get people making more than just chips in there air fryers 😂 I'm doing a bit better I've a little more time now so that makes a difference and I'm also having some success with some new pain products I'll do a update video soon. Have a great week lovely x
I am sorry I'm here again but I forgot to say in my previous post that the higher wattage may help to bring temperature up quicker and then go onto tick over thus saving fuel, but you need a graph to prove this point. Or perhaps one of those power usage gadgets.
Too cumbersome to heave one huge draw out if using one side its dumb in my eyes....not for me personally...I'll stick to this model with two drawers which is excellent...😊 thank goodness lindz no unboxing and endless chit chat about the recipe book !!! So many have unboxed this now its out of control lol 😅😅😅❤
@@Silverdale15 hi lovely it's definitely more aimed at bigger families and I totally agree just trying to wash this was a struggle 😅 and I'm not keen on the handle it's awkward. No need for the unboxing bit but some are actually getting paid to review and I think that states they have to and also say it's the best thing ever. I won't do paid reviews unless I'm free to make my own content and allowed my own opinion which puts alot of companies off 🤣 Can't think why 🤣 x
@@LindzandLifethank you for responding.....I agree totally....I'm only one....but I would like the ability to cook a huge duck if u get my drift taking my tape measure to m and s seems ott !!!! I'll stick to my cosori lesser model which I absolutely enjoy using this is too much unless you have a huge kitchen and four to feed....love your vlogs hope life is treating u ok Lindz. ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤ Ps yes cakes and pies with bottom elements is V useful but one finds ways to get the thing cooked......but I still can't invest in this so we carry on as it were...😊

Hi Lindz the cupcakes l also could not tell any different from the ones on air fry and bake both sides looked the same colour and texture how about trying a chicken in the airfryer to see how it fairs in the airfryer it should be fine and cook evenly hope your keeping well 😊
@@Craftyeastyorkshirelass Hi Karen 💜 My normal test is a roast chicken when I get new cooking appliances so I'll be doing that 😋 when I get a chance ill have a catch up on your content I hope it's going well x
Hi Linz, could you perhaps test Yorkshire puddings? Xx
Hi Traci 👋 that's a great idea as we know how they do in ninja so will be interesting to see how the cosori handles them. It's now on my test list x
Unfortunately I can't get to UK stores for their economy ranges as I live in Spain but Lidl do a family chilled size at 38x28 cm that cuts up into 4 handy sized pizza one for using and the other 3 for the freezer
When I do a cake on bake I take the crisper plate out to get full heat from the bottom element.
@@JohnathanWood-i2j that definitely makes sense and I was going to but wanted to test it like a normal air fryer. I'm going to try with out next time. Have a great day lovely x
Looks good Lindz . I keep telling myself you dont need you dont lol
@annettesharrock1236 I definitely didn't need it 🤣 I don't think this one will be a keeper, if I'm honest 💜x
@@LindzandLife oh well lol
Thanks Lindz, I really enjoyed this. Actual information which is useful and not just cooking fish fingers and chips (🥱 yawn). You’re looking so much better now, I hope your health continues to keep you well🤞🏻Best Wishes, Gill X
Hi Gill 💜 it's my mission to get people making more than just chips in there air fryers 😂 I'm doing a bit better I've a little more time now so that makes a difference and I'm also having some success with some new pain products I'll do a update video soon. Have a great week lovely x
I am sorry I'm here again but I forgot to say in my previous post that the higher wattage may help to bring temperature up quicker and then go onto tick over thus saving fuel, but you need a graph to prove this point. Or perhaps one of those power usage gadgets.
Burgers and Yorkshire pudding ?
Definitely try chips
Maybe using bake rather than air fry would be more noticeable on larger cakes
Hi Sandra 👋 that's a good point actually I might have to try that x
Drawback you can’t fit the draw in the sink to wash it
Too cumbersome to heave one huge draw out if using one side its dumb in my eyes....not for me personally...I'll stick to this model with two drawers which is excellent...😊 thank goodness lindz no unboxing and endless chit chat about the recipe book !!! So many have unboxed this now its out of control lol 😅😅😅❤
@@Silverdale15 hi lovely it's definitely more aimed at bigger families and I totally agree just trying to wash this was a struggle 😅 and I'm not keen on the handle it's awkward. No need for the unboxing bit but some are actually getting paid to review and I think that states they have to and also say it's the best thing ever. I won't do paid reviews unless I'm free to make my own content and allowed my own opinion which puts alot of companies off 🤣 Can't think why 🤣 x
@@LindzandLifethank you for responding.....I agree totally....I'm only one....but I would like the ability to cook a huge duck if u get my drift taking my tape measure to m and s seems ott !!!! I'll stick to my cosori lesser model which I absolutely enjoy using this is too much unless you have a huge kitchen and four to feed....love your vlogs hope life is treating u ok Lindz. ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤ Ps yes cakes and pies with bottom elements is V useful but one finds ways to get the thing cooked......but I still can't invest in this so we carry on as it were...😊
cook some chicken , if its brown on the bottom , win win , easy experment
Hi Mark 💜 My normal test is a roast chicken with any of my new appliances so it's on the list 😊 on a different note amazon cancelled my fairy order so looks like I'm going to have to go shopping around 😂x
